I remained in for almost a year just to make sure that this JW religion is 100% false and the Bible is 200% nonsense.

What made you stay "in" even when you knew it wasn't the "truth"?
by mentalclarity inso i've been thinking a lot about why i stayed a jw for so long even though i had always had doubts about the doctrines.
i was born into the religion, left and came back as an adult for another decade.
some of the things that come to mind (besides the threat of shunning-and this isn't to minimize that very real threat) was:.

What is behind your choice of forum user name?
by stuckinarut2 injust curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.
i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

When I started to question the WT about its true history, my so called JW friends(All from India) started to shun me with name calling as "Apostate". They invited me and my wife for a dinner in an elder's home, of around 20 JW people. After dinner, Two of the elders took me to the basement and asked me straight at the face that whether I want to remain as JW or not. If not, they demanded me to write a letter of disassociation. Also, they said that they can never have me as a friend anymore, and that I should leave their home the next morning, after a sleepover. They said they never wanted to dine in the table of demon. My wife and I immediately left, both sobbing, since they had been our “Dear” friends for quite a while. Been a very bitter experience, but it proved their cultish attitude.
A year later, I wrote a letter of disassociation just to prove that I am breaking myself away from this cult and that I’m not afraid of losing my eternal life prospects, or any other nonsense.
Since then, I made a fair research on most of the religions and came to know that they are all scams. I chose my name as “EverApostate” since I am so confident that no religion can fool me again in my life.

Do you think the general public cares about former Jehovah's witnesses?
by Christian Gutierrez ini was wondering if you guys think if the general public cares about our stories or if they even care what the watchtower does to people??

Why would they, unless they have some close relative/Friends in the cult. Everyone has enough in their lives to think upon.

Why "... when it does touch on scientific matters [the Bible] is accurate" is bogus BS.
by Island Man injws and other christians would often point to the handful of the bible verses that seem to be scientifically accurate as evidence of its divine inspiration.
but not surprisingly, they ignore the ones that are scientifically inaccurate, or when they address those verses they put a spin on it like saying the account is not a reflection of what the bible is teaching but what men at the time erroneously believed and which god allowed them to record in the bible.
would you believe a jw actually told me that!

Jehovah thinks its more important to provide statistics and details of gruesome murder and slaughter than to provide information about microbial pathogens and viruses.

The Sun stood still for Joshua's bloody Genocide, as the Bible says. Perfect ignorance of the writer revealed here, supposed to be inspired by GOD.
Sun Stood still means it was understood to be moving, prior. Like, if we say that the train stood still, means it was moving prior.
But the JW would spin as "The sun appeared to stand still from the viewer's aspect and it was by other means that Jah made this marvel work". I heard this comment form a sis in one of the meetings long back.

Jehovah's Witnesses denial of what they are supposed to believe from Watchtower
by jambon1 inone of the most frustrating things.
when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.
such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".

The Resurrection narrative can make perfect sense if you consider it to be a lie.
by Island Man inthere are aspects to the resurrection story that seem unnecessary but make perfect sense if you consider them as patches to shore up the lie of jesus' resurrection.. (1) why did there have to be angels present at jesus' resurrection?
there is no other resurrection account in the bible that mentions the involvement of angels.. possible explanation: jesus' disciples really did steal jesus' body from the tomb.
two or three of them ambushed and knocked/drugged unconscious the guards on the scene before stealing the body.

Good Points @Island Man
God of Love tells us to:
Stone a rebellious son to death
Stone a daughter to death who cannot prove her virginity
Stone a person to death, if he picks up sticks on the Sabbath
Rip open pregnant women.
Hate our families, ditch them and go after him.
Kill those who stumble his worshipers. (I'm in this list for sure)
Oh, got to do some chores, will continue later.

In my opinion, they are far better than Watchtower because they serve the Community, outside their religion. (If the accounts in this Video are true!!)
