  Another day, another apostate. Here's my story.

  by I Want to Believe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  been lurking for a bit, and feel safe enough now to tell my story (condensed).. i'm a third-generation born-in, but my parents were inactive for most of my upbringing.

  this means i got the worst of both worlds--no worldly friends (home schooled all but grades 2-3), no witness friends (since we never went to the hall except for memorial), and a generally isolated upbringing in a tiny, tiny town.

  needless to say, my emotional, social, and personal growth were stunted.

  Anyone count how many times one of the elders asked where this young man did his research? The elder's questioning hinted, IMO, at seeming more concerned about finding out if the research involved apostate sources than whether what was found out or learned was truthful!

  Could someone post the link to part 2 please? It doesn't come up on the iPhone by viewing part 1 from the link on this page. And I don't know the actual title of the video so as to view it on the YouTube app. Thanks!

  He's Trying to get me to come back to the fold...by admitting the faults of the Watchtower

  by PYRAMIDSCHEME in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my firend (who is an elder) recently sent the email below trying to get me to come back.

  he freely admits the faults of the wt and even goes on to say that even if they did not have gods holy spirit, he felt they would still have gods blessing as the one true religion.

  i thought i would get your thoughts on this as it really is (sadly) delusional.

  I read letters like that and continue to be amazed how JWs like him believe this crap. Especially when the GB at first credits Jehovah with having blessed them with understanding, and then in the future change their teachings, yet again, and then claim it was them who were over zealous in reaching a conclusion.
