What was your 1st Deception as a JW?
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
was was the first thing that really decieved you, in your jw years?.

was it the way you were treated, or maybe a teaching that deceived you ?.

i think my 1st deception was when they said that the resurrected ones wouldn't be allowed to get married in the new system.. then i wondered why ???

2. beliefs
i'm trying to find literature thats supposed to be only for the elders.

i would ideally apreciate a site with a list of all jw books and if possible all magazines (wt & awake!)..

e-watchman mass banning
by spiceant in
1. jw
2. experiences
recently e-watchman started deleting/suspending (theres a difference?

) accounts of people on the e-jehovahs-witnesses.com forum left and right which he and the moderating team deemed to be discussing apostate things as in apostate in brother kings own vision, further detailed in some posts (basicly barring out discussions of jw doctrine).. i suppose my own offenses was my "staying in the org.

" thread and one that explained that one should not depend on kh's to be able of worshipping.

Big Question
by choosing life in
1. jw
2. friends
i know there may not be an answer to this question, but i am truly interested in other's views.

i know many are of various beliefs and some do not believe in god at all.. the question is: why does god not stop the suffering?

i watch so many suffer for no reason and no matter how i try to figure it out, i always come back to the fact that a loving parent would not allow their child to suffer needlessly.
