i am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.
especially hellfire.
i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.

Bravo! Well said, Fernando (better than I ever could).....

found this website this weekend by jws who recognize there are issues within the organization and are calling for change.
this is the type of forum moderate jws needs, imho.
glad to see moderate jws are out there and are doing something.. http://www.jwreform.org/.
At first glance, it appears this is more of a one-man "soap box" initiative than a broad-based call for reform by a multitude of conscientious JWs.
what is the figurative heart?.
jehovah with a complete heart?.
