i've been reading this forum a for some time now.

i was at gilead in 1980 and remember standing in de elevator alone with ray franz, how just gave us a lecture.
Welcome Not sure yet, it's great to have you and read your experiences.
If you have been reading this forum you will have found AllTimeJeff and AwakenedatGilead's experiences were similar in some ways.
I look forward to hearing more of your life after Gilead.

im sure this has been mentioned many times on this site but i wanted to express my personal feelings of gratitude to paul at jwfacts.com.
paul, your site changed my life.
even though i discovered it when i was already disfellowshipped and really didnt have the intention of going back, i was still a fierce jw apologist.
Hey Paul,
How did your parents know about your wicked website?

Hi Paul,
May I ask how old you were when you were contacted by the Witnesses?
And your wife?
And did you have a previous religious background?........................and what about the Witness teachings appealed to you?
And................remember.................its a free world and you don't have to answer any of my questions.

a few months ago there was a thread about a couple of elders at the mill hill bethel being disfellowshipped because they disagreed with some wt doctrine (i can't recall exactly what it was) and that several other betheliteswere under 'investigation'.
i haven't heard anything since, does anyone know anything more about this?.

Interesting that in the 1980 Brooklyn witch-hunts, the women--Cynthia Franz and Betty Dunlap were not zapped.
Betty told me that Ed begged that Betty be spared.
I suppose they could comply with that request because they knew that no self-respecting Witness would speak to the wife of a good-for-nothing apostate.

hello all, i had some questions regarding the booklet 'should you believe in the trinity?
' i should mention that i'm a catholic and my brother is a jw baptised some 15-20 years ago.
since he found 'the truth' he had been quite vocal regarding the manyu, many false teachings of the catholic church.
I'm sorry.
I was almost sure I read "Should I believe in the Trinity".
Oh well! Wrong again.

What sort of a wasteful low life would use more than one?

If it makes you happy to believe in the Trinity, you just go ahead and believe it.
It makes no sense to me. But I'm not walking in your shoes.

"the society's vice president, fred franz, was acknowledged as the organization's principal bible scholar.
on a number of occasions i went to his office to inquire about points.
to my surprise he frequently directed me to bible commentaries, saying, "why don't you see what adam clarke says, or what cooke says," or, if the subject primarily related to the hebrew scriptures, "what the socino commentaries say.".
You can email him at [email protected]
He invariably replies.
So was that for the whole of Australia or just Adelaide?
