lts all hog wash.The witnesses believe that they will be the only ones saved at harmageddon.What a load of absolute crapology.The old saying bullshit baffles brains certainly applies with them lot.The problem is they all believe their own bullshit.There is approx 7 billion non witnesses at the moment that according to the them lot they will all die.The lucky ones having been born into the sect and baptized will be saved.in essence this makes the sect a lucky lottery because l can assure anyone that the majority of born in jdubs would certainly not have become one otherwise.

"If I wasn't born a JW, I would never have become one."
by OneEyedJoe ini've seen it mentioned by a few on the forum that at some point there was a realization that had they not been born a jw, they never would've converted no matter how many times the jws tried to study with them.
this was my experience too, and i'm wondering how universal it is for those that were born-in but eventually left.
i think i started having this thought (more specifically that if i were not born a jw, i would surely have become an atheist by now) in my late teens.

Would a loving creator give humans the gift of free will?
by Heisenberg inthey say ignorance is bliss... well, i wish that god did not give adam free will.
i am ok to not have free will if it means i will live forever in perfect paradisiac conditions.it has been explained that free will is a gift from god.

Yep the god of love has proven at least 1 thing hes a man slayer just like satan.No wonder a third of the angels left god and l wonder how many more.As a kid l would sit at the meetings and wonder to myself how gullible these people really are.l wish l didnt feel this way but the facts speak volumes.Maybe god if he exists will prove me wrong one day but l dont see how.

One of the 10 commandments god gave men was not to kill.Regardless of whether we had a free will or not we all know its wrong to kill but its quite ok for god to do all the killing.What type of god is that???

Yep know the feeling.Tap tap tap,looking for flys on the wall anything to distract me,scribble on the pad while pretending to take notes while dad and my 6 siblings all sit at the front,tap tap,quick look at watch,Count how many letters in scripture of the month above speaker tap tap ,then all of a sudden now brothers turn to song number 10 house to house. What a crock.l guarantee when the weekly meetings were reduced to 2 most would have been over the moon with joy some woulda even lit a cigar or downed a bottle of vodka whilst others woulda thought thank god for that amen.Halaluya praise the lord amen to that. -
