What made you "see the light"?
by hubert ini realize many (or all) of the ex-j.w.
's in this forum have either gotten out of the org., faded, or in some way have come to the conclusion that the watchtower is not the "faithful and discreet slave", and is not the "true" religion that they claim to be.
i am curious to know..... "what made you see the light"?.

Are your Kingdom Hall "at the door" contributions tax deductable?
by hubert ini was raised a catholic.
every sunday at church, we can pick up a weekly bulletin that states the amount of money taken in from collections of the week before.
we also have envelopes that we can use for our donations, and also we recieve a statement from this information in the mail showing how much money we have contributed to the church for the previous year, which can be used as a tax deduction.

Were you illegally disfellowshipped?
by hubert inbased on "official" bible based doctrine, were you "illegally disfellowshipped?
i have been reading many threads on disfellowsipping, and it makes me wonder if there were many who were disassociated, or thrown out of the org.
for reasons other than what the watchtower officially teaches?
