  Show me something better

  terry started a really good thread a little while ago.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/258731/1/where-did-pastor-russell-get-his-truth.

  it reminded me of what the jw who studied with me and brought me into the truth said.. she said show me something better.

  she qualified this by saying show me another religion that teaches the basics.. i changed subject but i suppose basics are.

  Atheism is much better, in my humble opinion than beging a JW. I am stress free.

  Are you thankful to know TTAT or not?

  by laverite in

  i am so thankful that i was able to learn the truth about the truthtm (ttatt).

  i owe everything in my life to having left watchtower corp: my education, my position as a college professor, being able to write and publish, travel, family life, my beautiful children, being able to be openly gay -- and happy.

  unlike those closeted homosexuals in the truthtm, i do not have to be afraid to be who i am.

  Yes, after getting over the initial feeling of shock and betrayal, I am happier than ever after learning the truth about the truth.

  Every so often I receive a very uncomplimentary email thru my website from a JW. Want to read it?

  by AndersonsInfo in

  their email address is: xxxxx.

  and their message is:.

  you probably would say, 'i didn't abandon him, i can still serve him on my own.

  This letter is infuriating. It upsets me so. If self righteousness was a disfellowshipping offense, there wouldn't be a Witness in good standing to hold the meetings.

  Great comeback, Terry.

  Where did Pastor Russell get his TRUTH?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most jehovah's witnesses are aware there once lived a man named russell and he had something to do with the early years of their religion.. but, generally, interest in the early days is almost non-existent.

  after all, nobody was running around calling themselves jehovah's witnesses, so what difference does any of that really make?.

  russell and the origins of jw doctrines are, as a result of this total black out of curiousity, hidden and permanently obscured.. in fact, the only time charles taze russell is discussed is because some expose' by an apostate has raised a stink.. admitedly, most anti-jw books seek to dredge up scandals, lawsuits, accusations and failed predictions swirling around russell's ministry.. in my own opinion, none of that is half as interesting as the missing part of the equation: where from did pastor russell get his truth?.

  there wouldn't have been any good way to hear the news i suppose.

  it's just so strange to recall the conversation yesterday.

  my "still in" parents are with me and my inactive sister having a pleasant conversation.

  Hi everyone !!!

  2. friends

  i am durden.. a teenager that is an unbaptized publisher and is trying to leave this damn cult !!!.

  i have been lurking here for some time and i decided to start posting with this intro.. im from europe, both my parents are jw's, my parents are both teachers (math teachers).. my parents are "softcore" jw's, they accept all my questions and try to answer them.. i am trying to "convert" my dad (an elder which might complicate things), me and my dad recently had various discussions about the org ("discussions" on the good sense of the word).. we talked about jehovah in the nt, 1975, 1914, gb in 1st century, the cross, "new lights" ..., you know the usual stuff.. and all is going well i think, i think i can "convert" him until the end of summer.. i mean is a logical man, what can go wrong ?

  man, when i found jwfacts it was like my world had collapsed, all thoses lies .... but its good now to have found the truth.

  The experience that changed my life

  by hijosdelawatch in

  2. experiences

  i have been lurking for a long time here and i think i'm prepared to speak about this experience openly.. .

  i was born in a jw family and i grew up as the average jehovah's witness does.

  even being very young, i helped with the territories and other work in the congregation.

  i've recently been given permission by a friend who works at abc news to give his email address to any of you who have either served on jc cases or victims who were involved with jc's.

  i gave him my story over the phone.
