    Thanks AlltimeJeff, TheOracle, leavewt, Newborn, Estee, jookbeard... you all have given good insight on to Jehovah Witnesses belief as have many others... Heartbreaker it's when you "see the truth about the "Truth" "... Jehovah Witnesses will shun you and call you an apostate... When they reconize you speaking against the Jehovah's Witnesses and no longer believe, You are an apostate in their eyes!!... When you preach your beliefs that is contrary to Jehovah's Witnesses you are an apostate!

    lol funny heartbreaker.

    And Issac... sorry didnt mention you... I enjoy you deep research and you way of questioning... lol like the JW they question every detail we need someone to keep up with them in that skill and you do... you make solid points and bring up good questions and insiteful information.

    Yeah I never thought I'm say it too jookbeard I too feel 10 times better... facing my fears straight on and realizing, ha, (laughing in my mind) it's not bad... I was being decieved to keep me in. I shattered the mind control with the help of people on this board!

    I'm reading CoC and I learned a new word (heretic) when looking up John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, and Michael Servetus...

    Condemned by Catholics and Protestants alike, he was arrested in Geneva and burnt at the stake as a heretic by order of the Protestant Geneva governing council. (wikipedia.org)

    heretic - a professed believer who maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church or rejects doctrines prescribed by that church. (dictionary.com)

    Synonyms:
    1.
    apostate, backslider, recreant, protestant. 3. dissenter, skeptic, freethinker.

    Butterfly, enjoy CofC. He writes son gently yet you will probably observe how he documents everything he asserts. I think you will find it eye-opening. Any questions or things you want to talk about feel free to pm or email.
