apologies if this has been discussed before, or is in the wrong forum, but i could really do with some advice.
two years ago i met the love of my life; someone i regard as my soulmate.
he is an active jw and i am a practising church of england person.
DO not go into the study with an open mind! You will be converted then when you find new facts or the light changes. You can never leave and If you do leave and have children he will do every thing to make them part of the group and to never have any thing to do with you. Coming from some one finally getting his family out after several years of suffering. You are only setting your self up for greef.

so let's say armageddon comes,do you believe that all jw's would be destroyed because jehovah knows it's a false religion...it can't be denied,for the most part,they try to live by the bible...if anybody has to be punished i would say it's the leaders...i know that god wouldn't judge a whole organization but persons individually....so what i'm trying to ask is....do you think you're in a better position right now not for freedom but for salvation than the witnesses??
if by the time you're finished reading this post armageddon is here...would u wish that you still were a witness or are you satisfied that you've made god proud?.
Mathew24:11-16 , Daniel 11:31-33 My take is when you see religious leaders that are no longer following the truth that Jesus said you should get out.

through the years i and many of my companions have seen quite a few things done by devils that are not specifically mentioned in the.
bible including things similar to this:.
i received an im from some unknown source telling me that a crystal ball was going to be delivered in our church building.
Sounds a lot like the movie Heavy Metal but I thougt the sphere was green.

if there is no god (however defined), do humans have more intrinsic value than animals?
feel free to offer brief or complex responses.
Well their is good and bad bacteria. The bad could take you out pretty quick so who is God? bacteria

Maybe the animals are more important God did create them first.

these quotes and excerpts i'm going to post here come from the " jehovah's witnesses - office of public information " from their website as it was posted on 12/2/07.
my wife and i have a lurking witness friend who sent us this information as she is very pro-active trying to fight child abuse from within the organization itself !
so get your barf bags ready- you are going to need them to stomach this " official policy " garbage from the wt society.
" Our procedures have been refined over time. Over the years, as we have noted areas where our policies could be strengthened , we have followed through. We are continuing to refine them. We do not believe that our system is perfect.No human organization is perfect. But we do believe that we have a strong, Bible-based policy on child abuse. Anyone in a responsible position who is guilty of child abuse would be removed from his responsibilities without hesitation. We certainly would not knowingly allow him to serve elsewhere , either because he moved or through a transfer. "
This is the last paragraph. I put in bold this part to bring out no human organization is perfect. They are directed buy holy spirit so that statement is not an excuse.
