your religion is false.. householder: false?
you see, the "truth" of our religion is self-evident in our beliefs.
witness: well, the bible does say that.
Thats good

ok, i've come up with another new religion idea.
everytime i do this someone says it's already been thought of and is called, neo-classical-buddhist, part hindu realist modern reincarnationism.
anyway, my new idea is that you die and come back into your own universe... where everyone who is born resembles your character, ethics and morals within certain limits from your previous life.
Im a good person. Therefore, in this imaginary fantasy, Im going to be ok.
the lady i studied with asked if it would be okay if she still brought the magazines by.
i said of course because i do love the awake and watchtower.
well, when she came by last week, she gave me the mags and then as we stood around chit-chatting, i realized we were basically still having the study, only we were standing up instead of sitting in the living room.
Took me monthes to pluck up the courage to end my study, after 6 years. Like you, I felt I didnt want to hurt her feelings.
I sent a text with my heart in my mouth..........
She said Jehovah gives us free will blah blah blah and a few other stuff, then..................NOTHING HAPPENED!
The sky didnt fall in, my heart didnt stop, smurfs didnt take over the world............................................ I cant describe the relief later that day....
You have to sever the ties once and for all. She will soon forget about you.
And you will go on.
Best, wishes Paula x

this quote is from the watchtower 1980 8/1.
"are you profoundly shocked and unduly disturbed when you see or hear of a christian you know yielding to doubts, cooling off and perhaps even becoming rebellious to the point of deserting the christian congregation and trying to draw others away with him?
if so, you may be comforted in knowing that, sad as such occurrences may be, the scriptures forewarn us that they will happen.. among the various causes of apostasy, one of the foremost is unquestionably a lackoffaith through doubt.
Agree with Nickolas......youve posted A LOT of threads in a short time, may I ask, whats your story?

Happy 5th Anniversary to you Opened Mind!
