I commend your faith and courage. But what makes these videos and different from any indoctrination methods from JW's?
i speak to you in a genuine way, not making snarky remarks, as your atheist brother.
Hope you can answer my question. Thank you.
for the past three years, my husband and i have been watching these sermons by remarkable worldwide speakers.
the biblical truths we have learnt from their presentations, in such a short period of time most definitely tip the scales compared to the truth the jw.org led me to believe i had for over 20 plus years of my life.
thanks to these videos, we have now found the truth and the truth is jesus christ (john 14:6).

i had the misfortune of being born into the jw faith.
however, i thank god every day that i was disfellowshipped otherwise i would never have found the truth.
good riddance to the watchtower bible track societys false publications, especially that book they claim contains the holy scriptures it is deceitful and full of darkness, and gets darker with every revision!
Yes. I agree with what Steve said. It makes for interesting interchange when we express our thoughts and beliefs without feeling pity for people with beliefs different from ours.
Keep up your research. There is a vast amount of knowledge out there that we were told not to venture out and find. Now you are free from the shackles. Do what is happy for you and be open to other ideas and beliefs.

@talesin
+1 for nice atheists! It's to see in this thread where theists and atheists can get along despite our differences. I feel no need to ridicule that someone's belief is a made piece of crap. I want to let them come to their own conclusions finding their own inner peace without ridiculing their beliefs, as long as they don't ridicule atheists beliefs.

Yes, I hope you understand why some of us are a bit baffled by hell. As something as complex as God, don't you think God would be merciful enough just to let all unbelievers die off in sleep?
Again, not trying to offend my Theist brothers. Just something to think about.

@Faye
Greetings. Just curious. What makes you so sure of your Christian faith? How can you prove Jesus is real to you?
Again I ask this not in arrogance but in kindness.

Welcome!
I am still an active JW that has learned TTATT (still in for family reasons). Currently in the middle between Atheism and Theism (although slightly leaning more towards Atheism but I am open). Most of the Atheists here mean well like "cofty". Yes, they are frank but they just want you to arrive to conclusions through logic. Just keep doing your research to arrive to what is best for you. Whether you believe in God or become Atheist, it is up to you, as long as it's not impeding on the rights of others or advocating your way as something all should follow. I know some people can be a bit rude on here but don't let it stop you from seeking more knowledge. :) Hope to hear more from you.
i know many on here have lost faith in the bible , is it possible that is because ones do not have the right perspective regarding it .
we have usually been taught by bad teachers , or ignorant .
i believe if we take an honest look at the bible , we will see that it gives us the best answers to crucial matters , it gives us some amount of bearings ( understanding ) , which without having such knowledge we would all be more like walking zombies in amanner of speaking , we would be lacking hope in something better , for surely something better is to come , how can we be sure , .
Hello WD,
Greetings! :) I haven't posted in a while but just want to say thank you for opening up this topic. It is sad how some people are insulting your post. I had some insult my first post as well. As one who is in the middle between Atheism and Theism (although slightly more towards now to Atheism) just keep doing research. I for myself am doing research as well digging deeper in the bible as well as Atheism. Even if I do become full fledge Atheist, I would still respect your belief in the bible. My advice is to keep doing your research. If you have more to explain your reasons in faith in the bible, I won't mock or turn you down. Again thanks for opening up this thread. I would like to hear more from you. :)
christians, should i attend kingdom hall meetings to discreetly "preach" to jws about the real jesus and the lies of the watchtower?.
.
i plan to go undercover and plant seeds into them.. .
@Simon
I'm actually interested in what he has to say.
@Cry2Jesus
No problem bro. My apologies as well. Guess I was just anxious to hear a response. Do you have any other evidence other than "personal testimonies" that back up your strong faith? I mean there are many "personal testimonies" of JW's just as strong as yours that I have read in the Watctower.
