Are These the Last Days?
by individual indoes anyone who has left the organisation still feel that these are the last days?
all down through history people have wanted to feel that they live in special times - are jws just an extension of this?
for me the biggest problem with this theory of the last days has been the distinct lack of earthquakes since 1914, a quote from the book signs of the times revisited says "as more and more seismographs are installed in the world, more earthquakes can be and have been located.

Where Do I Go Now?
by individual inwith all the problems in the 'truth' and all the things that we know are wrong with it there seems to be aspects of their theology (i.e the sequences of the world powers, statue in daniel, the promise of world restoration again found in daniel) that to me still make sense.
although i cannot follow a religion that believes in the destruction of all humanity barring those that respond to their own preaching work i still believe in a creator and cannot accept the teachings of other religions that have no purpose for the earth and believe that mankinds only destiny is in heaven.
my mind keeps telling me that if god was behind a religion it would be so much better than that of the jws.

The WTs Biggest Deceptions
by individual ini was just wondering what do the members of this board think the biggest deception in the teaching of the watchtower society is?.
one of the biggest deceptions for me, one that stuck like a thorn in my side was their deception on earthquakes, hence my previous thread on the last days.
the wts, as i recall, published supposed proof of the increase in earthquakes since 1914. i was so angry when i found out that this was an outright lie.

Who was the Strangest on the Doors?
by individual inyes, who was the strangest person you ever met in the field service, or what was the strangest experience?
i once met a man who claimed that he had invented everything, including the hovermower, the hovercraft and the xylophone.
he said he created the hovermower out of dustbin lids attached to an old lawnmower.

Psychological Impact
by individual init is said by jws that 'the truth' never leaves you.
even when you have broken free, you will still be haunted by it, watching the news just in case they were right.
have any of you had these feelings?

You're Doomed!
by individual inabout 3 years ago we had one of those 'lovely' visits from the co. for his main talk he decided to encourage us out into the field, to do more on the ministry.
i don't know who his motivational instructor was but he might as well of stood in front of us at the hall with a machine gun.
the main point of his talk was "you only do one hour a month?
