it's time for me to move on.
i would like my leave with a good reason why we should leave j.w.

Rebel - Great post. For me the importance of not exposing my children to the cult made it impossible to stay in. Every other consideration was secondary to that.
If you mean you are moving on from the forum then let me wish you well. Would love to meet up some day.

Incredible how many "gas explosions" there have been around Europe in recent months.
How can a problem be solved unless we name it? ISLAM is the fucking problem!
a recent o.p origins of the universe bought home to me with ovbious clarity that i have no scientific background.
this realization was rather embarrassing for myself to admit, particularly as my child of 11 has began asking some rather intersting questions on scientific matters.

It's an amazing resource. Incredible that it is free!
i realize that the anointed class inherits heaven while the great crowd inherits a renewed planet earth, but how and when are the anointed chosen?
are these people born with spirits or do they grow them as they live?
when they die, they don't sleep but go right to heaven, right?
Nobody has a "spirit".

He's gotta make a living
$400 per hour is more than "a living".
That $400 is the same amount an 'OK' lawyer would charge (per hour)
He isn't a lawyer or a psychiatrist or a psychologist. He is a "counselor".
he would make sure we all new that was the old one. Buy the new one!

What an annoying voice. I would pay him $400 to stop talking.
according to christianity, the death of jesus was a miscarriage of justice.
so then, what if there was no so-called miscarriage of justice so that jesus was not put to death by the romans but he instead died a natural death?

i decided to join this forum as have been lurking awhile.
there are lots of interesting topics on here that appeal to me.. i have been a witness for almost 3 decades and am very disillusioned with the organisation at this time.
i am beginning to see it in a new light as i am getting older.
Hello and welcome to the forum. There are so many who have been JWs for a long time who are disturbed by the direction the organisation is taking. Refuse to be cowered by their manipulation any longer.
