  Wow, you are really putting your heart and soul into this. Thanks for sharing with us in such detail.

  I was baptised in 1971 and yes, we were all telling our Bible studies that 1975 was going to be the end.

  Do not believe anyone who denies it. There are those of us who were there and very actice and believe the whole big false prophecy at the time.

  Welcome and don't worry. You are young and can build a new life for yourself. These people who shun you love the cult life and there is nothing you can do for them. You can go out and live a happy life and show them that the Watchtower is wrong when they say that those who leave fall into a life of debauchory.

  Keep in touch.

  My sister and I, along with a few close family members and a friend all left three years ago. Nothing, absolutely nothing horrible has happened that the Society had warned us about. We are all happy to be out and none of us desire to return. we do agreewho wished we had left sooner, much sooner.

  I am fortunate that my only child and her spouse do not shun me. (Guess they have a bit of apostate in them, too!)

  THREE BASICS of Jehovah-dumb

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  keep this one fact in mind about jehovah's witnesses.

  they exist in three dumb categories throughout their history.. 1. honest bible students attracted to the gimmicks of russell (charts, graphs, chronologies, pyramid inches, etc.

  ) expected the end of the world to come and they wanted to know more.. 2.contrarian hard heads under rutherford wanted to prove everybody was wrong about everything except themselves.

  Elijehovah: Is English a second language for you? Your posts sound so sincere but dont make a lot of sense. Please let us know more about you. We are all friends here. No details so that anyone can identify you, but just a general summary of who you are would be appreciated.

  Third from the top

  2. current

  not being a very technical sort of person, i don't know what it is that makes the "results" from a web search change from day to day, but i have noticed this site sometimes on the first ten "results" and another time very close to the first "results.".

  today it is the third result offered on my google search.

  first is the official jw website.

  The Wikipedia web page about Charles Taze Russell was a starting point for me. Follow the suggested links and you can find all the information you need to decide for yourself that the Watchtower Society cannot possibly be what they claim to be.

  The Skeptics Annotated Bible is online at www.skepticsannotatedbible.com.

  You could do your Bible reading using this version in advance and prepare using this as a jumping off place.

  Also, in the Bible Story book, the account about Jeptha's daughter, she was actually burned to death as unmistakably stated in the Bible but the Watchtower says not so.

  Lot's wife being turned into a pilar of salt while Lot is allowed to F**k his both daughters while drunk. He also offered to let the crowd rape his daughters. The angels could have protected themselves, the daughters could not have.

  What kind of justice system requires someone innocent to die (Jesus Christ) to appease the court over someone elses failing (Adam & Eve).

  Use stuff like this. Act full of amazement as you ask innocently "how this could be right?"
