  i'm reading crisis of conscience right now and even raymond franz mentioned in his book that ted jaracz didnt vote during governing body sessions based off of 'a gut feeling' like dan sydlik and lyman swingle did, but voted based off of having 'a mean spirit (dont quote me on that) but bascially got an overall vibe that ted jaracz was not a very nice man.

  and whats this about the child abuse policy that he enforced?

  what did he do that made every ex-jw's in america hate him?

  Bascially by saying that I'm an LGBT associate of Jehovah's Witnesses is that, I'm saying that I'm a person that is still attending meetings but I also like women but technically I'm in the closet but my family knows about me liking women...one of the other reasons why I'm planning on leaving the religion. Can't be a lesbian and a JW's. But mostly its because of doctrine reasons, and them misleading their followers.

  Thank you...yes, some people it takes a while for them to realize it, I didnt realize this in 2007, but now its 2010, and my mind set about the organization has totally changed.

  Not only is the concept of being the holy channel of communication between Jesus and them to us uncredible, so is the concept of a

  a governing body. There is nothing that is scriptually based that supports the Godly approval of a governing body. And the overlapping theory is just

  plan 'sillyness.' If people really read the bible and understand what it is saying (especially Romans) the scriptures all apply to the WTBS and it doesnt

  support that concept at all. This is just a theory but what 'spirit' is the so called annointed really following. Could it possibly be an evil spirit? And

  someone in the Governing Body knows that the organization was bulit on a lie and unfullfilled theories and fake prophecies ex: 1975, but there

  committed to partial lies. I dont think the organization as a whole is bad, but everything as a dark side, and the dark far out weighs the light. And

  also, the internet is not always bad, ex: satan's tool, like the 'society' tries to make it out to be. I think the internet came along

  to expose certain things, and to see the bad side of it also.

  To Jamiebowers:

  It took a little while. About three days to finally get officially approved.

  Thank you guys. Not only am I seeing the organization for how hypocritical it is, there are also a lot of people at my hall who are living

  double lives, all while being baptized and pioneers. Theres one sister I know who just got married but who my brother said she saw on a

  dating site that said she was a lesbian. I'm like, how can you get married, and be gay?? Why do you want to live a double life. I'd rather be who I am

  then try to front for the organization. I'm an LGBT associate of Jehovah's Witness also. (Well, at least for now, lol).

  Thank you guys. I'm just getting the right groove. Trying to get comfortable in my 'seat' sort of speak lol.

  My parents got baptized in 1992. My aunties in 1968, 74, and 89. I have cousins that go to the kingdom hall also. For

  reason I'm starting to really wake up and see the organization for what it really is. And talk about hypocritical. My

  parents who are in their 40's havent woke up yet. I pray that they do in 'due time' like they tell me. They think I'm

  the one who is asleep.

  my late grandmother was not. I'm from Milwaukee, WI. I'm an aspiring writer/singer, an amatuer artist and wanna be musician. I discovered this site

  when I

  did a google search for Ray Franz and I clicked on to the forums and here I am. Well, the reason why I decided to register for this website is because

  I've been reading a lot of post and everyone on here are very logical thinkers. I only hope that people at the Kingdom Halls will really start to wake up

  and realize some things. I'm not discrediting the bible in general, but just the controling nature of the society, and them saying that there the only

  channel of communication between us and Jesus. It doesnt add up and it doesnt make sense. I read Raymond Franz's book 'Crisis of Conscience'

  I plan on reading 'In search of Christian Freedom.' His books are very insightful, and while I know that its 'his story' we all have our

  own experiences. I plan on sharing some of my experiences with you guys and my questions, and I hope the answers are insightful. We are all in t

  the struggle, and I hope that the struggle comes out in our favor.
