49&holding -
WELCOME. Coming here shows you have an open mind and are willing to think for yourself, making your OWN decisions.
Many people here criticize and dispute Watchtower teachings, not specifically because they dislike the organization.
I find that this site is much more than that. It is a therapy, where those of us whose lives have been ruined by believing what we were taught as jehovah's Witnesses can heal.
Talking about things, saying what we think of it all WHERE ELSE can we do this to such relief ?
As for trying to disprove WT teachings- Another benefit of being here is that members can "vent" and ask "am I the ONLY one who feels this way?
Maybe Blondie feels she is helping JWs to see that they are in a dangerous position, by putting faith in a man-made organization. Like many other main stream Christians on this board perhaps she feels concerned that many JWs are going to Hell forever and views her ministry as a soul saving work.
The whole point of this board is we can say what we think, share the news, dispute, fall out, make up AND NOBODY WILL PUNISH US OR CONDEMN US.
The fact you are here shows you are looking for something the same.
After 40 years of sitting in Kingdom Halls, I have found a comfort here that I never knew before.
I have been helped in many ways, prayed for (yes - it works!!) and got things off my chest that were just festering. The elders would just have made a big issue of it all to no good effect.
Stay around. You may well have a good laugh if nothing else.
BLONDIE - this was so well covered. I have noted the April 72 WTclaiming they are prophets.(of course they recently said in a Watchtower they never said that)
Love
HB
