it is normal for a person to review their beliefs, especially after such a traumatic event as disfellowshipped.i think that many here do not believe that god is leading jehovah's witnesses.. someone does not believe in god at all.i think it is good when we can be free in our views, no matter how much they are, without the pressure from any organization that teaches us to "true" believe.so, now i read many books on the history of the bible text and found that there is no foundation to be sure that at least one true words after 500-year history of rewriting has reached us.
if you wont find more info about this - googledbart ehrman book or nestle-alland new testament, where every words have many variant.for start read thisi read grat biological works, as dawkins "great show on the earth" and other (into russian lang) and i do not have any reason believe into creation.but, i still belive ino any abstract god-like force, without any "book based" reason.what do you believe in today?
why?please do not condemn each other's faith - we have gone through a rather difficult path..
Hola Alex,
I sure as hell don't believe in the homicidal, jealous, hatefull, innocent killing god called jehovah in the fiction book the bible. When you look at it from a non-religious view you come to the conclusion that that god is big time nuts!
Religions are just another way to keep people busy and make maniacs out of them.
imagine: you have inside information that could destroy the watchtower corporations.. how far would they go to protect the assets?.
would they kill?
no strange question in blackwater etc days.. g..
I believe they would. It's not only the gb's retirement fund but also all of their helpers future pensions also depend on it. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
hi eveyone, my sis told me something like where will i be after that day.
i couldnt realize at first what she meant, but i found this on net donald-trump-kim-jong-un-meeting-singapore-june-12/.
i found her reaction so pathetic, but i think she is really sorry for me leaving.. so how to do you reply to jw family or generally when news about world peace comes out?.
Oh great now Kim is talking about not meeting with Trump! But Kim don't you see you need to cooperate with the jws interpretation of the bible?
i am asking of your assistance at this time on a topic.
i know this has been briefly covered before but some of the link in old threads are no longer working.
the topic is these communities created for older jws.
Hmmm wonder if they would still provide as all those texts mention, if none of those old timers had the finances to pay. NOT. Hypocrites.

the man in the article is an elder for two local congregations to south texas.
one of which i used to attend.
Interesting in that if he was helping in two congregations, he must have been well trusted by the CO to be a good elder. So much for that. I guess the holy spirit screwed up again.
here's a guy that walks up to a literature cart, and commences throwing the books and magazines everywhere, piece by piece.
in this screenshot some are headed over the fence.. .
one more highlight to mention was phillip brumley talking about the situation in russia.
Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho that was awesomely funny!!😂😂😂
last week in the sunday meeting a sister made a comment and collapsed, a massive heart attack.
one of the young brothers is a fireman and he gave her mouth mouth and according to the doctor this saved her life.
so if she had missed the meeting that day she would have surly died because her husband is not in great health.
Lol!!
in the area i live in the pacific northwest, three spanish congregations we're merged into two a couple of years ago and in the next month or so four english congregations will be cut down to three.
both situations happened because of lack of growth.
a few years ago, i would never have imagined spanish congregations disappearing or merging but it's happening.
I'll pm you.

Wakanda there are no signs of new language groups here so we're good on that. Im pretty sure in a few years the three English congregations will be down to two.
