"We wouldn't know the truth"
by RunningMan in

sometimes when i point out the societys poor track record, particularly their many changes and errors, i am faced with the argument that all of these changes were in the past.

now, because of the refining of their beliefs, they are all correct.

if jesus is present, then he must have already come.

Why do you still believe?

someone posted on another thread a comment that i found interesting.

something like once you find out the truth about the 'truth' its impossible to stop there and not question everything as far as religion and the existance of god.

i'm sure most of us that were raised in the watchterror org and have found out that we were decieved our whole lives have examined this subject at some point.

...cried through a meeting and, if so, what were the reasons?.

i cried through a lot of meetings at my second congregation while i was still in good standing.

i couldn't stop myself; i'd just cry quietly.

ive been looking at an interesting site by a woman who receives transmissions from aliens called the zeta.

apparently the world as we know it will end may 15th when planet nibiru / marduk passes so close to our earth that an apocalypse will occur.

it last passed by when the noachian flood occurred.

I need to ask a question...

after reading flowers posting about her brother, it really got me thinking (a dangerous occupation with me) lol, what is it about the jws, that when you are in the org, you feel that you are in the'right religion', and then wham, something happens, to make you realise that things are not so rosey as you were first led to believe.. so my point is.. when you leave the 'org' you feel such great relief, as if a burden has been lifted from your shoulders, and that you feel that at long last (as in my case) you can really develop a good relationship with our creator... but, if it were the 'true religion' surely we would feel downhearted and oppressed in leaving, and really we would not want to leave at all, as all things would be made clear to us, and we would feel happy again, but that is not the case.. i hope that this makes sense.

as at the moment my mother and sisters are still not speaking to me, it has now been a month, and the tatic i know, is that by (hopefully) ignoring me, i will come to my senses and return to the fold, and maybe even leave my sweet talking evil slave class husband!!

(yeah right).

by sandy in

i was wondering as i have been lately; did i turn my back on god and am i wrong for turning my back on the organization?.

are there any of you out there that feel like you have a real personal relationship with god with or without religion in your life?

do you still call god jehovah?
