Typical/Antitypical is the very thing that woke me up. GB said we don't believe that anymore with one stroke of the pen. I was ANGRY. Think of the years worth of meetings we have gone to and that is all we studied! They were making it all up as they go.
Well then what about Daniel 4 that they base 1914 on? That is Typical/Antitypical, so 1914 must not be true. That was my reasoning. Looked it up, sure enough, not true, and I am out after 43 years of wasting time. Makes me mad.
i don't mean for anyone to get into argument over this, i just want to hear what people believe.i hope that no one will mock or argue with someone else about their beliefs, i know that i won't in this topic.. i still believe in a christian god, not what jws believe, but believe that there has to be something after this life.
i am not sure about how armageddon would go, would it be like how evangelicals believe with a rapture or timing or anything, though i still believe in a form of armageddon.
i do think that all good people will go to heaven but i don't believe in a hell.
Hi John, I wanted to thank you for posting the court cases on this sight. I am always curious what is going on. I can't say that I always understand them, but I appreciate your posts.
I believe in God. I cannot become an atheist. I work in my yard all the time and you cannot convince me a marvelous creator was not involved. It is amazing to watch bamboo grow, roses, hibiscus, etc. Is God's name Jehovah? I really don't know. I have to believe that there is more to life and there is something that we humans cannot understand if God tried to explain it to us.
I have been studying the trinity, immortality of the soul, hellfire, proof that Jesus was real.... I need to know. I am shocked to find out how inaccurate the New World translation is and that is a big part of the problem as scriptures we have burned in our brain are not correct. Anyway, I am searching, researching and must find an answer. At the same time, scared to death because I do not want to be fooled again.
I left 6 months ago. I told my husband just last week I feel lost like I have an empty hole to fill. Thanks for your question. It is good to know others feel the same way.
how many jdubs are going out in service anyway because "they have to get their time in.
" that's some "best life ever!
" you guys got going on!
I woke up this morning and thought - thank goodness I don't have to go in field service today!
i was a window cleaner, i was at the time unemployed, homeless.
i had no education to be proud of (high school one a two b's rest c's) i was a jehovahs witness.
i had been a pioneer.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am so happy for you. Witness kids that do not wake up are going to struggle their whole life. I spoke with a couple young brothers in service not long ago and asked them how they would ever be able to support a family. They were out of high school, pioneering and waiting for Armageddon, living at home. What a shame. I was not fully awake and still felt bad for them. Thanks again
hello, i've been lurking for quite some time here on this forum, reading a whole lot and i've finally made the courage to create an account as a form of escape and in hopes to be understood and not feel "mentally diseased".
little background on me, i am a born in but i consider myself a pimo (physically in mentally out).
i feel like i've always had doubts but these doubts would sink with the meetings and the assemblies and every other little thing that drowns any doubts a witness may have.
Hi Jules, it is a strange feeling to wake up, everyone here understands. I woke up in February of this year. It gets better every day. I woke up this morning and thought no field service today! I was so happy to spend a Saturday at home. What is funny they are the ones mentally diseased! Welcome!
in his video he mentions an elders letter sent to germany in 07 , i believe.
in this letter if i'm understanding it correctly the elders are being instructed to send most of any information on hand about child abuse in their congregation to headquarters and any thing else they have at home or in their personal possession to destroy it.
this seams to be the most obvious case of wt telling their elders to destroy information.
Kim and Mickey did a video on this subject called, Do Old Elders Letters Really Matter. They have a copy of the letter. Here is the link. It seems like the ARC and Zalkin need this letter.
so as of july 2nd my wife delivered by c-section our little one pound, three ounce daughter izabella.
it was a very scary night that started with a decel and turned into multiple decels that greatly concerned the doctors.
by early morning they felt the need to take her for her safety.
Thanks for sharing with us. Wishing the best for you and your family. Keep us up to date.

It shows President Trump wants to make deep cuts to the UN. I am not saying it will happen, but I can't stop giggling about how funny that would be if they shut down the UN. Then what would JW's do? Overlapping UNs?
absolutely thrilled to give you the news that my younger brother, a zealous full-time pioneer has left the witnesses!!.
i haven't seen or spoke to him in a year.
i'd lost all contact with him, no facebook, no mobile number, i didn't even know his address because he'd moved house.
That is such good news! I am happy for both of you.
some congregations were known as liberal and others were considered very conservative.
back in the 1970s a nearby congregation made all speakers who gave public talks a white shirt to wear.
if a speaker came in wearing anything but white they were brought into the library and were given a white shirt!
The CO said we could not go and see Beauty and the Beast. That is about beastiality!
