since then my family have tried to convince me it's "the truth" and force me to go back even though it's my own decision.

well i thought i had heard it all but, the mercury columns "will christians enjoy sex in heaven" just hurt my brain.
how can god allow sexual relations in heaven without marriage??
in heaven there is no need for anyone to belong exclusively to another(wow!!!
And everyone Will be perfect. Attractive, nice bodies well endowed. Whats to lose? I'm in. Where do i sign up?
good afternoon , .
i have been having doubts for many years and as most jw's i have certainly not done myself a favor by suppressing all of my critical thinking.
i am married with 3 kids and my wife and i are inactive, but my wife has made it very clear in speech and action that she wants to go to all meetings, field service, and indoctrinate our kids.
This may help your partner wake up so you can get your kids out.

i do not believe in the bible but i will use the reasoning from the new testament to argue against watchtower.
the reason i will only use the new testament is that jesus replaced the mosaic law with himself.
even watchtower agree with this principle.
The Watchtower teach dubs to not be involved in jury service. These dubs include elders. A bit hypocritical isn't it that elders would not attend jury service, because of the possibility of a misjudgment but on the other hand, judge in a judicial committee. I suppose it's all to do with the holy spirit directing the judicial committee. How delusional. Three window washers in a room with no qualifications. Yet in a court room, there are qualified legal professionals with access to what ever it takes to make a judgment.
i’ve been here for many years.
the tone seems to be different in this place.
not so many pissed off exjws .
@ resolute Bandicoot. I take it that you are an Ozzie by your name. I Had a pet Bandicoot as a child. I'm from Queensland. State moto, " beautiful one day perfect the next ". What a crock. Mostly I'm inside in air conditioning to escape the heat. Cheers.

Why do Watchtower use judicial committees to judge. There were no judicial committees in the first century. The only arrangement for the elders was to help spiritually sick to have a clean conscience. James 5:13-15. The only law Jesus gave was to love one another. Freeing the jews from the law of the Pharisees who put to many burdens on the Jews. Jesus also gave a commandment Not to judge as you will be judged by god.
The Watchtower pick and choose what they want from the old testament. For example, no tattoos, no dressing up in clothing that resembles that of the opposite sex. There is more of these but I will not add further examples. An exception to this is beards. It was a reqirement for Jews to have beards from the mosaic law. But this is a no no according to the Watchtower who seem to be inconsistent without justification.
For any of you JW lurkers reading this, take note. You are being deceived.
To sum up. Judicial Committees make a judgement that causes all sorts of grief. JESUS gave us a commandment not to judge. Further to this he said to treat everyone as brothers and sisters. No governing body was set up in the first century.
i hope hollywood helps make her the democratic nominee.
she sounds like she’s testing out the waters.
good luck ms. winfrey.
Do you know anything at all about the Middle East under Ottoman rule?
In the last hour or so I have read about the empire on Wikipedia. Pretty barbaric. Islamic ideology has truly shown it's true colors.
Seems as if every country since has added to the misery of these people.
When will it end. The Jews have done their bit also with their belief that they are gods chosen people. Might I add that Jehovah's Witnesses have oppressed people too.
Time for people to be educated.

So you're okay with Turkish Muslims invading Palestine but not other empires.
At least Palestinians owned their own property.
Today they have been pushed off their property and are restricted in their travel, access to medicine, food supply, clean water, Building supplies. Etc.
