Hi Winston, welcome to our wonderful community! You can read my story when you get a chance, I was in the "Lie" for over 30 years, spent about a year researching the WTS and realized I had been duped. Happily I can report that my husband and kids have been liberated, and so have my brothers and sisters, and my best freind and her kids. My mom however is another story, she's still a reg. pioneer and at her age, I know she will die there. Life has never been better now that we are all mentally free! I wish you the best with your wife, keep us posted, there's great people on here who will support and help you in your journey!

Good Luck!

Hi, I am originally from Corona, Queens. I was in for about 30 years and got out about 3 years ago. What's your family members name?

What is YOUR bible of choice?

by gloobster in

jw
friends

although i'm pretty much an atheist, i still like reading the bible.

it's an amazing literary masterwork to say the least.. my question is, after discovering that the new world translation of the wts was poorly translated and altered in ways designed to support their various peculiar doctrines (see john 1:1, etc.

), what bible translation are you all the most fond of?.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Mine is "The Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine...oh and nature of course. IC

Holy Moses! PBS documentary suggests Exodus not real

by ICBehindtheCurtain in

this will be very interesting, i only wish it would make the rounds on the jw emails the same way "knocking" did, fat chance!

we can only hope that pbs and nova will jump on this bandwagon as well, sooner than later.

holy moses!

You are welcome Gopher, I accidentally posted this twice, because the formatting was messed up, so there are two topics about this. Anyway, the Abraham thing always intrigued me when I was a witness, years ago while I was still an active JW, I asked my Mom who is a staunch JW regular pioneer, why there was no tomb of Abraham or of any other bible person, she said that Jehoover made sure that there would be no hero worship by keeping their burial places hidden, and my poor brainwashed mind accepted that explanation, although with a little hesitation. I am marked it on my calendar and will post a reminder on that week. IC

Thanks VM44 for re-formatting that, I wasn't able to do it at the time. I learned of some of these things a while back while doing research on the Bible stories, it really brought the whole thing tumbling down, that and when I read the passages in the bible where you can clearly see it is describing Yaweh as a Volcano god, yeah interesting indeed!
