What would happen if a JW writes a book on evolution?
by Nobleheart ini don't know if that's ever happened: a jw writing a thesis, an article or even a book supporting the theory of evolution.
i know many jw don't have the needed qualifications for the above, but let's assume someone actually did that.
i know there are a few jw.

are you wondering
by TheLoveDoctor ini stepped down in feb last year.
i had time to read the whole bible once it took me 2.5 years then very recently it took me a year.
i did not find the bible very comforting, way to much condoned murder only some of jesus words were worth something and so much repetition.

Contraceptive question
by Nobleheart inok, this matter has troubled me for some time now.
jw aren't allowed to use the morning after pill, since it can cause an early abortion.
principle of sanctity of life comes to mind.. what about the regular pill?

i was happy in and i'm happy out
by never been happier incan i tell my story,briefly.
i spent 18 yrs on the ministry,11 of them as an unbaptised publisher,i refused to get baptised because the dedication was a vow to the society,not a vow to god as defined in scripture,this led to many many debates with the elders and i often raised the "millions now living will never die" issue and several other points but was always told about the "light getting brighter" and "imperfect men" but eventually i relented and jumped in the water.i wish now that i'd read bro franz's books,particularly crisis of conscience before doing that,would have saved many hours preaching false doctrines of men, as doctrines of god.but once i got on the internet and started researching....what,bro russell is buried with a huge pyramid,was into numerology,loved freemasons,had ancient egyptian symbols on his books,couldn't prophesy what the name of tomorrow would be,said jesus was already present since 1799,1874,1878,1914,1918,.. and the judge was even worse"1925 is even more clearly prophesied in scripture than 1914" "millions now living will never die"(recently re-written as millions now living may never die),built a lovely house beth sarim for the returning brothers to live in,but lived in it him self,and drove around in their car.then came the new name jehovahs witnesses,but jc said we would be witnesses of him ,and suffer because of his name,thats what christianity is.then 1935 and heaven was closed to new entrants until 2005 when 2 new bros were put on the gb who weren't even born in 1935.no one in my congregation batted an eye to it...but the doctrines were still true...weren't they????????
sorry but they have more holes than my watering can.. they resorted to quoting the johanas greber bible,written under trance by grebo and his spirit medium wife and used to back up the wts version of john 1:1.so jumping ahead,when i was pointed to the un deception(an organisation which hosts the temple of set in th un tower) it was time to bale out,simple as that.they won't hear anything i have to say but oddly they haven't called a judicial for me either.i was in my late 20's when i joined and i got my child-hood buddy into it about 10 yrs ago,but he now refuses to acknowledge me and he only lives 100yds away,and apart from 2 or 3 others thats it as far as contact goes.but the crucial saving for me was the fact that i always kept association with outside friends and my wife never joined so the change was much easier than some of you have had.ihaven't found a new church,yet,i loved god before the wts stuck their ore in and i still love god since i got out.

Does the WT use Bibles other than the NWT in other languages?
by dgp ini will very much appreciate help with this.. we know that the watchtower has translated the bible to many languages.
but i remember that ray franz mentions how witnesses in africa carried bibles in several african languages, and those were translations made by other christians.
is that still the case?

Question - Following in Jesus' footsteps
by Nobleheart ini've been reading many many stories in this site and others for the past few days.
some stories i've encountered were xbethelite memories.
what i read and i concur with what i've seen at bethel here (europe) is that "bethel heavies" or the old guard would have better accommodation, whereas newbies have much more modest rooms.
