Girl20 don't worry about offending anyone. You have to do what's good for yourself, not anyone here. If you decide to stay in or not, for your own personal reasons, no one should judge, nor should you be worried about what any of us think.

Sooo Armageddon comes....
by MsGrowingGirl20 inso let's say armageddon comes,do you believe that all jw's would be destroyed because jehovah knows it's a false religion...it can't be denied,for the most part,they try to live by the bible...if anybody has to be punished i would say it's the leaders...i know that god wouldn't judge a whole organization but persons individually....so what i'm trying to ask is....do you think you're in a better position right now not for freedom but for salvation than the witnesses??
if by the time you're finished reading this post armageddon is here...would u wish that you still were a witness or are you satisfied that you've made god proud?.

Girl20,
Firstly, I think you need to ask yourself, why have you now started questioning the WTS. You need to figure out your own motivations. Was it because you were happy in the Org., then you read Rays book that swayed you. Were you already having personal doubts. Did you hear the rumors, investegated and found it to be true or false. There are many questions you need to ask yourself, First.
Now getting back to your question, which I can't answer because he will judge on an individual basis. I know the bible warns me to not be taken in my lies as to when the christ has arrived, or twisted teachings. I know the bible says one will know them by their works, not by hypocrasy.
I'm at a cross roads, myself. The funny thing (joke) about this is, instead of me wanting to run away from the message, I've lately been more drawn to it. So what do I do? Go back to a religion that has peddled dogma that has been proven to be false to the flock and the worldy masses? Do I honestly put my trust in this and also go door to door and preach certain lies to the masses? And not only false dogma, but they have proven false by the hypocrasy to the flock and to the masses. It doesn't make sense to me. So is my salvation based on preaching falesly to the masses? Do you think my salvation is pending on this? So what do I do....??
To top if off, do you know what the biggest fear of JWs and interest is? Armageddon and their own salvation. I hardly ever hear simply wanting a better way of life or doing it out of love for their maker. I know this, because I hear it all the time.
At this point Armageddon sounds like a real drag, but I'm more interested in a better way of life with my maker and other people.
Maybe that's why the Chirst is coming again, he knew he would have to set things straight......

KH and Gold Scam part 2
by iamwhoiam inat our hall..we were given a 0% loan for remodel as long as we paid it back in a very short period of time.
and even though the building has long been paid for by the congregation and yet our reserves were low, inorder to get that loan, we were to turn over hall ownership to the society.
since the congregation had to vote on it, and no one is going to raise thier hand against, it got passed.

Once a loan like that is paid back in full to the WTS, does a congregation get their KH back from the WTS?

Jehovah's Witnesses can donate blood
by Marvin Shilmer injehovah’s witnesses can donate blood.
today i added a new article to my blog that answers the question of whether watchtower doctrine forbids jehovah’s witnesses from going to their community blood bank and donating some of their blood to help replace all the products from blood accepted on a daily basis by the community of jehovah’s witnesses.. .

Thank You steve2
Yes, I can see what you mean. What a percarious situation.
When I recently started researching the WTS, I was shocked to find out even fractions were alowed, because of the WTS hard line blood stance for years.

can someone explain to me, what does the WTS mean by stating that from their understanding "in many situations, many blood donors would be needed to get a sufficent amout of required fraction for treatment"?
So are they saying according to one's conscious, it's ok to get blood from many other people to attain a required fraction? Am I missing something? It's hard for me to enlarge the print from this letter in order to read the rest. I hate when that happens.

Great read!
I dunno, I still feel the book of Revelation is out of place. It's seems this John, not apostle John, was inflamed in some sort of trance...

1 timothy 1:4-7
4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. 5 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.

One can still do serious research and investigation, and still have as the question as Girl20. Indoctrination into the WTS is a heavy mind f**k. Some of you need to be a bit more sensitive.
One goes to meetings year after year. You have hope in a new system of things. You are practically imobilized with terror of the world. You are practially imobiliezed with terror of the end of the world. You want to do the right thing out of love for your creator. You sacrifice much. Though some feel it's better out in the world, to others it's a huge loss and dissapointment.
But newbees also have to understand, many here are jokesters. After awhile, being so serious about something that has been a shitstorm of lies and dissapointment, one needs to have a joke or 1000 about the whole thing.
