The "Unforgiveable Sin" For Apostate...
by Perfection Seeker inthe last real "meaty" witness discussion i had with my mother, she said "you must have gotten that information from an apostate website, because that is the exact line of reasoning & order that all apostates use" i said that she was rude to call me an apostate, and that i am not afraid to read information, i like to gather facts.
(oh, by the way- that was before this website, now i am proud of being an apostate :-) thanks everyone) anyway, so i asked her what exactly the "unforgiveable sin" is.
she said "saying the truth is not the truth" so, i said- so if i say the witnesses aren't the truth, and really believe that, then later on , if i decide it is the truth, jehovah won't forgive me?

Den of Iniquity
by CC Ryder inback in the early 90's i went thru a divorce due to adultery on the part of my wife...she got involved with a ms from a neighboring cong....who...he and his wife were our best friends...i lasted a year up north where it took place and left for the south....our case was one of 9 cases in that one year period....not to mention the birth of a child to the wt conductors daughter...out of wedlock....he remained the wt cond.
by the way....is this a special experience i had or have some of you ran accross such a "rash" of similar experiences??
?....call me old fashioned....but...i believe in commitment to your mate...if it ends...let me know it's over before the nasty deed is done...my ex wanted out of our marraige....and because of the rule in the borg...she devised a way to do it and give me the freedom to remarry...some of the other 9 cases involved an elder and a pioneer wife of a ms..my ex and the ms's ex were both pioneers....and the others were ms's and sisters with a lot of years in the borg...i am now blessed with a great wife and companion (tinkerbell4125 as you all know her)!!!!.

Would you forget it ALL if you could?
by Perfection Seeker inif you could "bump your head" and forget all the crap that came with being a witness, would you?
but, in some way, i think i have grown from the experience & have learned from it, and it has made me be a better personl, less judgemental, more tolerant, more open.
but, if there was a magic pill to erase it- hmm......hell yes i'd do it!

the 'NEW LIGHT'
by bad_associashun inconsidering the past beliefs of jws & the new & improved current beliefs, some changes i can recall are: the cross, smoking, what is actually 'porneia', the end --->1914, no wait... 1935... we mean 1975... well what we really meant was by y2k... by the time this generation passes away, yada, yada.... also blood issues, organ doning, who will & won''t be resurrected- what others can you all think of?.
my question is this: if jws are led by god's spirit & the org is the true channel god is using, why did the 'light' need to get brighter?
why was is it wrong in the first place?.
