  Still nothing from him but I just sent him this message...trying to prod him

  Don't ignore any doubts you may have. Follow them. It took me years to even consider following mine. I'm here for you if you ever want to talk.

  An interesting article on scientific explanations of near-death / out-of-body experiences

  by cedars in

  i've been doing quite a bit of research into books recently, and i've noticed that the book "proof of heaven" is selling very strongly at the moment.

  it's currently no.1 in the new york times bestseller list for nonfiction paperbacks.. the book is by a qualified neurosurgeon who converted to religious faith after going into a coma and having what he later described as an experience of heaven, which he elaborates on in great detail in the book.

  he argues that the experience must have been supernatural, because his cerebral cortex was "offline" for the duration of his vision.. .

  Bottom line: the afterlife is real and it would simply be best to get used to it.

  Also, people like to talk about themselves. So ask lots of questions.And if you drink... drink. It will loosen you up.

  Your earliest doubt?

  by Apognophos in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this might be an unfair question for those who have been out of the organization for decades, but i'm wondering if any of you remember your earliest doubt -- maybe something odd that occurred to you as a kid (if you were a jw then).

  please try to limit to two doubts at the most :-).

  i think my first "doubt" was simply realizing that at the time of the flood, every animal that wasn't in the ark died (well, besides the fish, supposedly).

  Yeah. I'm going to take it slow with him and feel him out. Like I'v said its hard to get a hold of him. As a resturant manager he's usually working 6 days a week and gets off long after I'v gone to bed. Before this year I would call and leave texts and be lucky if he responded to 20% of them. And now it may be harder but I wont give up.

  does a person's involvement in the jw religion usually fall into one of these 3 categories?.

  a) born in.

  b) convert.

  In '83 I was a born in because my mom studied and became a dub in 74. This she said is when they would let you walk up and get baptized. She fell for the '75 shit although to this day she swears people took 1975 "too seriously".... uh huh... and you didn't?

  i have been lurking on this forum for a few months and thought it was time i joined in.

  a big thankyou goes to all who post here, i have enjoyed immensely all the thought provoking discussion and not so thought provoking (thanks recovery/ethos).

  i have had heaps to get my head around recently learning the truth about the truth and as i remember reading here before its like digesting a brick.
