I recall an illustration that used to get used over and over to warn of the dangers outside JW land, if you had a glass of refreshing water with just a little poison in it would you drink it? Apply it to JW, if it seems by appearance to be okay and yet they have consistently lied since their inception, would you think it's okay?

Be honest post do all posters on this site believe the bible is 100% or has flaws?
by booker-t inwe in the psychology/sociology field have a saying "when people protest too loud usually they are overcompensating".
i did not understand that when i first started studying psychology but now i understand it completely and it is so true.
when i hear someone constantly bashing something or someone such as gay bashing or ethnic bashing or religion bashing sometimes i wonder what are they hiding.

If read correctly as a historical book then it is a good read. I highly recommend reading: Reading the Bible Again For the First Time: Taking the Bible Seriously But Not Literally

Is it worth it trying to wake up a friend and my parents?
by Mr. Self-Destruct inmy situation right now is trying that how my friend and parents that the jw's are not the true religion.
i've shown numerous examples of flip flopped doctrine, false predicions, the validity of the jesus choosing the bible students in 1919 and more.
but it seems that although the recognize these mistakes they ask me, "aren't you happy the organization is making progress?

They will only believe in what they want to believe. Hope one day they will question it for themselves. Debating doctrines doesn't normally work.

So sad for the survivors, thinking of them during the trial. It proves that JWs have provided shelter to pedos for a long time.

You said it yourself "she wants a person....". She doesn't want you. Your life seems to be on hold, live it now and don't waste any more time. Start meeting new people and building new relationships, one that are not conditional.

Mana11, I am truly sorry that you are being shunned the way you are. You're not alone, my family too is shunning me as are many others here. You've followed your conscience and attempted to reach out with truthful words, it's such a shame our families don't see it.
Continue to live life to the full, enjoy precious moments when you can.

Encounter with JWs on Literature Cart , strange happening -maybe ?
by jhine inyesterday i had a conversation with a man and lady who were with a literature cart in our local town centre .
among other things discussed was the accuracy of the nwt , which i said wasn't very accurate.. the man , of course , led the discussion from the jw perspective and looked up on his phone some quotes from "experts " endorsing the translation .
he asked the lady to make note of the names , at my request, so that i could check these quotes later .

Maybe it's a hidden message that she needs to be saved
