I mean, when I read something of the WatchTower, I still have sometime this old fear of Armaggeddon. I don't know why I have this fear since I found a lot of proofs that they aren't the true religion. Sometime, I would like to erase all these bad things that me and my family had in the jw and begin again but unfortunately, it's impossible. Satan really try a lot of things to bring me back on the WatchTower he he. At least, I'm lucky to be only 18 years old, so I didn't wasted to much years in this org.

Because of all the strange theories that I heard while I was a young men in the jw, I won't believe your theory if you don't have a good proof of it. So, can you give me a proof of it? If Armageddon will be in only 1000 years then, the humans will have to endure a lot of things (like the New World Order...). I don't want to be too much negative but almost everywhwere we look in the world, there's a lot of corruption and the WatchTower is a part of it.

Someone has ever tried to get a person out?
by Nicolas indo you have some site to help me?
i thing it should be really hard to do this because they are mind-controlled.
i mean, even if you bring them logical argument, they won't believe you or the doubt that you have introduced in their mind will dissapear at their next meeting.

Self-righteousness
by Vitameatavegamin ini am brand new here.

Welcome to the board. It seem that almost every experiences that we have in the WatchTower are the same. You are a good jw until for some reason, you have to go less often at the meeting. There's a lot of hypocrisy in almost every cong. Finally, I hope that the real god will help you to go out of this evil organisation. I wish the best for you.

Why not make a website and put your experience in this website? The Internet is the worst ennemy of the WatchTower because they can't control it. Also, when you want to contact someone by phone, you should use a public phone so no one will hear you. If you know someone who have some knowledge in computer, you should ask him to help you to build your website. Also, I suggest you to stay anonymous in your website because they are playing very well their silly little game.

fallen angels
by largo ini was really bored when i found this forum.
i didn't think it that a community of witnesses chatted and carried disscussions on the internet.
how refreshing i though!

And for largo: did you remember that god finally abandonned the israelite when he saw that they were corrupted? He forgave them very often but when he saw it was impossible to recover them, he abandonned them.

What else to say? Almost everything has been said. In almost every sect, you have the same kind of brainwashing but when you are in the organisation, you can't see it because it would be consider as a lack of faith. It's easy to proof that the Watch Tower are false prophets and why should they be the only one true religion? Because they are the only one who preach all around the world? In fact, they are not alone, the Mormon do it to and they are about 10 millions peoples all around the world. I read some interesting article that proove that there's a link between the Illuminaties (a secret society) and the Watch Tower Bible & Track Society. In my opinion, that's why you can see certain ressemblance between the New World Order (a conspiracy to bring a world government) and the doctrin of the jw.

I'm glad to see that you didn't have too many problems with the org, when you goes out. By the way, I heard a lot of things about the book of Raymond Franz, I thing I'll buy it me too.

Here is my story
by Nicolas ini saw that many person were posting their experience in the jw so i decided to do the same.
my parents entered in this religion when i was about 3 years old so i grew up as a jw and i couln't participate in the activities, at my school.
i saw a topic about a giant conspiracy made by the jw and i do believe it can be true because we had this kind of strange experience when my mothers were sick.

The worst things you can imagine as an ex-jw, I think is to being shun by your family. This is exactly what happen with my 2 sisters who are still in this religion. They seem to use this tactic as a way to try to get me back but it had the opposite effect because I were really shock to see their comportment and I thing that a if it was the religion of god, they wouldn't do it. However, I hope that someday, my sisters will see that they were wrong.

My parents entered in this religion when I was about 3 years old so I grew up as a jw and I couln't participate in the activities, at my school. I saw a topic about a giant conspiracy made by the jw and I do believe it can be true because we had this kind of strange experience when my mothers were sick. At the beginning, she was just a little too tired but it started to get worst and my mother had to go to the hospital and she fell in coma. Then my father were ready to do anything to save his wife and someone told him that a sister (that's how they call the women, in this religion) who practice reflexology in Montreal would be able to do something with my mother. So he decided to go in Montreal but it cost him a lot of money and it has no result on the health of my mother. So, he called another person (she wasn't a jw) who was selling natural products and we did see a great result. After that, my mother decided to go out of this religion but my father were still in the organisation so it brought a lot of quarrel in the house. Later, my father were searching documentation, he wanted to know if there has been a falsification in the medical file of my mother. Because of the lack of job, we decided to move in another region and then my father finally goes out of this religion. Unfornately, he died in 1998 in an accident, at work and I have 2 sisters who are still in the organisation and you surely know what happen when someone is shunned... Sorry for my bad english and mayby I forgot some parts of the story because when it happened, I was too young to understand.
