Basically, I need some advice from all you ex JWs. I want to help my best friend (and my ex!) to come out, but I don't want to fall out with him and have to argue with him about bible passages. What helped you all to see the real truth? How did people help you? I'm really stuck as to how to help him. Its really difficult, because he won't be alone with me ever, so I can't ever have private conversation with him. It makes me so mad, only this afternoon he told me could watch a film tonight. By 9.30 he hadn't been in touch, and I had to text him to find out what was going on. I got a reply saying that he had gone to another persons house with some guys, and that it was going to be a guys night and I wasn't invited. RAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He makes me so mad, he didn't even have the decency to call and let me know, the coward. I have such love and yet such hate....

Its the most important meeting of the year for JW's. I'm not a witness, but I have been to a few, but as far as I can remember its to do with the passover, but obviously they all have a different slant on it! Its usually when they get all their non-witness friends and family to go along with them. I think I have it right, but I'm not 100% sure!

Now that I can see what great people you all are, maybe you can help me out. As I mentioned about my ex, I am still mates with him. Whats the best way to help him to see what you all see? What was it that made you all really stop and think about what you were doing? I have to be careful, if I'm too blunt, then he may take a bit too much offence! I do want to help him out, but I have no experience as to how.
Any suggestions would be very welcome!

Wow, this is the best message board ever! I really admire all you guys for realising the real truth about Jehovah's Witnesses. I have never been a Witness, but I had a serious relationship with one that ended in heart break. It gives me hope to know that there are people out there who not only have come out of this religion, but also that there you are there for people who are going thro the same stuff as you.
Sniff sniff...going all soft...

Who has seen the official Watch tower site?
by born againer ini have been looking at the official site to see what they offer.
its the load of rubbish you usually hear at the door, but there was one thing that really got to me -.
"it was a christian country that gave birth to the holocaust and another that unleashed the horrors of atomic warfare on japan.".

Exactly! Plus the fac that Hitler hated all organised religion, because it took people away from his authority. But then they argue about the validity of war...

Riz, thats rough! The person who always asks me is an ex of mine. We went out for 2 years, and he split up with me because my family are Christians, and I wouldn't cut myself off from them. I think he was convinced that I would eventually give it all for him, he even wanted to marry me eventually. He still tries to get me to go to things, and I am staying his friend because I care about him loads and I want him to always have a supportive non-witness friend. I hope that it goes ok for you - let me know how you got on, and I'll let you know how I got on!

Thank you riz! I have a friend who is a witness, and he asks me every year! I want to be prepared when he asks me, rather than surprised.
