if you are wondering, that is the book where the wts talks about how much they loved the nazis and what their goals were.. hitler got everything out of the wts that he wanted and then turned on them... hence all of the concentration camp stories you hear jehover witnesses crying about.. why would hitler do this?

i don't know... ask stalin... hitler did it to him and russia too!.

someone posted a bid greater than mine in the last five seconds which prevented me from making a counter bid.

the jw's aren't alone in their self-centered attitude toward charity.

let's hear it for the charity of islam (thanks to larry bernard's heads-up research).

religion of charity.

My question is do all muslims believe like this, very literally? Or is there a strict fundamentalist-all-the-way-to-liberal wide variety of muslims as there is with Christians?

I try to be open minded...that site is a bit scary, tho.

Family: The Man is the head of the Family, He must provide for his Family and care for it as Jesus cared for the congregation. The Woman is subject to the man and has to look after the house and help teach the kids, and the children are to Obey their parents.

I am not worshipping Jehovah to gain everlasting life in paradise i am worshiping him because he deserves it. I have done things worse than many other here would ever do so i don't expect to survive Armageddon but if God gives me that gift that great! but if he dosent i don't blame him!.

Ok.....now this is the heart of the matter. Guilt.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."--John 1:9

Just ask God to forgive you and to help you change. And He WILL. God is love, he forgives and we don't deserve it. But He does anyway. The only tricky part is you have to forgive yourself.

According to the Bible, you don't have to sell your soul to a book publishing corporation to recieve forgivness, to be good person, and to move on.

Peace,

Boy, do I know how you feel. I have been there. I can't tell you what you should do, but I can tell you what I did. I was so worried about hurting my parents by leaving the JWs.....

I quietly stayed and didn't rock the boat until I was about 17. Then, I gently tried to tell my mom I didn't want to be a JW...she didn't really hear me...she just thought I was going though a phase, etc.

I was hoping maybe they would let me choose to not be a JW, but it was not to be. As long as I was living in their home, I had to got to all the meetings, the whole deal, 100%. Then I did some big boat-rocking around that time, pointing out every thing wrong with the JWs I saw, telling mom and dad how I really felt, but eventually I decided to just calm down again and keep my mouth shut (for the most part) untill I turned 18. It was hurting my mom too much...I didn't want to fight with her for a year or more over something I had already decided. Also, I had no place to go if I left home at that young age, and really I was not ready to leave the nest.

Once I turned 18 and had a plan, a job and a place to live, I quietly told my Mom and Dad that I was moving out, because I didn't want to be a JW any more. I told them I didn't believe it and I didn't want to live a lie the rest of my life. I really did my best to try to spare my parents feelings. It was heart-breaking, and difficult. I couldn't stay in a lie just because my mom believed it.

I really love my parents, even though they raised me JW. And I know and knew they love me. I didn't want to hurt them. And I didn't want to loose them! But I had to choose how MY life was going to go based on what was best for me.

I was lucky. They did not shun me. Years later, my mom is out of the JWs now, but my dad is still in. My brother is out, but my sister is still in.

One important thing I have to say is that if you are not baptised yet, DON'T. Put it off any way you can.

take care and keep posting,
