Views of the real true religion
by dustyb inwhy does everyone say that there is one true religion?
i've never gotten that point since i was a little kid.
i was raised in a penecostal family, so i knew some of the world, and some of jw....but every time i got around the jw's they would force that they only held the truth.

DO YOU BELIEVE ARMAGEDDON WILL EVER COME?
by Mary insometimes i look at the world and i think "man, how much longer can it go on?
" sometimes i think perhaps armageddon will come in my life-time.
the one scripture i always think of is the one in revelation where it says that jehovah "will bring to ruin, those ruining the earth.

To all who are hurting:
by poppers inas i read your posts and the stories of how you have been deceived by the jws and its gb my heart goes out to all of you.
i cannot presume to know the level of distress and pain each of you has experienced through this organization not having been a dub myself, but i have experienced my share of pain within the context of my unique journey, as all people have.
and i wish to tell you that there is a way out of the pain.

Rubber-necking
by poppers ini stumbled upon this site several weeks ago and have been reading avidly ever since.
i am not nor have ever been a jw, and my exposure to them and the society is cursory at best - a neighbor whom i have observed never extends themselves into the community at large, a best friend from high school who converted a number of years ago (not sure if he was baptised) and who no longer lives in my part of the us - wisconsin, and a little 4th grade student who asked my permission to pass out wt literature at school (i refused her).
it was that little girl who got me searching the internet and here i am, hooked into one amazing story after another.

Finding serenity after leaving the JWs
by NaruNaruChan intonight was such an interesting and profound night for me.
i went to class... well, specifically a class that i enjoy a great deal... with a professor who has inspired me since i began college...
so i'm sitting there, listening to him lecture, watching him walk back and forth across the stage with this huge projection of the u.s. territories in the background... and for the first time in what seems like ages, my soul spoke to me.

MY CONSULTING TRIP TO BETHEL (starting over) PART 6
by seven006 inwithin a few weeks i leased a condo on the banks of the willamette river just out side the city of portland.
as she got into her car she looked at me funny again, laughed and just shook her head.. .
i told him that if i said i was sorry, i knew that is what they wanted to hear but it was not the truth.
