  every child and bible student was told about how wonderful the "new system" was going to be.

  "and what animal do you want to have in the new system?

  "......that was a very typical question.

  as the saying goes, "you only live once".

  with that, after being a witness for 15 years it was just time to move on to something else.. .

  yes i believe the witnesses do not have the ultimate truth as they believe they do, which helped in my decision to move on.

  Yes I believe the witnesses DO NOT have the ultimate truth as they believe they do, which helped in my decision to move on. But living the typical witness life there is literally countless number of things you cannot or are not allowed to do.

  Yes, at one point in my life living this way was very advantageous, it was something I probably needed as a young man. Discipline, schedules, responsibility, decent companions. But now I just need something much more than this life. It has worn out its welcome. It no longer serves its purpose. It is time to find much more in life than the predictable, hum-drum lifestyle. I believe there is much more in life than going to meetings, having thousands of people knowing every move you make, getting up early and putting a suit on Saturday and Sunday mornings for the rest of my life and list is very long.

  Please don't blame me, I just outgrew the truth.

  Did anyone else feel this way?

  How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark?

  many skeptics assert that the bible must be wrong, because they claim that the ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals.

  Were your prayers ever answerd by Jehovah?

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recall praying countless of times about very specific things, "worked in harmony with my prayers" and nothing.

  anything that remotely seemed like an answer was either coincidence or my own determination to get it done.. so, how about you?

  did jehovah answer your prayers or were you like me, did you feel very frustrated and guilty because they were never answered?

  Nothing in my life could be conclusively linked to some supernatural being or mysterious force.

  Like those jw urban legends.

  I.E. Corn falling off the back of a truck when a special pioneer couple lost their job and needed food. Just before that they were praying for food.
