Non-JW seeking help

i've got a jw meeting with me every week.

she's been coming for 4 months.

i don't want to give up on her.

I've got a Jw meeting with me every week. She's been coming for 4 months. She is hard-core but so am I (Christ-follower). I don't want to give up on her. I just presented some material that she had never seen before and she explained it away saying they no longer follow some of the teachings of the founders. We mostly stray from the material when I ask questions about hot topics so we've only gotten to the third chapter in the What Does the Bible Really Teach? But today, I asked if we could not go off the material anymore. I told her I just wanted to read the BIBLE. She first plugged getting me into one of the bible studies, but then agreed to starting in Matthew next week.

We also discussed questioning our beliefs. I told her that if she was going to ask me to put my faith through the wringer then she should do the same. She agreed that truth is truth and it will stand up through any investigation.

I really need to hear from some ex-jws how you came out of the org and what lead you to question it. I know there is only so much I can do, but I'm inside right now and want to do the best I can before I get labeled "do not call".

two jws came knocking to my door.

instead of ingnoring the knock, i decided to answer.

with fixed smiles on their faces, one of the ladys offer me a flyer concerning the district convention.

Please help!!!!

I've been having a "bible study" at my house for 4 months now with a Jw. Just today I started presenting material from past sermons, etc. that conflict with what they have told me in the past. They, like your situation, said they don't follow what some of the founders taught in the beginning. I feel like I've tried every trick in the book to get them to see past the org. Can anyone tell me what first made you question your faith in the WT? I really love this woman; I'm not sure how much she really knows, she could be lying to me but I truly believe she is blind.
