hope you are all well!!
my husband and i listened to this audio experience of a cicuit servant and his wife who began to have questions and left the organization.
it is excellent!!!
Together with my belief in the Bible, I have abandoned my belief in christ after I researched all the myths before him that coincide with all his miracles, virgin birth, turning water to wine, dying and resurrecting on the 3rd day, even down to the 12 apostles, I would rather know the truth than to close my eyes and believe in a lie.

the wbt$ caims to speak for god..a god that intends to exterminate eveyone except jehovah`s witness`s..a god that can`t make his mind up about what the truth is,or what his people the "jehovah`s witness`s" should preach..a god who`s organization the wbt$,is absolutly corrupt..a god who say`s exactly what the wbt$ tells him to say.....does the wbts god "jehovah" exsist?...outlaw
That's a resounding NO!

i think that the bible gives hope and comfort.
i also think that the bible is a good book without me saying too much.
but is it a product of god?
PrimateDave, right on target! I just thought of a few more:
It teaches us that if we are virgins and our father is the only male around, we can mate with him, if we make him drunk first.
It teaches us that if you have male guests, and the locals want to rape them, offer them your daughters instead.
It teaches us that Disney movies are correct, sometimes animals can talk.(ie,talking donkey,snake)
It teaches us that if our kids talk back to us we can stone them to death, and that's ok with God.
I know there's more....

just wondering, all who have left, are leaving, or are still 'in' and no longer believe.. jw's have the hope of living forever...paradise...etc.. what is your hope for the future?.
do you still think there is the chance of living forever...paradise...etc..
I absolutely have a hope for my future! I no longer believe anything the JW's say, nor do I believe in the Bible. But I do believe that there is a Creator and I believe we are all a piece of him/her/it. I believe I am eternal, I came to live this particular experience in this shell I inhabit now, which I will one day leave, to maybe return and live another experience. What I want to focus on though is now, today, to live the best life and help whoever I can in any way I can. Sometimes it will be helping someone to free their mind from the enslavement to ideas and beliefs that hinder the human experience.
We all have god given talents that if developed can enhance our lives and those of others around us. Living our life believing we should slave and spend our time worshipping some God because a 2000 year old book tells us to, is a terribly sad thing.

hi everyone.... i was thinking about the whole star in bethlehem issue as many have posted on the subject.
and something struck me as strange.
and i wanted to know if any of you have ever thought about this:.
This together with a host of other contradictions, errors and revisions in the bible is the reason I no longer believe in this book.

.
so where did god live before he'd created the heavens?.
HAHAHAHA, funny! I don't believe in that book any longer, so whatever is written in there, is just nonsense to me.

has anyone ever posted about the tons of time magazine articles about the jws?
time has been around forever and has been a 'witness' (pardon the pun) to much of their history .. clear back to the 1930s.
go to the time website and search for yourself!
I found this footnote interesting, since as far as I know Rutherford was a Lawyer who served as a judge for a week or two, but was not really a judge, why would it say here that he served as a circuit judge for 14 years? If any of you know, please share this with us. Thanks for posting these Time magazine articles, I am sharing them with a few active JW's I know, since the source of the info is "non-Apostate" they will read it.
He was for 14 years a circuit judge in Missouri; "consecrated myself to the Lord" in 1906. He is now 58 years old.

do you still believe or nurture in your heart "living forever in a paradise earth" and even never having to die in "this old system"?
or do you now belive in life after death as a spirit being in heaven?
or have you abandoned the hope of everlasting life?
My beliefs have done a complete turnaround, I no longer believe in the "Live forever in earthly paradise" idea of the JW's. But I absolutely believe that after I die, my spirit will go on, and return to this earth in another body to live a new experience. I have found peace, and happiness in what I now believe and it's a happy place to be. Ultimately we will all go there and find out, so it really doesn't matter, it's not like we can change anything, all we can change is the way we percieve it so we can live a happier and more rewarding life. My goal is to make this life the best I can, and to leave knowing I made a difference in this world, in this experience.
