being raised a catholic we had lots of crosses around the house.
when my family converted to this cult they were all removed and destroyed in case they had demons in them lol but at this juncture in my life i do not even know if jesus as the way he is portrayed in the bible was real.
yes a man named jesus did live and die 2000 years ago and probably on a cross but he was definitely not the son of god.
Why be such a stickler, only the witnesses. If the news reported, a man shot standing
against an oak tree shot in the head, you would wonder what's the point in mentioning the oak tree.
WTH, the man was killed. Who give a crap if he was standing on his head, the man was killed.

"since the supreme judge never makes a mistakes, there is no need for him to take under.
If I did some of the things that God did to his children, the state would take my kids away
and put me in the safe place. And to think, these people copied those crazy stories.
jesus spoke of loving your enemy, matt.5:43, luke 6:26, but look what is said in.
mark 16:51,16 "go preach but who ever does not believe his ass will be set on fire".. i don't think that is good news.
hell if that is love, what the hell is hate.
So my question Doug, what is the authentic way of life for a true Christian base on
the Bible? You estimate 25% genuine, what 75% of the bible is crap.
It's frustrating talking to a believer and using the bible only, Gods word, and
you are told not to believe this part. We have so many different opinions, what is
true what is just a story. After 1700 years we still question the truth about the Bible.
i was just explaining to mrs picard........ never a jw, and not english, how we used to celebrate the harvest festival, when i was 7 and younger, before my parents converted to jw'ism.. i loved to sing "we plough the fields and scatter".
of course, singing such hymns is, to a jw, paramount to apostasy,with the death penalty like punishment the ensued.. how really stupid their harsh rules.. did you have any favourite hymns?.
i think we would all agree, that they beat the pants off the "kingdom melodies".
jean-luc: A Baptist up to age 21, and then I went to my minister and told him to
remove my name from the roll, I'm now a JW and want no parts of Satan's organization.
OK , not the best witness.

I was always told by JW's the songs in the churches were to stir up emotions.
Ok what about scaring the crap out of people, tomorrow the end will come.

After I left the truth, I went back to my old church for a while. I joined the men's
choir. Singing those sounds that I raised in, Baptist church. We rocked I must say,
but gave it up when I was singing a duet and passed out. That ended my singing
career in the church. But I love the songs.

You right, Mark 16:51 was dropped. It read go and preach to those dogs, they changed it to
Mark 16:15. It sounded more loving.

Diogenesister: I hope he didn't call the Canaanite woman a dog, Matt.15:22-26.
That would make him a jerk.. We only have the Bible and people say it 's the truth, we can't
pick somethings and say that's not what he said.

i know this question has popped up from time to time but i really would like to know how you guys, those that no longer believe, came to that conclusion?
was it the wts and all its crap?
was it something you read?
