What are some personal truths you now believe in after leaving the WT?
by lovelylil inthese are things i hold as personally true for me:.
1) there is no religion today that has the only truth about god.
2) the bible contains truths for christians but other religions have books that contain truth for them.

Isn't truth undisputable answers to questions? Does the WT have any of these to offer? I don't think truth is subjective definitions different people choose to call "truth". But that is just my guess.

if he knows all
by abuttercup ini have often wondered..... they say jehovah is the begining and the end, and that he can read every heart.
if so, did he not know eve would eat the fruit and then adam would follow?
did he not know satan would try to pull his weight?

Are they really brainwashed?
by JWdaughter ini was just thinking today of all the stories we have of field service avoidance.
between the donut shops, potty breaks, fake back calls/rvs etc., almost everyone her knows that almost every jw in the western world does anything they can to pad out their fs time, whether they outright lie, stretch the truth(so to speak) or practice major avoidance of it.. the wt claims that this kingdom work is the way we prove who we are.
the wt says that this is the way that the message of jehovah's kingdom is going to be spread.

perhaps He had a very good reason...we just haven't figured it out yet? Or He has not decided it was time to let us in on His secrets yet?

THE UNSEEN MAGIC and THE MYSTERY of the MUNDANE
by Terry ini've known two professional magicians in my lifetime.. one was a friend and the other was a very close friend.. both would discuss magic with me at different times.
each was devoted to protecting the secrecy necessary to maintain the brotherhood of illusion.. however, i am a curious person.
i am challenged by the unknown.

perhaps he means "what if he knows the magic show is placing the crowd in serious danger"?
what decisions must the apprentice make?
What could be the consequnces of such an act?
Does he end up looking like a traitor and destroyer of all the "fun"?
Does he become an enemy to everyone except his gut?

Getting "disfellowshiped" is like someone kicking you out of their car just before they run into a brick wall doing 80.
Now...is that a bad thing or good thing?

Can a sheep put on a suit and rise up and lead other sheep effectivily?
by DavidChristopher incan a sheep decide it is ready to put on a suit and tie...and step up authorized to lead the other sheep in the flock?
how is that going to turn out in the long term?.
when the shepherd returns...will he then follow the opinions and rules of the sheep in the suit and tie?.

Yoda says: a sheep elected by the flock and given a nice suit does not a leader make.
