What first gave you doubts ?
by rick1199 inwe all know the big problems with the wts, but what was the first thing that made you realise there were problems with the organisation ?
with me it was realitivly small stuff like an 8 year old getting baptised and a comment my best mates made about another of our friends asking if we should be hanging round with her as she might be bad assciation (she had just been reproved, but they had been mates 20 years).. .
how ever the first time i ever thought something was really wrong was when i was about 11 and my grand farther died, and mu mum wouldn't go to the funeral, i remeber thinking that surely it was better to say good bye properly than worry about if the service was in a church.. .

Is it respectful to call God by name?
by woodland ini was just wondering what your views were about calling god jehovah.
i appreciate that there is scriptures that says to call on his name, but if i were to meet the queen or president bush it would grossly disrespectful to say hi there elizabeth or how you doing george.
if this is the case with mere men and women in positions of power, is it not imaginable to address god on first name terms?

A Perfect Organisation?
by woodland inmy mum always says that she is an imperfect person within a perfect organisation.
now, what i do not understand is by her own admission she is imperfect, in fact, we all are.
so, how can imperfect humans create a perfect organisation?

Have you been able to make up for the lost years?
by woodland ini feel that my education was stunted due to the jw belief that education is not important.
as a result i have not been able to follow my dreams, or follow the career i?m sure i was put on this earth to do.
does anyone else feel this way?

The lost congregation, or something else?
by spiritwalker inwhile i have seen on many occasions the benefit of sharing our past problems, or life, with others who have been through the same.
i am very curious as to what the real benefit would be, to leaving a religion of such control and segregated thinking, only to venture online or in person to others who are basically a lost congregation of the religion.
does it benefit a person to seek out former jehovah's witnesses?
