How many ex-jws poster here now believe in Hellfire, immortality of soul, trinity, etc;
by booker-t ini am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.
especially hellfire.
i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.

A Question For the Guys...

i'll start the ball rolling by saying that i made some changes that i really like.
i'm down to two suits and they are only for job interviews and perhaps some solemn occasion.

by Joey Jo-Jo inhttp://www.smh.com.au/world/religious-groups-reject-ruling-on-circumcision-20120628-2159v.html.

Just wanted to say...
by tec in... how truly great this place is.. i have not been on many forums, but i think this one is unique and strong in a very important way.
it is of course a support group for those exiting the wts, or trying to deal with remaining within it, first and foremost.
but the awesome thing about this place is how it welcomes everyone.

the last 5 or 6 years of me being a jw, i did not have a very good go of it.
one thing i actually did enjoy was going to the international convention.

Josephus says the temple lay desolate for 50 years
by JWB injosephus says the temple lay desolate for 50 years.
"these accounts agree with the true history in our books; for in them it is written that nebuchadnezzar, in the eighteenth year of his reign, laid our temple desolate, and so it lay in that state of obscurity for fifty years; but that in the second year of the reign of cyrus, its foundations were laid, and it was finished again in the second year of darius.
" - extract from "flavius josephus against apion" 1.21. .
