Do the angels guide people to the witnesses?
by undercover ini remember growing up that we used to hear experiences of people who felt lost in life or weren't happy and miraculasly a jw showed up at the door and brought life-saving good news to the distressed one who moments ago was seeking help from god in prayer.. and there were the experiences of people who led a life of debauchery until realizing that they weren't happy and they had to change.
enter jws as a study was started and the former evil-doer was transformed into a zealous servant of god.. we've all heard the stories.
they were always shared at assemblies and public talks to impress upon us that god's spirit was acting upon either the witness who found the searching on or that the spirit moved the searching one to find the organization.

Which of Franz's books is better, COC of CF?
by jwfacts inwhen i was rethinking the wts i did most of my research by going back to old books and steering clear of "apostate" material, so i knew the wrong dates, pyramids etc and made my mind up before reading any apostate sites.
when i finally read crisis of conscience i already knew a lot of the information in it, though i still really enjoyed it.
however, even after i knew the wts was a con i still did not have answers for some of the doctrines, like great crowd/other sheep and organisation.

DOUBLE STANDARDS FOR DUB DOCTRINES
by Mary ini just thought of something last night and figured i better post it before i forget it (getting alzheimers here) about the double standards that the wts has when it comes to interpreting scriptures.
we all know the story about the last supper and how jesus instituted a new covenant with his disciples.
they all drank the wine and ate the bread as per jesus' instructions and this custom has been passed down for 2,000 years amongst all christians except those unfortunate jehovah's witnesses who weren't baptized before 1935.

ex-JW trinity --anger/fear/guilt
by blindersoff inanger, fear, guilt.
when those 3 things no longer visit us, i think that is a good indicator that we really have broken free.
jesus said 'the truth about 'the truth' will set you free
