  How sure were you that it was the truth?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were a witness how sure were you that it was the truth?.

  were you totally convinced or did you think it was just the best way to serve a god but not perfect.. it amazes me when i think of how vigourusly i defended the witness and my ideals when on the minisrty and in talking to friends.. what worries me is that if i was so covinced then about what i belive then should i be so convinced now.. back then i was at the pinnacle of understanding or at least i belived i was , do i feel the same now?.

  well i try to not be so dogmatic about thing now.

  Have we judged God?

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a very interesting conversation that i have been having with a very nice jehovah's witness in private has led me to ask this question.. have we judged jehovah based on the conduct of humans, our families, people in the congregation, even governing body members?.

  does this distract us from a direct view of god and his personality and purposes?.

  don't just jump on me, think about my point and let me know what you think.. joel

  i am so ashamed to admit that i waz called a jehovahs witnesses, that sometimes i want to move & change my name!.

  how many of you feel the same, or do you share the camp of those who say, "everything happens for a purpose"?

  even though i have been out for about 3 yrs., i still can't believe i waz that stupid!

  c: you are very special to me.. c: i love you deeply.
