  you may have heard someone say "if jehovah's witnesses don't have the truth, then there isn't any truth".

  in fact, some of you may have at one time been so convinced that you said that very statement yourselves.. now you sing a different tune.. the following question is directed towards those who have left the organization, yet still agree with their stand on major doctrines such as (no) trinity, (no) hellfire, and who at one time clearly saw (and maybe still do) the paganism mixed into the popular holidays...... do you believe that "there isn't any truth" now, or did you turn to somewhere else for spirtuality?.

  and if you have turned somewhere else, have you had to accept doctrines that you don't believe in at all, just so you could have somewhere to go (i.e.

  Scumrat,

  Such information only allows people to post off-topic and not answer the questions at hand.

  I have an interest in what people in this situation do. Many people highly educated in Theology, Early Christian History, Hebrew and Greek, and related fields will come to the same conclusions that the Watchtower does concerning the trinity, hellfire, and much more (and likewise, many do not come to those conclusions at all).

  However, for one reason or another, they will never become Jehovah's Witnesses themselves. And on the other side of the coin, there are those who were persuaded and/or convinced that the Watchtower had the correct view on such doctrines, yet for reasons that are their own, they have left the organization, though are still convinced of these teachings.

  Seeing what people have done since...

  A) There is no truth.

  B) Turn to another religion.

  ... will help me in dealing with certain individuals I know personally.

  Do you believe that "there isn't any truth" now, or did you turn to somewhere else for spirtuality?

  And if you have turned somewhere else, have you had to accept doctrines that you don't believe in at all, just so you could have somewhere to go (i.e. compromise)?

  You're honest reply will be most appreciated.

  (BTW, if you now believe in trinity and the like, please do not reply, since the question is not directed towards you. Arguments over doctrine is not the desired result for this thread)

  Thanx,
