Hello

i am new to this site, just finding my way around.. i've been studying with jw's for about 15 months.

i'm an unbaptised publisher, and until recently never missed a meeting, have been out "on the service" quite a lot.

i've been having difficulties with one of the jw's studying with me and something happened which was just unacceptable.

What say you Christians ???
by wobble in

2. beliefs
it seems to me that most, if not all christians are really hung up on sin and redemption from sin and how naturally evil we all are.. my question, and observation is this : i had nothing to do with whatever you say adam and eve did wrong, i have always, throughout my life, treated whoever i came into contact with compassion, respect and love.. i have lived by the golden rule.. not many people, hand on heart, can say that, i can.. so, is your god going to judge me for the "sin" of some mythical forebears of mine ?

is he going to say that , because i did not believe in him, i willl be judged adversely, even though i lived by the precepts he is supposed to support ?.

all i can say is, if your god is like that, i refuse to worship or acknowledge him.. and i certainly do not want to get to know him.

I must say goodbye to you all......

the fine spiritual information that i recieved at the convention has made an impact on this bitter heart.

i came to realize that what i thought was logical was nothing more than my imperfect heart seeking to be rebellious.

i was so wrong!

i'm doing research for an article of writing on why jw's are clinging on to the religion regarless of the pain and dysfunction.

those of you that remember me know i have written on this subject for many years.

i have not written an article on this topic for over nine years and i wanted to create a relevant post based on the current dynamics and theology.

PROTESTS AT WATCHTOWER CONVENTIONS
by Lawrence Hughes in
1. jw
2. friends
dear friends,.

as you may know, the watchtower society takes great pride in its district conventions.

please contact me if you can attend any of these protests.. there is no reason why every district convention in the world could not have a protest and receive media coverage to expose the watchtower society.

i don't post a ton here because i'm kinda shy.

that's the amazon link (which is currently the most affordable, i believe, but it's also available for preorder at b&n, borders, indiebound, and indigo-chapters if you're in canada, if you prefer one of those retailers).. .
