  I was out for over 20+ years before I figured it out.. I became an atheist.. but still maintained if? then the WT would be the one...

  It was terrifing to examine at first, but my desire for the truth won out.. and I had to know.. Final reasoning was if it's the truth it will hold up to anything...

  It didn't hold up to squat...

  It was traumatic at first too...

  Books that make you go hmm....

  by jgnat in

  1. jw

  it's occurred to me that i have been reshaped by the books i have read, taking my new knowledge for granted, and forgetting that those around me have not been on the same journey.

  as a consequence sparks fly, as iron sharpening iron, as we strive to understand each other (or to insist that we are not the same).

  there are a few books that stand out, as i refer to them over and over again.

  I spoke up today

  by hoser in

  the fire was burning within me to say something so i mustered up the courage and did it.. .

  we were for lunch after the meeting sitting at the same table as a pioneer sister, her unbaptized publisher bible study, and the bible study's teenage son.

  the pioneer was telling the unbaptised publisher about how no one from sodom and gomorrah would get a resurrection because they were killed directly by god's judgment.. this is where i had heard enough.

  i've never heard a more appropriate ted talk for jw's to take to heart than this one.

  "most of us will do anything to avoid being wrong.

  but what if we're wrong about that?

  wow!... I don't know maybe I'm wrong...

  excellent .. not just jws, everyone on this board should watch this.. I think of how I often wonder what I believe right now, that in the future I will not see the same, and wonder how I ever believed that ..something to look forward too..

  I'll have to wait and SEE!
