Reading the Bible Made Me Leave "The Truth" & Christianity
by Seeker4 ini was looking up a couple of verses the other day in my nwt reference bible the one with larger print, footnotes, cross references, etc.
in my day i was quite a diligent student - the bible is filled with my notes and comments, and i'd already worn out another one earlier.
one of the things that i found surprising as i was reading my notes, was how often they were pointing out inconsistencies, contradictions and obvious lies in the biblical text.

Why do JW Boards BAN Questioners, While Questioning Sites INVITE JWs??
by Seeker4 inwhy is it that on jw discussion boards, anyone who brings up difficult issues or questions will soon be banned from the site, while sites like this one where debate and discussion are encouraged, we welcome believing jws with open arms?.
of course, most of us here know the answer to that!
but it is something to take note of, and to mention when you get a chance.. there was a recent post about a jw group on facebook.

Will Lack of Leadership Sink the JW Ship?
by Seeker4 ini see serious problems with the leadership of the witnesses on two important levels: locally, in smaller bodies of elders with marginally qualified men carrying heavier workloads, and internationally in a lackluster and unimaginative governing body.

BBQ with a Dozen Old ex-JW Friends last Saturday - Good Times!
by Seeker4 inlast saturday an old jw friend was visiting the area from florida.
we had reconnected with another friend from the old congregation - a man raised a jw but who had to deal with being gay and all that entails for a witness!
at any rate, we had a terrific bbq with a dozen ex-jws who used to be in one congregation together, but now live all over the country.
