I probably would have found a way to rationalize all the embarassing information. Afterall, it was my duty to do so since this was the ONLY organization through which I could gain salvation. I look back at myself now and am amazed at how stupid I was.

question
by Realist ini have a short question.. while you were in the truth would have been impressed by the quotes on the quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com page about 1914 and all the other wrong prophecies or would you have simply ignored or denied the accuracy of the quotes?.
would that have caused doubts or would you have found a way to rationalize the obvious lies?.
thanks a lot!.

Although I go to meetings on Sundays only, it's two years I don't put any more contributions for myself and my family. The bastards don't deserve it!

Although I am still a JW, I will be secretly celebrating my son's 8th birthday this month. I won't even tell my wife I'm doing it, I'll just take the little fellow out and spend an afternoon with him(lunch at McDonald's, park, a Nintendo game etc.) and remind him I'm doing it specifically because its HIS birthday!

I definitely enjoy this board. I am a frequent visitor to this site since over a year. And although I would lurk and read some thoughts, I never really decided to join. But I did notice a different flavor recently, so I joined up last month. Now I enjoy this board the most!
