The shunning and judgemental policies of the WBTS that break up families in order to keep loyality to a group of men is nothing short of being parasitical yeast that gives birth to suspicion and hate.

Question about talking to JW
by darklight ini was raised atheist and never believed in any religion.
i've been studying the watchtower religion with a younger jw couple for some months now.. my main motivation was the fact i knew nothing about christianity, they knocked on my door and offered their "bible" study... so why not learn something, i thought.. .
and yeah, this is one crazy cult.... .

It depends on what the individual JW has to lose ? How many years and how much he /she has invested with family and contacts. I admire those who have left in their "crisis of conscience" at great emotional expense to them. I was the only one in my family so it was "easier" for me. Besides the odd one we might be able to reason with, based on the WBTS history, most will need a dramatic emotional experience, that will make them receptive IMHO.

conscious of my spiritual need, what next?
by stillhurts inso once you leave, what next?
have you found anything from a spiritual standpoint that brings you happiness and satisfaction?.
have you been so scarred by the teaching that "all religions are wrong", that you can't see the truth anywhere?.

What was Jesus's answer to Thomas ? John 14
Did not Jesus become a LIFE GIVING SPIRIT ? 1 Corinthians 15:45...
So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.....
Live your life with HIM ! It's a way of life 24/7 !

****Hmm, this article is quite a hack job. Will something so full of inaccuracies do much good? Perhaps if it sways the public's opinion, then the end justifies the means....***
Perhaps it warns people of the dangers of cults. We all have a responsibility, even Jesus said false prophets would come saying "here is the Christhe is in the inner room " (invisible). 1 Thessolosians 5:21 commands us to test all things, shunning and Demonizing is yeast of pharisaical teaching that give birth to suspicion and hate.
Shalom

After all the failures of Adventist's and later JW eschatology, PARTIAL Pterism seemed to make the most sence to me.
Anyways there were no set rules on partaking or frequency except to ALWAYS dwell on the methopher that we need a higher quality of life outside of ourselves if we are ever going to overcome the Adamic Nature within, that hold us captive to sin and death. A humble walk based on this wisdom is stressed in 1 Corinthians 2.......see also 1 John 5:9-13, John 15:5
John 6:63.. The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
Here is a link that gives a Partial Pterism view of ALL that has already been fulfilled in the book of revelation. http://www.preteristarchive.com/Books/pdf/1987_chilton_days-of-vengeance.pdf -

Thanks guys, Dad and sister last year within 3 months, wife and other sister over ten years ago, all to cancer except Dad he was 85.
We all know it is a reality, but tasting it up close is quite different. It makes me appreciate all the more that a loving God in Christ tasted death also in order to bring us to the freedom that almost every storey in the Bible portrays. Freedom from the slavery in Egypt, slavery to law, slavery to Babylon, and ultimately freedom from slavery to sin and death.
Shalom dear friends in Him who makes it possible !
