I finally told my parents
by nolongerconfused inso as some of you already may know, i have stopped going to meetings for good and have nothing to do with wbts anymore...did not write a letter of disassociation because i dont believe an organization should spiritually execute me for rejecting men's tradition and false doctrine...some of you may recall i spoke to my wife and are in good terms, even though she's still an active jw.
my parents are both active jw's...when i visited them yesterday, they clearly did not expect me to tell them i had left the "org"...to my huge surprise, after i explained to them i had found ttatt (truth about the truth) and gave compelling evidence of my reasoning, and using the scriptures, they totally sided with me...i was dumbfounded...one of my parents even brought up ray franz and his book coc....i was like wtf??.
they told me all of these years they never had the guts to say anything about the hypocrisy in this org and they were glad that i as their son was able to step up and believe what is right and what is on the bible...they re-assured their love to me and they were happy i had found happiness in jesus christ and the need to have a personal relationship with him and not through a man made organization.... i totally did not expect this response from my parents...but it just leaves me to think that there are thousands of active jw's out there feeling the same way and don't have the courage to step up to the org...still don't know what they are going to do, but i got the feeling they will do the same eventually and move on from the wbts.... have a great week everyone.

Hi Lurker,
a warm welcome from Germany!
I like your reasoning. In the Paradise the JW imagine, there is only one sort of crime left: Thought crime. And there is only one who can detect it: God. And only one who will judge: God. And only one who will execute the sentence: God.
The perfect world would be a perfect dictatorship.

Imagine if the GB called you in for questioning
by nolongerconfused inwhat would you tell or ask these group of men if they called you in for a meeting?.

If they would call me in, I wouldn't go. I don't want to talk to a bunch of dumbheads.
To the leading guys of my childhood and youth (Knorr, Franz, Henschel, Jaraz) I would like to talk. But they already fled to heaven...

We've had a heated debate going on in Germany about circumcision last year. A regional court held that circumcision of boys is battery.
That caused an outcry from the jewish and also the muslim communities. Even the christian denominations closed the ranks with them.
It was interessesting to read all the pro and conts. To me it's obvious, that there is NO advantage, but al lot of risk regarding circumcision (if your stomac stands it, look at wikipedia about it).
As far as I remember was circumcision in the USA promoted by a guy named Kellog (The Cornflake Man). He said, that circumcision will keep the boys from masturbate.
