  Here i am....

  by makersmark in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  here i am - born in truth, hard-core spiritual everything all my life, early reg.pioneer, ms, elder, assembly parts, tour at bethel, etc, married now...... i'm trying to examine jw teachings a little closer...... i've spent the last two weeks reading many many posts, info , references on where ex-jw's are coming from.

  i'm kind of concerned about a few things lately..... honestly - some points make sense to me - some don't - here are my general thoughts:.

  -wt getting un membership for access to library - doesnt bother me - some passports and other governement documents have similar forms and requirements..... -blood issue - some counterpoints to the jw 'rules' makes sense (original intent of scripture is unbled animals, white blood cells similar in mothers milk) etc -however a lot of 'apostate' reasonings and proof are inaccurate.

  I agree childshness is unacceptable. But their is alot of proof of what went on in the past.For me it was 1975 and of course the stuff about Nathan Knorr and Fred Franz.Again welcome to the forum.

  Demonstrations From the Platform

  good evening, all.... still relatively new here so if i'm posting about a topic that's already been run into the ground, i apologize.

  but i just wanted to acknowledge the typical "demo" we all see at meetings, assemblies and conventions.

  even back when i was a good-goody teen dub, my brother, friends and i would jokingly refer to demos as "5-minute illustrations on how to say 'no.'".

  I remeber those.I remeber one where an elder went to college and got his bachelors degree and said he regretted it.I was like "why did he regret it? Sometimes I can not understand their line of reasoning and why college is so bad.

  If God exists.... which church does he attend?

  by cyberjesus in

  2. beliefs

  so we lost our religion and its time for us to decide which religion to switch, i was sincere so i wanted to do his will as i was taught.... so many here still believe in god and christianity.

  so my question for you is.

  what makes you think that christianity is the true religion?

  I agree BluesBrother. When I was a kid in the 90's the assemblies were fun because at that time everything from a child's perspective is simple.only when you get older do you realize that it was not as fun as it seemed.

  Does anybody else feel relieved that they won't be tortured during the great tribulation?

  by doublelife in

  2. friends

  i grew up hearing about different ways people have been tortured in the past and was always scared of going through that during the gt.

  it was always an unhealthy obsession of mine.

  i always thought that i was more worried about it than other jws and that i would end up renouncing my faith to get out of it.

  I remeber being told that God would rain fire on the wicked.I was like.I see these crazy ramblings as just pure insanity.If the end comes it is simple, you just don't survive.Why survive and live eternity with the Jehovah Witness.Now that is never ending tribulation.
