    Hi, MsGrowingGirl20!!!

    I think I've previously given you this advice, but...

    Here goes, again...

    Get your hands on ALL the OLD Watchtower Society literature that you can...

    Read, read, read... Cross-reference, if you need to...

    Do a LOT of research - and not just in old Watchtower literature.

    Research "cults"....

    Research "doomsday mentality"....

    And then see what you think - feel...

    Prove to yourself that 1914 is a date marked in the Scriptures as being special.

    Once you really examine this organization, the way this organization recommends others to examine their "false" religions, it falls apart. There is NO way this is God's organization. There is NO way, they aren't even close. Mind control does not make it truth, it just makes it good programming.

    I am a big fan of research this organization, the more you do, the faster the chains let go. I personally have zero doubts, they are nothing but mind control false prophets responsible for the descruction and loss of many lives. I see it as one of the most blood guilty cults around. It makes me sick to think I ever believed, and oh so grateful to be free of it.

    MsGrowingGirl20: Remind yourself of this FACT. Even if it's NOT true, you are obligated to believe it and promote it, or you can be disfellowshipped. How does that make you feel? Bullied?

    My wife asked me that question when I first left, she was still supposedly a Jw, I said "As usual you are jumping the gun, first prove it is the truth, then I will worry about "what next"". (That sounds a bit smart ass, but she always crosses bridges before they are even built, so the "As usual" was true and fair)

    She was unable to support the religion in any way, and therefore left as well.

    We have found it was not the truth, in any way, and what came next was a journey to a wonderful place of freedom and spiritual fulfillment.
