  To all who "can't see" the message, if you have an iPhone, or perhaps some other smartphone, download a free app called RedLaser. The light will get brighter.

  If you've left JWs for Christ - will the end still come?

  by flamegrilled in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something i don't see supported much on jwn is the notion that the end of this system is indeed coming, even if later than wts has predicted over the years.. now for those that have left and become complete non-believers (in the bible) that is understandable.

  you guys are welcome to comment of course, but i'm far more interested in some feedback from the people who have left jws and pursued a christian course.

  are you still convinced that there will be a war of armaggedon or do you now interpret the scriptures a different way?.

  I can't remember the 'Most Important Date of My Life!' Can you?

  by Diest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i honestly cant remember the exact date when i was baptized.

  it does not bother me one bit.

  i didnt have it stamped in that shitty reasoning book/babel that i got at the time, so i guess the only place i could find it would be my cards, which are far away..

  The actual date I do know. But it may be TMI right now.

  I'll just say I was 17. Not ready for marriage, or life, but ready to serve the org God forever.

  What part of "TRUE" needs "adjustment"?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let us conduct a thought experiment!.

  let's say you work for a huge investment firm run by a brilliant ceo who has a perfect track record for business decisions.. the ceo sends e-mails, text messages and makes phone calls from his remote island hideaway heaven island.. none of the employees ever actually see him.

  they rely on his hand-picked leaders sitting in the big office on the top floor of the corporate building.. these leaders pass along the transmitted instructions as conduits.. what would ever destroy confidence in these hand-picked leaders as competent and honest brokers?

  Terry, your thread makes too much sense. I want to go back to being blind and confused.

  As always, thanks for an insightful and thought provoking thread.

  Was it EX JW literature / WT's or the BIBLE which woke you up? Post scriptures if any....

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i considered myself immune to ex jw stuff.

  no amount of old watchtowers or anything would change me.

  it was seeing treatment of others by elders and the bible itself, which woke me.

  I Was Offered A Bible Study By The Elders

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  2 elders, the cobe and his sidekick, a former bethelite and a young ms (elder in waiting) stopped by my mom's home while i was visiting with her.

  they were very congenial and eventually asked me if i got invited to the memorial and whether they could arrange a future visit with me and a possible study.

  i thanked them and told them i appreciated their invitation but that i was going to "pass at this time" but thanked them for their concern.. they recited a "wonderful experience" about a young man that was raised in the "truth" but wanted out so he decided to go to asia where he could not be found by witnesses.

  If you felt/feel that you had/have good, close "friends" in the org, how did/does it feel to just give them up?

  by Crisis of Conscience in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my biggest dilema.

  although mentally i really feel i could walk away from the org right now, i still have genuine love for the people i have come to know over the years.

  i love people!.

  in the past, i truly believed that.
