  asked my dad the other day, a man who da'd himself seven years ago yet, amazingly, still believes 99% of what the dubs teach just what makes him believe the dubs have the "truth.

  " what were the first words out of his mouth?

  "well, they don't believe in the trinity...." .

  Balaam and the assembly of gods

  by peacefulpete in

  2. bible

  an interesting piece that illustrates the shared mythology between palestinian cults is the character balaam.

  of course we know the story in numbers 22-24 where he is hailed as a prophet of great power who dispite his desires utters a blesssing on isreal.

  the talking ass bit has gotten much attention as obvious storytelling.

  i have contributed a few posts over the last 24 hours, and keeping with the apparent tradition i guess i should introduce myself.

  i am an ex-dubite, after twenty years slaving for the organization.

  i decided to call it quits roughly only one year ago this month, after a spur of the moment decision never to go again.

  2. beliefs

  i've had two witnesses tell me that this is false (apostrate) info from the 5/22/94 awake!

  i got it from the page of the ajwrb website, and it's supposedly from p. 2 of awake!

  they tell me that's wrong...so...is it out of context?

  The Israelites never escaped captivity.

  a major event accepted by christians, jews and muslims around the world is that moses led an exodus from the clutches of pharoah and egypt into the promised land.

  many doubters of this story conclude that this was merely a peasants revolt, not one led by some kind of god.

  fortunately, we have new evidence that suggests otherwise.

  by minimus in

  that question is raised on page 709 in the "proclaimers" book.

  notice the answer the book gives.

  "because they believe and accept what the bible says as to the identifying marks of true worshipers.

  Is becoming an XJW like growing up?

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did your process of leaving the organisation and learning new stuff feel like growing up to you?

  looking back at your time in the so called "truth", do you think you were misled or even "naive"?

  even "innocent"?
