  can of worms -ranting

  by so confused in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the more i'm reading and thinking about what i have previously learned it just opens a whold new can of worms.. my husband and i have been reading/comparing the nwt, diaglot, reference bible, etc.

  and i saw where the society added words, changed meaning, even added an entire sentence without ().

  i have seen where they have emphasized sayings in the watchtower that are not in the bible like "paradise earth".

  Hi So confused. I'm still an active JW (born in) but seen so many falsehoods over the years. It all came to head for me a few months ago. I read Ray Franz's two books and everything fell into place. It was very difficult to take in but I'm taking things slowly. Don't feel you have to rush it. Learn all you can. As for your sister, you could add her to FB if you make friend lists and keep her separate and make your friend list invisible. Only mutual friends will see each other. Or you could just send her a message. I'm sure you could find a way. Cutting off family members from each other is one of the cruelest things done IMO. Keeping the congregation clean is one thing, tearing families apart is another.

  www.jwfacts.com is a good website for info. www.jwstruggle.com is a good website for doubting JWs who need support. All the best. :)

  Why do you keep talking about God like that when you don't believe he exists? You are contradicting yourselves..

  Maybe you should see things from the tetse fly's point of view.. I'm sure he's quite happy with things..

  Emblem stupidity, and the bizarre dance of the confused memorial-taker

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i went along to the memorial with mrs cedars.

  it was my first since my "awakening" just less than a year ago.

  apparently i made a lot of people happy by being there (even if it was only building up false hopes), the most important of which were my family.

  Undercover: Did you bother to pay attention to the talk? Any different than years past? (I'd like to see someone do a count on how many times they say "Jesus" vs "anointed" or "144,000")

  Did they mention the number of partakers from last year?

  The 144,000 barely got a mention and yes to the numbers.. but too much said about Paradise and the 'other sheep
