    One question that I have is Does anyone still believe in the promise of perfect paradise on earth?
    I just got done reading "Emperors New Clothes" forgot what link I was on. Anyway the brother did some comendable exhaustive research into the subject. I remember, Jesus' Witnesses; I found a lot of internal struggle but FASCINATED read on, and toward the end the author intimated, at least I feel he did, that he still kept the same faith as before just not with the WTBS. Do you still believe as you did in the org? (with exception of accepting the org) This was a a great article if you haven't read it yet go to www.jesuswitnesses.com, same article mentioned above. Long read but worth it. Eagerly awaiting comments.............Nuts

    No, I don't. The bible is very iffy on just what it is promising humans, if read honestly. So I let go of any dogmatic ideas of what happens after we die. In fact, after reading it honestly for a while, I eventually let go of the bible. Before I did that, I felt like I was going nuts as well

    I've always believed in God and when I came out from under the JW docterine - besides the anger I was experiencing and reflecting all the year living a lie I was never angry towards God. The question was now WHO is He? What is the truth? I began to read the Bible and started reading the New Testiment - - from beginning to finish. I actually read the Bible as I would a book. My quesitons were answered and the everything I was taught about my destination was a lie!

    Everything we were taught it is the total opposite of what is truth. The fact is there is a God who loves us and created us in His image. He died for our sins so that we can ask Him into our hearts so that our names will be written in the Book of Life and will be reigning in the heavens with Him after He comes here to call us Home in heaven. Living here on earth now is temporary. Our choice is to accept if the Bible is real or not, if God is real or not.

    Knowing Him is so much more than just going to church and listening but becoming saved and asking Him into our hearts just as the scriptures say.
