46Joy Or Sorrow When You First Found Out It Was False?
by serotonin_wraith infor me, it was joy.
i was raised in the religion, and i always figured i'd be dying along with 6 billion others because i hated the meetings, the preaching work and the rules, morality and threats of 'jehovah'.
i did not want it to be true.. for others here, finding out it was false was a hard time to go through.. as well as asking which feelings you had at first (joy/sorrow/or add your own) i have a follow up question for those who found it hard- what was it that made the impending deaths of 6 billion people okay for you?

Conversation with street witnessor (?) becomes elder infused
by AuldSoul inyesterday, thursday, july 26, 2007, a conversation with a street witnessor (isn't that what you would call someone involved in street witnessing?
) got joined by a walk-up elder turned into a great opportunity to witness to several bystanders (who even joined in the conversation).. i began by declining to accept the offer from the elderly woman who held up a "what does god require of us?
i said, "but, verne, you aren't going to the bible.

I spent 15 years to many in the org. When i was leaving or fading for good, it was during the invasion in Iraq in 2003.
Well, i heard the story line. We are so close to the end. Well, i knew the organization did not have the truth, there is nothing they could say that could make comeback or change my mind.
Lucky me, before i left. I went to school got a career and i could not have done better.
I enjoy life and above all my spirituality is in my hand not in some men in NY, they should be hang for apostacy, then again let them live because one day they will pay for it.

When Did You Start To S L O W Down In The "Truth"???
by minimus inwhen you look back at it, what got you to slow down?
?
-
-
amen
I never slow down, from day one to my last day i was very active until i decided to say good bye and pass on all my priveledges, on the last day i gave back the key to the kingdom hall and i was free.
It was hard mentally for a year to do everything and not believe in it. I had a talk about trinity so i passed that also to a dear brother. I believe there is ground to believe in the trinity.

Why Goatlike Ones Fail to Inherit the Kingdom
by Rooster inwhat disposition, however, is to be made of those people of "all the nations" who are likened to "goats" and who are separated to the kings left hand?
jesus continues on in his parable of the sheep and the goats to say: "then he will say, in turn, to those on his left, be on your way from me, you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
for i became hungry, but you gave me nothing to eat, and i got thirsty, but you gave me nothing to drink.

Even going beyond what is written ;by shedding the name Christian and adopting a new name one that is better then just being identified as a Christian
This is an organization's interpretation not Jesus nor the bible.

"It is finished"; Now What is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Now What? injust thought that i would hop on real quick to share the news.
my fade was going very well, but i decided to end the charade.
i started feeling deceptive, letting them think i was still a good dub when i didn't believe anymore, so i decided to initiate a meeting with the elders.

amen
Job well done, it is good to see you have not lost faith in Christ.
Jws' do not understand Christ and his message. Talking to a JW about Christ is like showing them the cross, running a way from it.
amen
