  my friend's daughter, who was baptized at 14, has decided to leave the witnesses.

  she's in her early 20's.

  she's stopped going to meeting a while ago and moved in with her father who is disfellowshipped.

  My friend's daughter, who was baptized at 14, has decided to leave the Witnesses. She's in her early 20's. She's stopped going to meeting a while ago and moved in with her father who is disfellowshipped. She recently got a registered letter from the elders asking for a meeting. If she ignores the letter, what happens next?

  How do JWs Not see how barbaric YHWH is? Its what started my awakening.

  by BU2B in

  if one reads genesis from the first chapter through the end with an open mind, it is clear that not only is it not true, but that god is potrayed as a cruel, petty, childish micromanaging tyrant.

  if one continues reading the ot this is just further solidified.

  how do jws not see the obvious?

  I just read the book Jehovah Unmasked. It makes the case that Jehovah is actually Satan in disguise and a different god than the one Jesus spoke of. Very interesting and makes a lot of sense.

  The book is available as a free pdf download.
