I'm going with the selective quoting, as well. Then, 5 years down the road, when some JW has read actual information about the documents, they'll do a quick QFR about the cross portion. By then, virtually all JW's will have forgotten about the whole issue.

Lead Books: Lose Cross, Run With Yahweh?
by metatron inif these lead books prove to be genuine, they may present the 'bernie madoff' governing body of jehovah's witnesses with a dilemma:.
should they highlight them because they may mention 'yahweh' in a christian context or reject them because jesus didn't die on a stake?.
if they are smart ( and who knows, given their ignorant, biased frame of mind), they might run with the 'yahweh' stuff.

I'm sure it's some variant of "earn it" status.. eg, you have to be married in the church in the special undies, your husband must be an elder, and you must have completed your 2 year "mandatory" mission (it's not mandatory, but it is if you want to have any respect in the church).

State your "epiphany moment " for leaving the WT
by caliber ini have found some powerful reinforcements when people have stated their " epiphany moment "... please share some.. my turning pointing began when i was badly hurt by a person i had always viewed as a literal brother.
i realized that if his.
love was conditional.... if it was the case with him , then how about those i had less affection for and trust in ?.

It's somewhat hard to say. I was seriously depressed and decided to go on a trip. All that time alone gave me time to think about most things WTS-related. At this point, I wasn't even looking @ 'apostate' websites or anything of that 'sort,' so it my was own brain working at this point. I went to the summer convention, and after that, completely disappeared from the congregation. I didn't see anyone or talk to anyone in the congregation for 3 entire months. No one called or visited. One day, when praying in tears, I realized that there was no one on the other 'end' of the call, so to speak. That was the start of reading lots of information about religion and God in general etc..

Hi, new to this forum. Figured I'd let everyone know about my story before I got involved.
by JonathanH inif you just want the juicy details where i leave, i'll make disclaimer where it begins, if you just want to know what happened with the elders and organization after i realized it wasn't true, i'll mark that seperately.
we didn't do jack shit in service, or in the congregation.
maybe this was how jehovah came about?
