Nor I punk but what the hell are they up to.
Don't they have better things to do with their precious time?
Why the secrecy, no minutes reports of discussions, oh well perhaps for another thread.
Best wishes.
when i was a jw i had a lot of silly ideas that seemingly explained things i wondered about.
arguments from ignorance or special pleading i suppose.
actually, my conclusions were daft.. one thing i have wondered about and i don't know if anyone else has, is why man hasn't either rendered the earth to a cinder or why there haven't been more nukes go off against nations.

Bilderberg.
when i left the wt organization, i continued to believe in the bible, so i wanted to confirm and refine, as much as possible, my faith that the true god is in the bible.
so i began to discuss with skilled christians, who were also ex-witnesses.
but i was surprised when some of them tried to relax my fundamentalist position on the literalness of the genesis account.
Hi terry. Does that mean our choice of what we believe is mearly a justification for what we want?
Whatever happened to the truth of the matter, not forgetting the evidence.
When it concerns the ' jesus 'enigma its almost non existant, of course if you just want to believe it, where is the basis for ' justification '

What is attributed may be and in some cases so remote from the actuality to render it useless.
And unnecessary.

Jesus died for his beliefs....which were??!!!
the wtbts has an easy time painting x-witnesses as apostates because the direction of information is entirely one way.
and jws rarely get an opportunity to consider both sides of the equation for themselves.
i think that websites like this one are a great tool for those who are already questioning their beliefs or are already entirely out.
I would be for any anti watchtower campaign,as long as it was not against the individual.
I always make a point of dropping a little TTATT at the trolley dubs.just enough and then bid them good day.
I hope a little trickle turns into a stream.
A though provoking poster conveniently sited where JWs and public would see it could prompt doubt on the one hand and an informative choice on the other.
" dinosaurs" .
i mean why didn't the bible cover it?.

Ahm soor a shaw the moch less nonster las nicht.. hic!
long time lurker, first time poster here finally looking to get some things off my chest.
i've always been a very curious person with tons of questions about everything, and i also care deeply particularly about societal issues like social injustice, racism, and homophobia.
that, coupled with how boneheaded all the elders in my congregation are (except for one), led me to ask even more questions that led me to find ttatt.. .
Welcome letts party ;..great first post, hope you have have a successful journey as you break the bonds of jw deception.
Best wishes to you and your family.
all throughout my life tuesdays were my meeting nights.
well tuesdays and thursdays to be more precise, when we had book study but book study was at my house so it wasn't terrible.
anyways as a kid i hated coming home from school, doing homework and then going to the meetings.
Hi kneehigh... hey tuesdays for me mostly mean an evening visit to see a few mates of mine playing rock n roll.
A couple!!of pints of real ale and a curry or kebab.
Oh yes I recall those tuesday book studies and ďrudging home in the Scottish weather.
My advice find something your really interested in to occupy your Tuesday's and recall with a wry smile how they used to be.
Best wishes.
