i live in mi and was raised a jw.

i left officially in 05, but my thinking had evolved before then.. if you're at this board, you're probably asking questions, or have asked questions and realized that the answers are not what you had thought they were.. if you're looking at this profile, you probably read one of my posts.. i suppose there is only one thing i would want anyone to know:.

it won't replace the years you believe you lost to the organization.. live your life that you have now and enjoy it.. often this means making a new life.

i'll start with a couple.....jws believe that everything in revelation is symbolic except the number 144,000.. jws believe that donating blood is wrong.

i am looking for information on the beliefs of jehovah's witness i do not know much and i am afraid that most of what i am finding is biased information one way or the other.

i did find a "fact sheet" and i am wondering if all of it is true or not.

i looked at the watchtower website for answers to a few of these and so far i am finding them to be true.

i 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?
