by confuzzled777 inafter almost 2 years of being wrongfully disfellowshipped and over a year after finding this site....i am starting to read crisis of conscience.

college info
by man in black inthis past week i have noticed the witnesses sitting in the student area of the college where i work.. the people sitting there are young, and seemingly full of the haughty, "we are right" mentality.. the school prints a paper and i was considering writing a letter to the editors about how the wtbts discourages people from attending.
college.
i feel that it would make a big impact, since they are sitting there, looking for new members at a college !.

Why are letters from John and Paul included in the Bible?
by Lore ini don't see much difference between paul writing a letter to the corinthian congregation and the gb writing a letter to the timbucktoo congregation.. is what paul wrote to the ephesians just as fallible and subject to 'new light' as the letters the wts writes to congregations today?.
if a letter from the governing body today which says it's immoral to have an organ transplant can be dead wrong and changed later.
can the letter from paul which says it's wrong to eat blood be dead wrong and subject to change later?.

Yaweh is a nasty bully.
by snare&racket ini can't believe i used to worship such a horrid deity.
why did we never question it when he was so obviously evil.
if you disagree even after leaving, there is no way to explain away these commands/laws/ condoning actions of this disgusting man made god.. exodus 21:2-6. leviticus 25:44-46. exodus 21:7-11. proverbs 29:21. proverbs 29:19. zechariah 13:7-9 .
