  i still believe in god.

  still believe his name is jehovah or something like it.. still believe that jesus is his son, and he isn't god almighty.. don't believe in the trinity.

  i believe in the resurrection.

  In my humble opinion, to be a real Christian all you have to do is follow Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. I believe the "truth" is just that simple. The GB have complicated things way too much! John 8:32 says the "truth will set you free". Why is it that instead of feeling free one feels trapped into following countless rules and regulations most of which have no clear scriptual backing, i.e. 5 meetings a week, pioneering, shunning disassociated ones just because they don't want to be JW's anymore, NOT because they have broken any Biblical law, and countless other pseudo rules.

  Just to clarify, Fred Franz was not the President in 1975, Nathan Knorr was the president. I believe Knorr died in 1977 from brain cancer.

  Is the WTS changing positions on the croos vs. stake?

  by whyizit in

  2. friends

  my husband was listening to a radio station the other day and said there was news that the wts has decided that jesus dying on a cross rather than a stake may not be as far-fetched as they once thought.. have any of you heard this?

  i have been cruising the threads to see if there was already one on this subject.

  if there is, point me to it!

  The new Bible Teach book still makes an issue out of Christ dying on a stake (tree) NOT a cross.

  Deadpoet:

  I remember the old Youth book (red in color) that stated the thought about masturbation leading to homosexuality. What utter rubbish!! Statistically 98% of men masturbate, how is it that only 10% are homosexual? The sad thing is that too many JWs believe everything they read in the literature.

  he's a good friend of mine who will have plenty to add here.

  (he's written volumes on the dubs) having recently attained some much needed freedom he was able to join the forum.. he may be a little hesitant to come forth at first, but with a little coaxing...he's got a good "coming out of the org.

  " story and lots of insight!.

  Hershey chocolate bars were 10 cents!

  Gasoline was 49 cents a gallon!

  My parents bought a 3 bedroom bi level house for $58,000 in 1977, today it would sell for $450,000
