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.

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?

The Cost of 'The Truth'
by individual injust thinking ..... having read posts from youknow concerning the impending financial destruction of the system it strikes me that he and other witnesses have a very strong desire for the system to end even looking for ways in which it could happen.
they will clutch at any straw, salivating at the prospect of their imagined reward.. at the meetings last year at the time of the petrol crisis in the uk witnesses were eager to discuss the possibility that this was the start of the tribulation, there was a real buzz of excitement that this could be it!
now ... the question is this, does the 'truth' cost you your humanity because not one of them gave a stuff for their neighbours, worldly friends, relatives or even any of the people in the street.

New Light and the UN
by individual inhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?d=9882&site=3#117571.
the link above is from a thread in bible reseach posted by bible examiner last month concerning impending new light on the 'disgusting thing standing in a holy place' and how it is no longer going to be the un but has had its fulfillment completely in the first century.
this apparently was from a talk given by a circuit overseer.. why this is interesting is because, at the time the information concerning the un and the wt was not widely known on this site.

Fear Kept Me In
by individual indoes anyone remember the organisation in the 1980's, how the things that they said seemed to fit so perfectly with the world that existed at that time?
their ideas and prophecies as seen at that time seemed to be correct and everything was falling into place.
i was a teenager at that time and the 'truth' had a very profound effect on me, i saw my family leave the org.

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.

The Great Crowd - It Doesnt Add Up...
by individual inrevelation 7:9 - after these things i saw, and look!
a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the lamb.. watchtower 1st jan 1997. the harvest, indeed is great, but the workers are few.
therefore beg the master to send out workers into his harvest.

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.
