One scripture that got me thinking on my way to leaving...
by MrFreeze inwhen i was still in, i read a scripture that i think got me started on my route to leaving and not buying into the bs anymore.. for the longest time (ever since i was baptized) i wasn't exactly the beacon of a model brother in what i was really doing.
you could say i was leading a "double life".
my jw persona was holier than thou.

by Silent_Scream init has been said "the way to control people is to control information.
" it's very true in the jw org.
thats why on bible study sessions, people are usually excited to learn and see things in their bible they've never seen before!

Armaggeddon may occur invisibly

Wow, this bit of info surprised even me!!!
by LeKook ini just spoke to a witness friend (has been a witness 25+ years), who said that the elders in her congregation told her that witnesses had better be prepared to begin going door to door, not to announce "good news", but to denounce people who refuse to accept "the trvth".
has anyone else heard about this?
i thought it was a joke at first, but she said no, that's where the elders told her things were headed.
