Did I turn my back on Jehovah's True Organization?
by sandy ini was wondering as i have been lately; did i turn my back on god and am i wrong for turning my back on the organization?.
are there any of you out there that feel like you have a real personal relationship with god with or without religion in your life?

how does Jehovah rationalize Babel?
by SpiderMonkey ini'll try to keep this concise... this is an issue i never got an answer to, from the elders or any witness, on my way out of the "truth":.
jws believe that god permits evil to answer the "age-old challenge from satan the devil," that man can't rule himself without god, correct?
(please correct me if i'm wrong).

by SpiderMonkey inwelllllll... this is my first post on this forum =) i've enjoyed some of the paranoiac screaming back&forth on the un thread (hehehe, no, i mean really enjoyed it), but what i'd really like to do is contact any ex-jdubs from the east metairie cong in louisiana; i was there during the late 80s / early 90s... especially phoebe, if you're out there; i know it's a long shot!.
peas, spidermonkey

Hi-I'm new here
by had_enough inim new to this (or any) board and id like to introduce myself.
ive been visiting this and h2o for about a month now, and it has been so therapeutic for me.
ive been inactive for about 2 years except for memorial and assemblies and those have only been for my siblings sake to help care for an aging parent.. i decided to join in and introduce myself because yesterday i read ozzies great post on restrictions on march 23 pm and got so worked up by past memories of my experience with dfing and going through the humiliation of qualifying for reinstatement.

I see little good left in WTS
by Amazing inyou said, "so would it be wrong to accept the fact that the wts, despite its flaws, has many good scriptural truths to share.".
i think most of us accept that the wts has done some good, but as the years pass, i find that the good i thought they did is getting less and less, and more importantly, the harm caused is getting greater than i could possibly imagine.. you continued, "can we reject what they have pressed to the world: god has a name, his kingdom is to solve mans problems, the earth is to become a paradise as god purposed, man will live endlessly on earth as intended, those who died will return in a resurrection of the dead rather that burn in hell, and this good news is to be preached in all the earth.".
at this point in my life, after 25 years of being a jw and now an ex-jw, i find their message, its very root concepts, pure fantasy that may not necessarily god's will.
