Something that my devout JDUB cousin said...
by yogosans14 inwe used to be so close before she got heavily involved in the jw religion.
she actually got me into it (i actually believed all the nonsense) and i went to meetings with her and everything, we were like brother and sister.
she lives in texas now in a remote area where their is no cell phone signal or anything with her dad and mom (i think they said they moved their to get closer to jehovah which is weird).

by yogosans14 inlast time i was at the kingdom hall they were praising themselves about all the growth in members they have been having.

Why do I suddenly want to start reading JW literature and going to Kingdom Halls?
by yogosans14 inis good calling me back or am i just letting my emotions get the best of me?also i really want to be closer to my jw family.
btw i was never baptized and i consider myself a born again christian i go to a baptist church and wath televangelist and i have expirenced gods presence like never before but sometimes i get fearful and think "what if jws are right and i'm wrong" than i'm screwed!but if there wrong and i'm right it doesn't look to good for them.. i would prefer if nobody posted "god isn't real" type comments.
i truly believe he is real but i respect why some are atheists..

Have you noticed that the Mormon and JW websites try to appeal as looking "normal" and "mainstream"
by yogosans14 inhttp://beta.mormon.org.
for instance look at the mormon website versus jw.org.
they both look colorful and try to paint themselves as "normal everyday people" and they don't fully explain all there beliefs for obvious reasons.

Going inside "Christendoms evil churches" after abandoning the BORG
by yogosans14 inafter i was done with the wt and its unbiblical teachings i went to other churches.
first i went to a roman catholic church after reading many of the early church father writings (which btw all of them affirm the trinity) and as i first went in i thought i was literally going to burst in flames or become posssed by a demon!but as i went in the church had a nice smell to it and i sat down in the back pew and the church was very full.
the service was beautiful, there was 4 bible readings and a sermon and the priest talked about being a light to the world and living like christ and it was a very uplifting sermon considering i used to think catholics were idol worshipers and never read the bible.

144,000 are only born again disproved by 1 verse.
by yogosans14 in1 john 5:1 says everyone (not just special people) but everyone who believes that jesus is the son of god is born of god.
born of god is the same thing as born again.
the jw theology is so easy to refute i dont see how anyone can read the whole nt and still be one..

Studied with JW grandma for 3 years and went to meetings, I have now seen the light!
by yogosans14 inim new here and im 17, going to turn 18 in 1 week.
i studied with my gradma the bible teach book and went to meeting with her and other relatives (considering most my relatives are jw except my parents) and i believe in all of it because i never read the bible for myself.
after reading the gospels i started noticing contradictions in the jw doctrine like when jesus said many would dine with the patriachs in the kingdom of heaven (yet only 144,000 jws can) which would seem odd considering the fact he adressed this to more then the apostles.
