a year ago i read a post where one argued the 587 bc with only insight and the bible, but i have lost it and can't find it again.
can someone help me with that, please?.
The case is over for me about the letters and so on. It was very traumatic when going on. They are so holly, they can not condescend to talk the case out far less show regret and apologize.
Actually I am very glad it happened. It forced me to look for answers of what I really was involved with. I found jwfacts.com, ordered CoC and here I am.
I am still "in", but stopped meeting attendance two years ago. They don't bother me, but I have to watch my back.

Thank you very much, AnnOMaly. I'm impressed. It took only two minutes from my question to the answer was there!!!
When I wrote to the Society with a question, I did not get ANY answer!

just setting the record straight.
there is another thread that notes a claim on wiki that said that ray has died.. he had a stroke yesterday, and is in the hospital.
he is still alive.
I'll pray for Ray and Cynthia. - Ray, the man who opened my eyes.
active unbaptised publisher here.you?
(though i already know the answer for some people).
The category "inactive" fit me best. I am trapped in. The Society has my children as hostages. Stopped meetingattendance and fieldservice two years ago.
i'm getting coffee at the 7-11 about 8:30 this morning , in the parking lot i see this guy i know and his wife talking to some jw's in the parking lot.
i go over and say hi joe and wife, i play stupid and ask do you go to church with these people.
they say no they are preaching jesus to us.
Judge, have you been a publisher yourself?
the fds argue about the murders in connection with the only two birthday parties mentioned in the bible.. the cup bearer was released at pharaoh's birthday.
by that incident joseph could be freed and next; millions of people included the israelite were saved from famine.
one man was killed, but millions were saved..
Smixon, very awakening argument. Thank you.
so for some people, there is the one breaking point that makes people leave.
for me, not so much about doctrine, but about how people treated one another.
i always heard that we show we are the true religion because we have love among ourselves.
The lack of love was the last straw for me; I ran out of excuses for them....and realized it was emotionally and spiritually abusive to stay around.
That was Blondie's word. Just the way I discovered it.
i was born into "the truth" back in 1964. i made the big mistake of getting baptised when i was about 14 or so, purely to please my father as i saw how proud he was when my brothers were baptised....didn't work.. we moved to a new congregation when i was about 8, he introduced all my brothers to the congregation by name, a short bio of thier endearing qualities and how proud he was of them, when he introduced me it was "and this is our black sheep of the family, steve".. i remember living in fear at the fast approaching 1975....actually, living in terror is probably a more apt desciption.
all of you will full well know how it was instilled into us at every meeting and assembly how we are living in the last days.. as a 15 year old, a brother dobbed me in for kissing a worldly girl at school.
went through the marked process, judicial committy, disfellowshipped and the shunning which continues to this day by what's left of my family.
When I finally started scrutinizing my religion a couple of years ago, it was done very quickly to determine that I could not trust anything from the Watchtower - about one or two months, I think. Then I knew that Armageddon would not come the way Watchtower render it and absolutely no protection for such thing by staying in the organization - rather the opposite.
after 1250 emails between my friend, derek and i discussing why i am a catholic.
and not a jw and after sending him verses about how christ wants to come into.
our lives etc, i came to the conclusion, my friend who had not uttered one.
According to Don Cameron the "only" method for reaching a witness is to point on the legitimacy of the GB. Point on all the false prophecies and ask: "How can Jehovah expect ordinary people to be able to choose a 'prophet' who never ever has got any prediction fulfilled?"
