And if you believe the JW aren't right why not just talk to you're family privately about it. Then let them decide. Win win no disfellowship and you got to tell you're view to whoever you wanted to.

by A Believer inyou guys do know that if you just leave and never go back you wont be disfellowshiped right?
i know people who have done exactly this.
you have to commit a sin and you or someone else has to tell a elder.

Krismalone Terrible analogy. The org wants justice done to molesters. Don't judge off a couple of peoples actions the entire org. The failed prophecie that was a unfortunate error, but the org doesn't hide it said that. They mentioned it at an assembly a couple years back. The donation fund isn't a lie, no one has to give money if they don't want to.
Idk anything about the letters you speak of. But I know their is something about it on JWfacts. A lot of that stuff on that site isn't true, and you shouldn't judge the org as it is today on the past.

Anony You know the Bible says the world will get a little better before the Tribulation right? Just turn on news and you will the world isn't a peaceful place.
3 Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them,+just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape.

Why Finding the One True Religion is Impossible
by Simon injws like to think they have found the one true religion.
but like so many other religious people, it's usually the religion they were born into, the only religion they know because it's the first one they found or, at the most, one of two or three (typically the second one after they left their first / born-in faith).. the trouble is, there simply isn't enough time to explore and investigate each and everyone of the many thousands of belief systems, religions and sects around the world.. think of it this way: which is the best neighbourhood to live in where you would be most happy and most successful?
not just in the city or even the country you are in, but the entire world.. how would you ever know?

What prophecy are you referring to? All have came true or will in the near future. -

Atleast you didn't say I was lieing Tepid.
It's most likely those who have been shunned sinned or did some kind of terrible act of disrespect to members in their KH so it was warranted.

The majority of active witnesses I know are just "social witnesses". The type that are actually into the doctrine are a dying breed.
Couldn't be more wrong. 90% of our religion believes in God.

I have researched other religions beliefs, and the JW makes the most sense to me.
