i received this crap from my jw mom today.

i hope it doesn't "encourage" you to go back .

among jehovahs witnesses, congregation elders work tirelessly to make contact with all members of the congregation to ensure that they are safe or can get to a safe place.

also, the elders check to be sure that each one has lifes necessities, such as clean drinking water, food, clothing, and essential medication.

Were There Any JW Doctrines Or Beliefs That You Found Confusing?

most witnesses never could explain exactly who the "faithful slave" was (according to the society's explanation).

the resurection of the sodomites was another bewildering thing.

were they or weren't they going to be resurrected?

i have not noticed the witnesses referring to themselves in the literature as a christian denomination before: is this a new development?

the february 1st wt says on page 22:.

"a high-school textbook, world religions in denmark, published in 2007, described jehovah's witnesses as a christian minority who follow the bible closely.

On the move to real Kingdom truths!!

my fellow brothers and sisters!.

i feel compelled out of gratitude and love to write this little tale, not because i have lost my faith, but because i realize i am not alone, and as heb 10: 24, 25 states: and let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, 25 not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.. i have never felt nor would i ever think that that scripture applied solely to meeting atendance.

the form of true christian love displayed by many here on this board affirms my faith in jehovah and lets me know i am not alone!.
