Muddy Waters I do not understand what youre talking about. The purpose of this thread was not to refute why others left JWs. I just wanted to get perspective and make sure no stones were left unturned. Thats for another time and place.
Another poster accused me of lying and wants me to present information directly from the transcripts. I will do this for sebastious and others who continue to attack me for my Conti thread and this will conclusively prove it once and for all.
I will be able to use my PCin a few as I am using my mobile to answer to any other posts that warrant it.

Christalone u.are correct about me regarding certain things. I do have a fear of nearly going apostate again but that is precisely why Im here. To conquer that fear. I do not.wish to defend the organization at all costs but to simply find out the truth. I want everything I believe in to be called into question and scrutinized. I do not want to leave any stones unturned. I know deep down I.will never regain my joy as a pioneer until I go thru this process. And if, in the end it has been proven that JWs are not Gods people, I can live with that and accept that. Im only interested in the truth about God and everything it entails. So your assessment about me is a little off but somewhat accurate at the same time.

Let me guess he was a mentally ill, intellectually dishonest, troll too?

Okay, let me clear something up. I am not attacking Conti for being a victim of sexual abuse. I.would never do such a thing. I did not viciously berate her and browbeat her wit names and insults as is so often done on this forum. I looked at the court documents just like everyone else. I found some very disturbing/contradictory statements.on multiple occassions. How can I be considered a troll for pointing out the obvious contradictions directly from the horses mouth. Perhaps I could have gone about it in a better way, surely, but does that make my points invalid? Instead of.offering a defense for her, everyone would rather attack me. Why is that?
About the Ray Franz thread: I did not realize his books were so verbose anf meticulous. I imagined it being similar to Captives of a Concept. Brief, to the point, and not very time consuming. But I was wrong. I started the thread with full intentions.of debating the points made in the book, but it would be impossible.for me to discuss such meticulous arguments without many hours of research.
Again I am not a troll. My efforts are sincere. But you can call me what you'd like. Who I am is of no.importance anyway.

I dont see why Im deemed a troll. I have tried to engage in serious debates before but all I get are gigantic cut and pastes and antiWatchtower cartoons. I also dont see how Im mentally ill for pointing out the questionable blunders made by Ms. Conti. I bet if I pointed out the WTs blunders the thread wouldnt have been locked. Outlaw save the back and forth for future discussions on Ray Franz.
Thanks to all who are contributing. By all means continue.

I suppose sebastious animosity stems from the verbal lashing he was given in the FDS thread. Maybe its time to move on. Calling me names wont change what the Bible says.

Your quotation makes no sense since that was many weeks ago. Maybe it hasnt occurred to you that Ive already began to read it? Hmmm, I wonder what Outlaws IQ is.
Witness My Fury of course Im going to do my own research. I just want to make sure I research/take into account everything, which is why im here.

If you are not a believer in the Bible, please state why. The same thing with an existence of a God. I just want to make sure I dont leave any stones unturned
I dont feel Ray Franzs books are all encompassing
