Why not spend your time on the basics first eh, like learning how and why we have the bible we have and what that knowledge means for you.
Does the bible stand up to real scrutiny?
i went to the meeting last night, (with the start of a beard) and going throught he book study i had a thought.
god our "heavenly father" wants us to have a personal relationship with him because he is love.
well my brain disconnected from this thinking because if the bible was "written primarily for the anointed" and the benefits in the bible can only be mine because of "association" with the anointed, then i can never have a personal relationship with god or jesus.

i ran in to a ex-jw and had a good laugh once he realized i was not going to shun him.
i am a different soul when we are dealing with watchtower demonology, everything about the organization is fan boy based.
watchtower creates the illusion of a community that never existed, we were too blind to realize most of the people we invested time with was nothing more than a farce, once you can't offer up more sacrfices on the watchtower's alter, your going to get less attention and eventually if your kingdom hall is big enough, they won't come looking for you.. .
Unless it's your family, then it is your problem...
thanks to this legal victory, all citizens of russia will continue to have access to this excellent bible-education website..
Highly retarded more likely....

WTF was that?
what if any scriptures do the gb use to say the f&ds are picked in 1919??
how did they come up with jesus picking the f&ds and in 1919??.
i have only heard of a scripture in malichi about and inspection or something and when reading it its beccomes obvious that its not talking about what they say, so what other scriptures do they use or is the whole thing just made up with out scriptures to try to prove it?.
Off the top of my head it was something to do with 42 months (1260 days) in Revelation.
But that would only get to 1918, so i'm not sure what the mental gymnastics required to reach 1919 are sorry.
i think the organization is worried most about how jws will stay loyal to their families even as it rejects the admonition of the gb and elders..
Independent thinking...
so the elder i studied with called round last wednesday.
i didn't tell him i'd lost my faith, i just said there are a number of reasons i wouldn't be able to return to either my studies or the meetings.
he asked me whar 2 or 3 of my reasons are so we could discuss them.. my reply: 1 i think all christians should partake of the bread and wine.
Are you baptised as a JW? If not then you are free and clear, no need for the slightest effort on your part except getting them to leave you alone again.
using only the wts publlications what would be a curriculum or study plan you would use to get someone to research ttatt?.
1914-1919. sodom and gomorrah resurrected.
generations mt.
^ That^
You dont need all of them, I only read two volumes of the 7 and it was very eye opening (1914 etc mainly as 607 being debinked was it for me)
im not a jw but my recently x boyfriend is.
he and were dating for the past 6 years.
i found out he had gotten married to a jw in the last 1and a half of our relationship.
What Jgnat said..
Turn up at his kindumb hall (church) and introduce yourself to his wife and parents would be my suggestion. It should all then kick off from there.....
yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.
we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
