What didn't you do because you were a JW that you now regret?

"twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do... explore.

Jephthah's Sacrifice of his Daughter - real or figurative "burnt offering?"
by B_Deserter inwhile reading richard dawkins' book "the god delusion," he talked about jephthah's sacrificial slaughter of his own daughter.
i was utterly shocked.
after all, "my book of bible stories" taught me that he sent her away to jehovah's service, like a nun or something.

I told my parents I no longer believe the Watchtower Society
by B_Deserter inthey insisted i come over for a debate, a chance for them to save me since according to my mother this was "a matter of life and death.
" basically i spent the whole evening passively nodding my head and acknowledging what they said.
i tried a few times to argue or debate but getting through to them was impossible.

JWs and Love towards their families
by R.F. inthis is something that just popped in my mind suddenly.. but i was thinking about over the years the many comments of jws about loved ones.
for instance, one sister was speaking of her disgust with her children not accepting the "truth".
she gladly tells anyone of what she told them; that if they don't accept it before armageddon that it's too bad.

'..simply for a contribution to cover the printing cost of the magazines...
by Gill indo you remember when we used to ask for a 'contribution that covers the printing cost' for the mags?.
was that ever the real cost of printing the mags?
afterall, we had to pay for the wretched things when we collected them, so was the wt society already making a profit from us foolish sheep which we then tried to recoup from the unsuspecting public.. were we conned?

by DawnLS620 ini must have missed this on my travels thru different x-dub sites, but i think i read something on here about their "new light" regarding the timing for armegeddon.
since its been over 30 years since 1975, how do they predict armegeddon now?
what do they tell new converts regarding the 1975 debacle?
