If there's some good in the Watchtower, why leave it?
by AlmostAtheist inthe post about crisis of conscience in which the poster said he knows there's some bad in the watchtower (as brought out in coc), but there's some good in it too got me to wondering about people that stay for the good in it.. the united states makes some decisions as a country that i don't agree with, perhaps even object strongly to.
but i don't disavow my citizenship.
it's mostly a good place to live, so i stay.. if you want to live in a way that utterly conflicts with the watchtower -- homosexual, multiple sex partners, smoking, whatever -- then you have reason to leave.

Turn away from these wicked ways!
by Proud Witness inwell as you would have guessed from my name, i am a proud witness and i feel obliged to preach to you about the promises that our wonderful creator, jehovah god, has promised each and every one of us, of any race or background.
i know that you already know what he has told us through his word, but i am curious to wonder why you have chosen to jump off the narrow road which leads to everlasting life.
is it because you have had a bad experience in god's organization?

Question for Christians only
by Steve Lowry inok, i got save in 1984 (left the wbts 1979).
i have always felt at a loss when it has come to the emotional impact aspect of jesus' sacrifice.
what i mean to say is, that i have seen other christians openly weep about jesus and his death on the cross, while i have felt nothing.

Well, I think my apartment is haunted.
by Steve Lowry inyep, thats right, haunted.
i have never had a dwelling place with so many unexplained noise and goings on.
lights that have been turned off, magically turn back on and visa versa.

Wasted 1900 years for Jehovah???
by free2beme indid everyone else get the impression from the witness teachings, that jehovah basically choose no one for the 144,000 heavenly class in the years from 100 ad to 1876 ad?
if so, did you feel this way because those years were never spoken of, or did the witnesses you know say this?
i personally asked one time, and was basically told that there may have been a few, but for the most part the numbers in those centuries were very limited and most were in pentecost and after russell began his work.

A deeply heartfelt goodbye.
by Gregor init has been a wonderful several months getting to know y'all.
we've had some laughs, some tears, a few sharp words, but ultimately we are still brothers and sisters of the church of screw the watchtower and i will always remember this period of my journey.
there are so many names i have come to know, some real, most aliases, because your still scared of being found out, you apostate little bastards!

Contacting the "other side"
by sinis ini find it very interesting that the bible and mythology are very close, when speaking about god.
also the statement made by god in the bible to worship no other god but him, in effect saying that there are others gods.
has anyone actually looked into the occult, for lack of a better word, and actually made contact with an entity?

Masturbation quotes
by 5thGeneration ini didn't want these buried deep in the favorite quotes thread because they are just too dang funny and/or weird.
*** watchtower 1973 sept 15 pp.564-5 breaking free of self-abuse-why?
that masturbation is abnormal and unnatural is also indicated by the fact that abnormal, mentally deranged people are notorious masturbators.
