Does leaving Jehovah's Witnesses ruin you

by kenpodragon in

jw
friends

one of the things i hear mentioned a lot about being a jehovah's witnesses.

is that once you leave, it ruins you for all other religions.

as you think that you know all the faults of other religions, and could not put any faith in them.

I will never join another religion.

I feel they are all a racket and snare.

before my dad went into surgery he asked that i contact the people on this board and let them know how much it ment to him much it ment to him over the past month or so to be able to talk with all of you.. this is one of the few things in his life he could still enjoy.dad wanted to especially thank craig (ona ) for accepting him and apologies for anything he said that might have offended you.. my father was in so much pain over the past seven years ,god must have thought it was time,dad passed a few houres after surgery.. dad asked not to have a service and will be cremated than placed in an urn ( as he said "so he can keep an eye on mom" ) we all loved him deeply and he will be missed.

"THE GLORIOUS ONES" WT TWISTING THE ...

by ARoarer in

i have been reading from other bibles and comparing them to the wt.

translation in the nwt and found it interesting that the information that they use in the reasoning book regarding apostates is taken from jude and the experience of korah with moses.

it seems they use this scripture to identify elders as the "glorious ones", and anyone speaking against the society is compared to korah speaking against moses.

never too old to molest....

by target in

Judge Judy was on Larry King the other week and this is what she had to say about Child molesters.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************

KING: What do you make of all these child cases going around America, missing children, grabbed children, killed children?

SHEINDLIN: I think you have to find the perpetrators and -- we talked about this the last time I was here. You put them all on a plane. You take them over the Grand Canyon with some seeds. You dump them in a parachute. And you say, "If you can survive here, survive here, but you're not going to ever be in a position again to hurt a child."

And to me, if you've hurt a child in the past, five years, 10 years, 15 years is not sufficient time for them to be incarcerated, because if you have the kind of psyche that enables you to take and sexually abuse a 5-year-old, you're never going to get better.

KING: That's a fact.

SHEINDLIN: You're never going to get better. If you wouldn't trust them taking care of your little baby, your two sons, then why should we entrust them with anybody's sons, living as a neighbor? Fifteen years later, 20 years later, 25 years later, I wouldn't trust them.

Would you trust them with your children?

KING: No.

SHEINDLIN: No. If you wouldn't trust them with your children and if you can't incarcerate them forever -- as far as I'm concerned you can incarcerate them forever - but if the law doesn't permit you to do that, the Grand Canyon is a big place. Let me go, see if they can grow seeds.

How did you find that site? It is very interesting that he does not yet know that teaching has been changed.

I feel damaged by my experience

by girltalking in

hi to everyone on this board - i have been around reading many of your posts for some time now but have only just felt strong enough to post my own thoughts.

the watchtower has left me with guilty feelings that i find hard to cope with at times.

my story in the "truth" started when i was 18 years old.

Welcome G.T.

It is great to have you here! You are not alone. A lot of us were hoodwinked and bamboozled.

Do you have family that are JWs?
