Facts that are borne out of history that reveals real truth to the few.....
by Me Myself and I inwe are all here i guess because we were once searching for the truth, the real meaning of life, the purpose of life, or whatever craving deep inside of us that needed answers.
we are special, as not all have this inner searching or desire to know or have this need.. we thought the jws were the answer, and myself included carried on for ten full years until the cracks became big enough to fall through and leave the organisation.
however a full six years have elapsed since setting foot in a kingdom hall, yet the craving and spiritual need is still there.. the thirst for answers, and by goodness doesnt the internet connect humankind in such a way that we have access now in this point of human history to the biggest wealth of information and knowledge that could ever be possible.. i have been watching today, with at times, open mouth, to see connections based on true documentations, tv footage etc, of real time events in modern history on youtube, things i have been so ignorant about.

does the gb really believe or is this a game ?
by mP inim assuming we all realise the gb may be many things but the individuals are not fools.
given the changes in ideas, formulation of new light and so on, do they buy the fascade they are presenting ?
if theres anyone in there, surely they as men, know how very man made it has always been.

Iran vs Israel and the USA = WW III (Should we be worried?)
by Me Myself and I inthis particular bowl of soup has been bubbling for some time now, with various posturing and toing and froing.
looking at the media and the subsequent comments from israel regarding iran, it looks clear that something is going to happen soon, very soon..... with iran having the ears of both china and russia, israel having the us and of course we (uk) as the states poodle on the other side.
i wonder if this could be the beginning of the end?.

The Last Days and the Bible's Responsibility to Prove Itself
by freshcrepes inaccording to the watchtower's interpretation of the bible, we live in a time of unprecedented importance.
the current system is likely to end in our lifetime, and as the end draws closer the need to for the world to accept the bible becomes more urgent.. we are also in a unique time in that billions of people have the risk of eternal destruction upon death.
as i understand it, the billions who have and will die before armageddon will get an 'auto-resurrection' after armageddon (save a few in god's bad books) but those who die at armageddon are gone forever.

Revolution or Rebellion....Knowledge as long as its correct is POWER
by Me Myself and I ini thought i would throw out my thoughts, it only an idea and as i am humble enough to understand that sometimes what seems a good idea isnt after more heads chew over the concept.. the idea came from another visit from my local cong doing the rounds.
i struck up conversation with this servant who is quite agreeable after discussing the reasons for leaving "the truth" i mentioned aspects of the crisis of conscience that i had read but had never known the gravity of some of the actions taken by the gb.
rather than running off down the road and screaming "apostate" he actually agreed and most noticeably....from the visual cues....the grey matter was certainly working behind the fog of the preprogrammed stuff.

Annual Visit
by Quendi inthis is a question for those who have either been disfellowshipped or disassociated themselves.
i was disfellowshipped in september 2005 and have no intention of returning.
what i want to ask the rest of you is, did you ever get that yearly visit from the elders to see if you wanted to return to the organization or just how you were doing?

Disassociation...is it to much hassle? Please advise as need help. Thanks
by Me Myself and I inhi guys,.
thank you for the warm welcome to the forum boards after years of just looking and reading.. i have been impressed by the many comments that have followed the introduction of dontplaceliterature and the balanced, humourus and individual views of the brothers and sisters (we are all human beings so as far as i am concerned no matter what religious persuasion we are all one family!
) that have replied with both candid and honest and often heartfelt comments.. i have started a topic and will give the reason for asking first, so anyone can skip the "getting to know me" bit.. i am currently wondering as a baptised member of the org, who hasnt attended either meetings or memorial in the last 4 years.

Introduction
by dontplaceliterature inbefore i begin my introductory post, i would like to mention that a number of my initial comments here may be viewed by several of you as watchtower apologist or as sympathetic to the views of the jehovahs witnesses.
the last thing i want to do is incite a flame war regarding my legitimacy or intentions in joining this forum.
mostly, i would describe myself as on the fence.
