I must admit, I have soooo many questions to ask God, if he lets me. I find it important to myself, not to lose faith in God, no matter how many of these horror stories you hear. But I do question these deaths.Hard after leaving the JW 2 yrs. ago after 40 plus years on and off. My brain keeps switching to Matthew 24 with all the Earthquakes and related natural horrors being related to the times, but since the beginning of time these things have occurred. Sometimes it does seem only the good die young. I just don't know.

The Watchtower Society is drop dead gorgeous.
by edmond dantes insometimes in my mind i go back to the beginning of my jw experience which for me was a very long time ago when i got really excited when the awake and watchtower came through the letter box after i paid for a yearly subscription, just to cover the printing costs you understand.in those far off days long gone in my gullible inexperienced just finished school days i really thought here was a religion to believe in ,to trust,to tell the entire world about and to show others the pretty pictures of the new world as depicted in the books and magazines.at that time i would have literally given my life in order to get through armaggedon.i really thought it was the greatest and only true religion on the planet and in my naive young mind i thought we were living with all the other brothers and sisters in a truly new world society,no more fighting for your countries wars,no more adultary,lying ,cheating,envy, money grabbing, murder etc.just the thought of holding on untill the big a .
and i couldn't for the life of me see why everyone who i spoke to about it wouldn't believe in the message of the watchtower.i thought the assemblies depicted how we would all get along with love in the new world.thats how daft i was.. then one day a seed of doubt entered my mind which at first i dismissed as the devil leading me astray this devil concept was also backed up by a brother , a congregational overseer,telling me it was so.i thought he was right until i discovered that due to his doubts he had stopped going to the meetings ,and then i was introduced to another brother who was classed as spiritually week even though he had refused to go into the millitary and went to prison, he came out of prison with doubts about the so called truth.i thought to myself how can someone be so convinced about his beliefs that he would go to prison for it and then suddenly realise he had been wrong.. then i gradually grew wiser and older ,the scales began to drop from eyes as i witnessed at first hand a hell of a lot of hypocrisy within the so called clean organisation.i went on to learn about beth sarim and the many changes of doctrine which resulted in new light and many, many examples of the lack of true love and care within the so called new world society.
all they were interested in was how many hours you managed to put in each week and whether you were in the clique.the list of reasons not to believe grew endless until at last just as you can fall out of love with someone the love evaporated it just vanished into thin air never to return, and i wonder sometimes where does love go when it drops down dead.. and i realise that without true substance being in love with something or for that matter someone is a figment of the mind.. .

More Evidence that Jehovah Is a Tyrant
by WTWizard ini have observed that jehovah god is far from the loving father he portrays himself to be.
stifling my sex drive, and then exploiting it by using it to get me into a cult, hardly qualifies god as being loving.
and neither does continuing to stifle the sex drive after i am trying to leave the cult and quite likely using the hounders to reclaim me as their slave.. i found another web site that any theist should urgently look up before looking into any religion, whether jehovah's witnesses or any other "christian" or islam religion.

Why I will NEVER be an elder again
by stillajwexelder inso the po confirmed what many on this board already know.
at latest round of co to elders meeting, the co quoted from the society outline.
any elder or ms who encourages college for his kids or others or who allows his children to go to college will no longer qualify.. he then asked if i was going to take the cos encouragement and reach out again to be an elder and get my hours on the ministry up.. i replied "i will never be an elder again - i strongly approve of further education and college and have been through college myself.

I did not go to college because of the witness doctrine. Now I'm pushing 59 and fairly poor. Which is ok, however, I would have loved to had a degree in something I wanted to do. 148 I.Q. waisted.

baptism
by logic inin acts 1:5 it says that john baptised in water, but that who he was talking to would hereafter be baptised in holy spirit.
does that mean that they would not be baptised in water thereafter?

I believe we can just baptise each other with the right words and spirt.

Misleading advice at the Hall.
by edmond dantes inwords of wisdom at the kingdom hall went something like " don't marry for looks because looks fade.
" what i want to know is if the person you married turns out to be a crabby old miserable so and so how do you cope with ugly personality plus ugly looks.i mean if you marry a looker at least you have enjoyed some vision of delight, if you get stuck with both you are in a double bind.

40 years ago it was "MARRY IN THE LORD" only....they meant they're Lord, of course...meaning only some other JW!
