What the heck is wrong with my freind?
by Strider Arekksu inwell, i already posted about the jws clearly having thier doctrine just crap.
but i told my friend and it seems like it's just not getting through.
like he will say he'll look into it, but he really won't or i'll give him a 12 page paper that is 3/4th scripture countering nay destroying a jw doctrine out of the reasoning book and he won't do anything... just blank out.

Another question!
by Strider Arekksu ini'm sorry for asking so many, but i guess it's hard for me to not ponder about things like these.
ok the people at the top of the wts are crooks in it for the money right?
they use an organization that preaches about a god that has justice for those who are weak at heart.

Anyone feel like this?
by Strider Arekksu ini remember i was not always very good at social settings, i was good at analyzing them but bad at participating them, i am always in my head so its hard for me to get influenced by people if i don't get a good feel for them, so it's hard to brainwash me i guess.
when i was in this organization, i knew the tactis they were using in the paragraphs and the way they were writing were ways to trap people mentally, but i just shrugged it if off, i just made excuses, and literally thought, i'll deal with this pothole latter, i got brought in through my grandma, so i never was literally convinced that it was right.
i always remembered when the question "will witnesses be the only ones saved" came up, they gave shady answers, which meant yes, but they didn't want to say it, and knew it didn't make sense and wasn't scriptual.

Can some one help me?
by Strider Arekksu inhi, after my grandma past who was in this religion, i was an idiot, and i stayed in the religion as i thought it was the only way to see her again.
my dad stressed because he was inactive but busy supporting our family.she was faithful to the religion, becase like saul she thought she was doing the right thing.. being "black" it was hard for us to support the house we bought in the suburban area.
the dead beat jobs that i could get after high school were not acceptable to me, and i would surely lose my patience with people espeically if i hated the job and was getting paid near minimum wage.

Did leaving the WT build greater appreciation for or kill your reading of the Bible?
by lepermessiah ini am really on the fence on this issue right now and would love some opinions.. i find that i dont sit down and read the bible for long periods since becoming inactive, but on the other hand, individual scriptures mean much more to me now.. i will sit down and look up some favorite passages from time to time and feel like its the first time i really "got it" - without the jw goggles on.
i love matthew chapter 23, since i think it describes to a tee the situation in jw congregations.
i think if jesus returned today, he would blast the elders and "leaders" of the borg in a similar fashion (along with most religious leaders) .matthew 24 is actually more interesting to me now, simply because my whole life was waiting for the 1914 generation to end sometime during the reagan era!

I feel... lost...
by Strider Arekksu in(sorry for mispellings, i am emotionally frustrated right now) *sigh* i recently have slowly been, not interested in the 'orginazational' routine of the jws.
i have done personal research on the world, some secrets the government hide from the naive and all that good stuff.
i'm pretty confident something bad is going to happen like the jw doctrine states.

making friends in the troof
by Psychotic Parrot ini always found this really difficult... is it just me?
the ones i always got on best with were the worldly ones, and i've found making friends in the weld much easier than in the troof... although in the fairness to the weld, it does offer more choice.... sometimes i think that even if i belived in gawd i probably wouldnt go back to the troof... better off in the 'dying' weld....
