Hello to all, can I have a moment of your time? Thanks!! from Truth and Justice
by Truth and Justice inthought i would properly introduce myself, being that i have posted here about 6 or 7 times since march of 2008. i do not want to create any sense of insecurity among the guests.. my name is truth and justice.
i have been reading this website since march of 2008 with great interest.
many times i have wanted to write and kept putting it off, because i just did not know how to put my thoughts on paper, especially when millions of people will read what i have written.

by unclebruce inbahbuttons said: another time i accidently told a kid god bless you in the kh and you'd think i just said every swear word known to man with the looks i got from everyone....another embaressing moment that was.............fond memories eh,lolquoteendquoteeend.
th is an interesting point.
apostates always bang on about watchtower double speak and the way the society twists words, investing them with mind-control triggers but rarely do we hear about censorship by omission, the words jw's can't speak.

True Religion vs. False Religion and James 1:27
by Ultimate Reality insomething that opened my eyes as i was re-examining "the truth" was the verse at james 1:27. in the new world translation the greek word in this verse, threskeia, is translated worship, which is fine except that it hides a more important meaning.
this same word can be, and most often is translated religion.. for witnesses, the matter of being the "one true religion" is all important.
pure and undefiled religion before god and the father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.. english revised version.

Family is shunning us.
by AgentSmith inmrs smith and i have faded away for many years.
we knew the day will come that we would be questioned directly what our stand is.. this past holidays we were confronted by our jw family.
we told them the truth, we are not jw's anymore and that we go to any church that strikes our fancy.
