just after a bit of advise.
after i started fading about 8 months ago, i decided to join a dating web site.
ok i meet a lady, who i have dated twice.
Well she could be right, unless you have done the research and proven to yourself that it is utter bollocks then there is always the possibility you could return, especially if your life nosedives somehow and you need the warm and fuzzies again.
That she said this shows a depth of thought and perception worth pursuing, the rest is up to you and all the obvious advice would be to take it slow.
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.
Snare dont go man, there's no need and you are a frickin awesome poster.
many of us know where we were during 9/11 or when john kennedy and martin luther king were killed.. it seems that when faced with ttatt, real truth is dismissed as "ol' light" or "an imperfect group of men" but from what i gather, many of you, at some point, were hit with a component of ttatt that shattered all of those cliches that allowed you to brush off the obvious reality that something was very wrong.
some of you may remember the hours following your earliest exposures to an undeniably true tatt.
did you zone completely out?
Lots of swearing, emotional buzz probably just adrenalin, then a period of near obsession with it. Feelings can swing to anger and back to happyness several times before settling down. I remember the good feeling that came with the sheer mental freedom to actually question everything in my own mind and allowing myself to say out loud to myself thoughts and words forbidden by the cult. Simply vocalising the phrase "it's a f@cking cult" for the 1st time was cathartic.
607 was the killer blow for me, I'd seen plenty of fluff (from my viewpoint at that time) as to what was wrong with the WTBTS etc and nothing really clicked until I got down to solid proof that a foundational doctrine was utter bollocks.
i would like to share my understanding of armageddon & the end of the 1,000 year reign.
i would really appreciate any criticism, or facts that dispute this understanding... especially if the facts are from the bible.. - adam & eve were perfect and they sinned with a perfect mind & body.. - all mankind that has lived since adam & eve have been imperfect, none have had the ability to resist sin, nor have they had the ability to see or understant absolute truth that can only originate from god.. - if imperfect humans were judged, while still imperfect, one could reason that adam & eve had been given a better chance at life then what the rest of humanity was given.. - 1 john 4:8,9.
- 1 timothy 2:6. armageddon.
As Jgnat hinted at, you need to understand how and why we have the bible we do before jumping to the next level of believing it a certain way and any spin or interpretation of a particular translation of it.

i am presently fadding out and a person that i know sent me an email telling me he was going back to his meeting.
how can i let him know that i think he probably will be better outside if he keeps trying without running the risk that he goes back and forward the email to a local elder?.

Avoid putting anything in writing that can be used against you.
A simple link to jwfacts or a statement might be doable, but dont comment on it with your viewpoints that could then be used against you.

My comment about you was regarding your comparision of this site to a conspiracy theory site, not about your OP. Stay focused and try not to take everything as a personal attack.

There is no comparison between that website and this one. WTF are you smoking?

Well if you will read websites devoted to conspiracy theories such as that one then you are on the slippery slope to their shared delusion.
The tag line there is:
read their piece about Miley Cyrus as an example of it.
So it's hardly likely to be a reaslistic view on the Lauren Hills tax affairs or state of mind either is it.
