  People Come and Go. And Leave There Stains and Cigarette Buts crampled on the Floor. And as they do.....Remeber ME. (Brian Eno)

  I think this board shares the dissilushiment but also the hopes of many broken-hearts.

  I think that only after leaving the Witnesses can a person feal a personal After-Pain.

  It has saddened me that many posters of 1000 + have left this board.

  Because what they have said needed telling,needed to be said.

  I think I will leave this board now because life is a journey .

  But Iam grateful for the sincere heart-breaking posts from, courageouse people that have touched my life with the injustice that exists in trusting in an Organisation.

  I think for me the trick is to close the book and read no more. To find myself.

  How True Are The Testimonies On This Board.?

  its easy to belive what we read and accept as truth.when my wife came to the computer i left on the screen a post on what happend at bethel (not intentionally) ..she read it and said i dont belive it?

  i would like to belive what i read on this board is 100 % true.

  iam grateful for the truth on the u:n and more and more stuff that blows my mind away.and also personal stories that have had a profound effect on me.. sadly iam certain with-out doubt that the majority of exsperinences on this board are true because no matter how sincere a person is when you allow people to have a higher legal position in the land they live in than the law of the land they live in( no matter how bad or corrupt the society of the land we live in.

And no matter how imperfect. It is still better than allowing a group of elders (No matter how well intentiond) to assume the soul role of truth and justice . This is wrong and I belive the reason this board exists.

  Follwing up on my post " 2 sincere people" on Bible and Research section.

  This conversation was from the same shopping mall. I met the POs son( The P O has 3 sons one Disadvantaged one Disfellowshipped and a MInisterial Servent.I met the M:S.

  Anyway Iam not a writter and my enthusiasum for posting Is my wife is expectting our first child (So sleeping a lot) and the T:V is kaput.

  I cant articulate the conversation we had .Only amasement that he new nothing of the UN issue or other stuff but it was all very amicable and I really admire this man.

  Anyway as we concluded the conversation I said "Take your Dad back 20 years what did he belive?"

  "He IS Happy" was the reply. And I stupidily said and " wish we could have this conversation with your brother and dad..Why was your brother disfellowshipped...........Now the coversation took the negative. He said "You have he cross around your neck you ask him"

  I do wear a cross it was given to me by my Aunt & Nan when I was 21.They are dead now. When I was a witness I didnt wear it. But now I wear it.

  Anyway I said "Hey Sorry take the society not your dad back 20 years what was the teaching?" REPLY "DONT BLAME MY DAD"

  Now I have not been disfellowshipped.The eders are cowards( see my previouse posts as to why)But I now have added wearing a cross to there knowledge of my smoking + all my apostacy !!

  So what is the point of the post? He said "Dont blame my dad" and I respect this hope I have a son like him.Even if he knows its all bull .

  What didn't you know?

  i didn't have a clue to these issues below.

  i was surprised after 20 years in the wtbts to find out that...... 587bce and not 607bce <--- not a clue about this.. 1874 was taught until 1929 as the date jesus took rule in heaven <------ actually i did read this once and surpressed it due to my great faith in the org.. that jesus is the mediator of all men (and women) .

  that the great crowd of rev is in the temple (naos) <--- they are in heaven, scripturally speaking.

  I didnt know what the Word "ORGANISATION "represented !!

  Now I DO!! ( The opposite of Me)

  Now I live without things bening "Black White , Right or Wrong or Something in Between"

  Now I belive every person can choose there destiny and live for love and truth and peace of mind.

  Even If the world Is uncertain.. The tables are always turning and the grass can always be greener.

  So what Is love? ...Love Is a wonderful Colour !!

  But the trick is the blood flows alone an independent spirit (with a cold glass of beer to strenghten the soul)

  The truth Is my T:V broke so I was listning to the football on the radio . At the sametime reading the previouse posts of people on this board....Iam not articulate with words..And my world Is my wife and baby on the way!!...But to the the people on this board (Blondie Simon ect..THANKYOU) so much knowledge and help.
