  Yes sounds like a difficult situation. If your pioneer sister is very zealous she might listen to a problem you have with a fictitious work colleague.

  In the bible teach book in the appendix 70 weeks of years is discussed. The start date of Artexeres rule is not actually confirmed by historians as the bible teach book states. You could say you have been approached and can she help you solve this problem.

  I found this when studying with my son, and had egg on my face when historians gave a different date to WT.

  There are plenty more ideas you could use to test the water

  Take care Kate xx

  Very well written blog. It's very detailed. Jwsurvey.org and jwfacts.com also cover a lot of this material too. Perhaps you could go to those sites and gain more for your blog.

  Have you read 'crisis of conscience' by Ray Franz? I think you would like it.

  Welcome awoken.....it's interesting to see that you developed doubts when you started getting exposed to WT procedures and policies as a MS.

  I will read your blog now and tell you what I think

  Been encouraging my husband to contact his DF'd brother

  my husband has a brother he has not spoken too in years not even when he became an adult.

  there is a big age gap between them and when his brother was df'd he was still a small child.

  his brother was 17 when he was df'd for sex and when he turned 18 he left home and never looked back.

  Sad situation.....looks like your BIL doesn't want anything to do with his family.

  Very tricky......but I would contact him regularly and be patient about him responding.

  Take care

  hello all, i would like to first say that i am basically questioning my faith in god.

  i am not negative towards the wt at all.

  so honestly i am to concerned with more ad hominem attacks towards the wt because i still love the organization and the people in it.

  I am not concerned with stories or examples of how they're horrible people. When it comes to personal experiences, I rarely believe them to be 100% true. - Qmf

  Sounds to me like you're perfect for an elders role exactly the qualities WT like. When you start to develop concerns about those that have been mistreated you will be ready to explore you're doubts.

  Nice to see you have started your journey.

  Take care

  I think the interviewer Alex was too confrontational as a witness I knew most JWs wouldn't enter into conversations like that.

  JWs Are trained to look for humble teachable people.....not free thinking ones.

  When I talk to them I usually appeal to their emotions and ask them what they think of my personal experience.

  Some are very responsive and some shun me.

  I don't think filming helps either

  Welcome to the board Qmf,

  Looks like you have left now. I don't think JWs are bad people but I do think the leadership has a lot to answer for.

  There are many elders who don't belive in God and carry on their duties in WT. I believe that JWs like this have no integrity. They make decisions about people's lives claiming they have guidance by holy spirit but they are atheist/ agnostic. I abhor this kind of behaviour.

  Hope you find some answers and retain your integrity.
