From what i heard...michael wanted his children to be brought into the truth. I heard that he wrote down in his will that he wanted his children to attend the kingdom hall. maybe if it wasn't for the problem with his fame, he would of still be in the truth

i don't like the new songs b/c they sound more depressing or halloweenish. Don't ask me why i feel that way b/c it is just a random feeling.

i done this foolish thing months ago not knowing about what i was about to face. I committed fornication one time with a guy. i went to the elders with this guilt that jehovah wouldn't forgive me for hiding it. i remember some publications that state "yeah you are hiding your sins but jehovah sees it and it will come to the light at the end" why the hell did i believe that? this experience made me truly see that being a member of this organization is not for me and i saw that the WTS is not really the truth.

Other Religions use the Name JEHOVAH too
by UnDisfellowshipped inare jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.
jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.
for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.

it is pretty obvious other people use that name. but some jws use that to their advantage to show that they are in" the truth"

I don't believe that garbage myself...in my congregation, almost all men wants to be elders for that boost in their lives...some women probably wish they can become elders too lol j/k

Interesting Experience -Man falls in love with "Special Pioneer" sister who studied with him.
by Witness 007 inwhen i pioneered we travelled to a small "outback" town every week...population 1,200, to assist 2 witness families with preaching.
a special pioneer sister {single not that great looking 40 year old} started a study with a tough hard working aussie bloke, but....rather then hand it over to me she continued to hold onto the study for afew months.
see outback australia is a bloody hot place during the summer so it's easier to spend the afternoon under a fan having a study rather then door knocking with a mile between houses!!!!

I had feelings for a guy outside the organization at school. my mom knows about it. my mom questioned "what are you doing having feelings for a worldly guy?" She pretty much told me how ridiculous i was for having something i thought was natural. WTS puts out all of these regulations and expect people to follow them. No matter how hard you try, you can not follow every regulation or find something wrong with at least one of them. The governing body do not follow every rules in their doctrine. Following these rules do not make you a moral person, it makes you obedient to the society on every word...

That comment about sex, partying, and drinking is completely a myth. I'm a pre-dental student and this is my sophomore year in college. I refused to go to a party and i refused to drink alcoholic beverages. My decision on that is personal. The whole college thing is a conscience matter now. I think the WTS is seeing that going to school is necessary for the competition for jobs today especially high paying jobs. When i go to assemblies and listen to these young people being proud to become part time pioneers instead of going to school (I think they are putting on a show anyway), it didn't convince me one or the other...any young ones that are willing to pioneer and not going to school, they are doing it for them but they are doing it for the WTS to get more members...thats why we about 7 millions people in "the truth". As far as blood transfusion, i am beginning to see it also...Because the WTS just came out and said that we can acceptall fractions(which amount to whole blood)...the whole scenario jws are using to support their argument about avoiding alcohol and not getting alcohol in our iv is going to a direction of being bogus...the doctor tells the patient to avoid alcohol but the patient can accept fractions? alcohol is alcohol just like blood is blood...

Door to Door Message? A DIVERSION! Where does the MONEY go??
by Terry inthe door to door work is a sham.. the central activity of the watchtower bible and tract society is not spreading their so-called "message" about the kingdom of jehovah established in the heavens in 1914.. that's a load of propaganda.. the door to door activity is feckless in producing converts.
in fact, it is an immense failure of mammoth proportions!.
but, it is a diversion.

i had wondered whether or not they pay the bethelites. i asked myself do the bethelites work part time and work a real paying job on the side or do they work full time and get paid by the hours.
