Thanks, Think. I plan on that. It just really hurts. I've never been the type to have a lot of friends (I'm not very outgoing) but the one's I have, I end up very tight with. So when I lose one, it's like having an arm amputated. We "only children" tend to make our good friends the siblings we never had. I know how I hurt. I cannot imagine how an ex-JW hurts when shunned by all JW family members. It is just beyond me how they think that is loving.

the history of the watchtower organization is kept secret from new members and its own history is proof that the god of the bible would not accept these false prophets and false doctrines in his church body.. the founder of the jehova witness was named charles russell from pa. russell stated that in 1799 the end times started and that in 1874 christ invisibly returned to earth to rule.
russells prophecy was that in 1914 the world would come to an end.
russell changed that date to 1915 and later to 1918. russell claimed that only his published books could allow people to correctly understand the bible.
Expat, you need to do some research!

Welcome, Newbie. Bravo. Well said. My goodness you have been a busy little beaver. Thanks for all the reference info. What amazed me is when I found out that only one person on that Bible writing Committe (Fred Franz) had any knowledge of foreign lanaguages and proven to be pretty inept at that. He had only 2 years of college Greek and was self taught in Hebrew. Hardly the credentials for rewiting a book that almost 6 million people would follow to the tee. Talk about irresponsible. No wonder they won't let anyone know who was on the Translation Committee. Any thinking person (and yes I realize that is a JW problem) would have a problem with the credibility of that translation. Remain anonymous to "give the glory to God" my foot!
