I am very satisfied with the answers i found. I know that i will leave beyond death not waiting and armageddon to rescue me. So my shoulder is lighter, life is better, no longer have to go to meetings anymore.

The greatest thing is i took 100 % control over my spirituality instead of listening to men that are blinds.

I have more time for myself and familly.

Let face it, if God wants us to be united in one thought, he should have made easier to grasp his mind, what he really wants. No one except the israelites that have been in contact with him through prophets, he surely know that once a generation of people dyed the whole question about him have to start over again. Who he is? Weather he exists or not?

well, i have been trying to fade peacefully for months, for the sake of my wife and family.

to do this, i have had to hold my tongue about most of what i know, and i have done a good job of it until now.

the other day, i was hanging out with my buddy who misses most meetings, but still believes it's the truth.

amen

Deny, deny, deny.............One you give them the possibility that the conversation took place, in their mind you are already guilty. No matter how much explanation you might do.

last days?

by mjs mouse, ben in

jw
friends

recently overheard some jw relatives talking, the term we're in the "last days of the last days" was being used frequently, i didn't want to ask them, it would of turned into an argument.

wtf does this imply?

is anyone else hearing this?

amen

-the last day was about the time of the apostles. Geeh! the last day is lasting a heck of a time.

-anybody predicting about the last is just guessing. Have a life and don't preocupied too much about it. Just love God and your neighbourgh and you'll be fine or anybody.

While loving you neighbourgh is easy to see how to do it, but loving God is what religion focus on it, saying i will lead you to him. That's the mistake a lot of people will do and fall prey to cults like like the Whachtower.

Strategy: Jehovah's Witnesses and the Trinity.

by Odrade in

a certain catholic xjw (jeff schwem) and i have been following the same blog for several months.

in this blog, the young woman has been documenting her conversion to jwism.

i have not always been so kind in my comments as jeff has been, but i have been honest.

amen

A few years ago, a cousin of mine came to visit me from NY a catholic. We were arguing about the trinity. I had the reasoning book with me well we were exchanging ideas and bible verses back and forth. i thought i had the last argument and winning it until he punched me with a verse in colossian i think it was. I did not want to admit it but i know deep inside me, he got me i could not refute what the bible said.

Last summer i when to a barbecue where most of my friend were became weak JW's who don't go to the meeting anymore but still believe in the JW's ideology. I told them i was not going to the meeting anymore and it has been more than 2 years and i did not believe anymore of what they society teaches. In the course of discussion one of them asked me i believe in the trinity. I got corned, if i told him, no, he would say that babylon believes therefore the JW's are right on that one. I had to say yes eventhough i knew if was a wasted of time talking about the trinity.

Before i said yes, i said that the bible is in such a way that if you want to believe in trinity the bible will support that if you don't want to believe in it the bible will support also that. Thanks God, his brother back me up on that.

The truth is for me the bible support the trinity although it does not matter you believe or not. God will not destroy anyone for not believe it.

My last talk at the kingdom hall was about the trinity i could not do it because i believe in the trinity, so i ask a friend at the kingdom hall to do me a favor to do it for me and he did.

Amen

hello, i'm new :)

new to the forum, new to the truth.

trying to get a better understanding of what i'm looking for.. .

i'm a young married mother of three beatuiful babies.

amen

Welcome Mrs.

You remind me when i first started with the witnesses. Everything seem to be so perfect, they have the right answer to all the problems in the world. Everything made sense at the time. That was 16 years ago.

In general I had never had any problems with the members. But, gradually you'll see that their doctrines are falses. Where you have doubts, their love so to speak will make you accept their faulty doctrines.

When i became a witnesses i did not have the tools that we have today. Stil i should have made more research. They are clever.

Keep doing your research, ask questions.

Great Crowd vs. Other Sheep

by prophecor in

would someone briefly help me understand the divide that exist between the great crowd and the remnant, 144,000 who go to heaven?

what scriptural backing does the society use to justify their position that they are the only ones who are able to enjoy a covenant relationship with jesus christ, where those of the " great crowd " are only granted a relationship through extension through the 144,000?.

i've been around the truth for a large portion of my life, never really knowing this was an issue.

amen

Witnesses have always a lenghty way to explain everythings, when things are so clear in the bible. The apostotles never thought 2 classes of christians. All Christians believe they are going to heavens, nothing less.

Jw's invented the 2 classes and are misrepresenting christians believes.

i've been lurking for some time and now its time for me to say hello.

i want to call myself sam on here to avoid any repercussions, whatever they may be i have learnt to cover my back in this life from the experiences i now ask if i may relate.

i was born into a black working class household in england to a mother who had remarried after splitting up with her first husband in barbados.

amen

Welcome Sam the man!

It's nice to hear your storie, if you have more let us know. I visited bethel once in NY and i knew i did not like the life there.

It's good to know what's going on in the secret of the society.

Panicattack Update on my wife and family situation(thanks for helping guys)

this is an update for any who have kept up with some of my former posts and have taken time out of their lives to give me advice on dealing with situations like having a wife who still believes and a child starting kindergarden.

these situations can quickly turn into a life crisis when a person doesnt know the proper way to deal with these things or know where to turn for help.

i am indebted to the internet and also websites like this for helping me to break free.

amen

Hi Pat!

I am very happy to hear good news like that. I left more than 2 years ago. I appreciate the freedom i have not being scared by any man made religion, they have no power over me....I am free.

Life is better that way. I am still a believer as i always have been.

Yes the truth has set me free.

I am against it for one reason because of judicial errors that happens from time to time. In other words innocent people do not deserve to die.
