    Well, here goes. I prayed before I came on here. I know that it weird.

    I have been reading here for a long time. Ever since I was studying the 1989 WT and noticed that it was changed in the bound volume. 'Preaching work will be completed in this century' changed to 'preaching work completed in our time.'

    Thanks to GaryBuss, Seeker4, outofthebox and a few others that seemed to be speaking to me over the past year with their comments but who don't condemn individual witnessses who have been taught a certain way for so long and don't seem to be able to think on their own.

    I might get caught, I hold some privileges. I am on a public computer for that reason.

    Is it any way possible that JW's may still somehow have the truth?

    Every last friend and family of mine is a Witness.

    I am freaking out big time.

    Thanks people, whoever you are at those keyboards.

    Welcome, first poster.

    Let me give you my opinion - "do they still have any of the truth"? - If they ever had, they have squandered it by cynical false prophecy, coverups, and some of the most corrupt practices ever done in the name of a religion.

    It will take a while to shed all the head games they play on you - sounds like you will have a tough time if there is nobody else to share your thinking process in an honest way with you.

    Hang in there, many here will be there for you all the way.

    Wecome It's a long process to get all that stuff out of your head--sometimes I'm not so sure you can completely get rid of it!

    Hello and welcome, Bonafide.

    No, they do not have the (T)ruth. But... in your heart, you already know that, because you are here. Do not fret, do not freak out... just take deep breaths, give yourself time, and keep reading.

    And keep praying.

    Treat yourself gently. Go slow.

    Love,
    Baba.

    Hello and welcome to JWD.

    As you know, we're a diverse group.

    No, I don't believe JW's have the truth.

    Truth is in Jesus; JW's don't like Jesus; that's a bona fide fact.

    I hope you'll stick around for a while.

    Time to make new friends then, no?

    I am freaking out big time.

    That is normal & will pass.

    Welcome to the real world :)
