Top 10 reasons why JWs don't have the truth - please contribute
by oldlightnewshite ini thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.
maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.
if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.

When did you stop supporting the WT with $$$ ??
by wobble ini stopped whilst still an active witness, just cancelled my direct debit and told myself i would put money in the box to cover things like literatrash and heat and light sometimes, and sometimes i did , but that dropped off.. the thing is, i cannot really pin down what my motive was at the time, i still thought then that it was god's org.. but i just stopped giving them money.
why ?

how many in your cong had nervous breakdowns?
by highdose inof the congregation i spent my life in i would say a good 75% had nervous breakdowns at some point.
and often there was never really a obivous reason for it.
well not that we jw's could understand at the time.. even the queen bee's/ elderettes were not immune to this.. what about you?.

An Overlooked Detail of Armageddon
by cameo-d inwhy has it been passed down to us that the word 'armageddon' refers to meggido?
who came up with that and stamped and approved it as a translation?
i am not sure if jws buy into that same interpretation...so maybe you all can fill me in.. .

Please join in praying the freedom of Jehovah's Witnesses. Part one
by Marie B. Paraison ina pastor of the seventh-day adventist church asked me what babylon the great is.
i would like to share the answer with you since this is in the interest of every bible student.. .
he answered and said, " i was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of israel" (matthew 15:24).. jesus/yeshua also said: "and other sheep i have which are not of this fold; them also i must bring, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd: ( john 10:16).. the jews found quite a number of the remarks uttered by jesus/ yeshua repugnant.
