  JW's from "The World" have a easier time going "Back Out Into The World"?

  we all know how hard it is, usually, for those rasied in the truth to readjust "outside in the world" once they leave ... so not to undermine them (esp.

  for those who came in later in life - regardless of how many times from the podium you were instructed not to "leave the love you had at first" many of you are here because you found out the "truth about the truth" whether it was the people or doctrine or combination ... and were willing to open your mind, realize the "truth about the truth" and leave.

  not to undermine all those years and mind numbing propaganda you endured in the jw's, but i have always felt: .

  You might want to check out "Biblical Unitarian" I have found their understanding of the Bible to be much aligned to what I have learned of the Bible during my "Watchtower" experience. I remain and will always remain a Witness of Jehovah, but I have stopped from following the "Watchtower". Their actions have brought much reproach to our Heavenly Father's Divine name. I have found that there are many moral people who have never read or heard about the "Watchtower". Had I been raised in United States I could never have been a "JW of the Watchtower". My 30 yrs amongst them, here in the US, as a MS as well as being an "Elder" has exposed me to the egregious hypocrisy prevalent within the "management/control" of the Watchtower movement. Rank and file WT people however are fine and I do feel sorry that they have had the wool pulled over them.

  To honestly.

  While I do not agree with everything the "Watchtower" spew out. I give them credit to preserve the Divine Name, which even the Trinitarians admit to it but will not use it - even deleting it from its rightful place in the Bible - but substituting it with a very poor substitute "LORD". In some translations even that has been diluted to a mere "Lord".

  If Trinitarian are honest, they should let the scriptures speak for itself and not let their bias CHANGE the Divine name. Psalms 110:1 is a good case for embarassing them if the Trinatarians translate it correctly without BIAS. There it definetly indicates YaHoWah is speaking to King David's "lord" - note with a "small ell". Jesus claims himself to be only that "lord" and not the mistranslated "LORD". He, Jesus was asked to sit at the right hand of "YaHoWaH"

  There are many more I can say, but if one reads the Bible without any preconcieved ideas, the subordination of our mediator and redeemer Jesus Christ to His God is clear as a bell. Jesus worships God. God does not worship Jesus. Simple !!!

  So honesty if you are truly honest please ask the Bible translators to honestly translate the Bible the way the original Hebrew Scriptures were written and not make lame, flaccid excuses why the Divine Name should be deleted from the scriptures. If they must delete God's name and if Jesus is God by all accounts of the Trinatarians, then the shoul be consistent and delete the name Jesus. By retaining the name Jesus would be a left-handedway of admitting that Jesus is not God or at the leasr that Jesus is not God's Name.

  Is tolerance and acceptance to be practiced only after one has achieved its illegitimate goals through dastard deeds? Consider the forceful and devious acquisition of indigenous people's homeland ( Where was tolerance then? Was it not but boldface banditry? What about the bringing of "Light" to Hawaiian ( ) ? It certainly made the Natives lighter after most if not all of their resources were alighted by the immediate descendants of the "Light-bearers" and the native lores, customs and culture were "torched" to bring them into "light". Where was acceptance and fairplay then? What of the coveting of oil rich countries and "banana republics"? Was it really to introduce "democracy and equality" there? I could imagine the "god disdaining heathen" Mark Twain with a note pad in hand having a field trip today!!! as he criss-crosses the continents noting the "acceptance and tolerance and fairplay" displayed by the insatiable bloated-belly "first world" nations that have acquisitioned pretty much most of the world's resources through "legal corporate inquisition" of the inhabitants of "third world". Don't forget "first world" nations are "Christian" Nations. Or is it? How Christian can it be when as they profess to be worshiping the prince of peace are executing preemptive strikes? Their Lord was not only tolerant and accepting but went further to admonish "whoever strikes you on the right cheek turn the other also to him". Is it possible for a Hindu Gandhi to be more Christian than those intolerant non-accepting Christians claimants of the Falwell- Robertson’s ilk?.
