i've already seen that debunked.. i am quite aware of the fact that the only evidence of jesus comes from his own followers who didn't even bother to write down his life for decades after jesus "died.

" don't know about you, but if i saw all that shit, i would have gone home and written three books about it that same day!.

Um.. hi, everyone

friends

...again.... ...despite the fact that i doubt anyone here will even really remember me, i actually feel kinda embarrassed coming back here after just up and stopping over a year ago with nary an explanation; its a long story... suffice it to say, my life kinda went to hell in a handbasket, but its a little bit back on track, now, plus my immediate family (excluding my devout jw mom) is just as out as me.

thats something.. i never stopped missing the conversations i had here, and started lurking again shortly before the wtss current shitstorm got started.

id forgotten my password, though, and only just figured out what it was again.. one thing about leaving jwn i feel really bad about was the fact that i made a really good friend in poopsiecakes, and then suddenly cut off all contact; i owe her a huge apology and a decent explanation (assuming shes ever willing to speak with me again).. .

gospel of jesus's wife is fake, claims expertscholar says papyrus fragment believed to provide evidence that jesus was married is a modern forgery.

I see God in the bible. How impressive he must be to have a prophesized about the fall of Jerusalem. Even more impressive he could not be bothered to maintain one manuscript from before the event. Truly, it is a marvel of divine power. Only an all powerful God could write prophesy after the fact and make it seem impressive.

Should i tell him what is really going on with me? I care about him so much.

by make yourself in

for some reason the doubts came lurking back again.

i know this religion is messed up because a person should not be having creeping doubts surface up like this.

i have not posted or logged on to this site in a very long time.

I think you should tell him. He needs to know about your issues and understand who you are as a person. If this is too much for him, then anything will be too much. Like LeavingWT said, do the research you need to understand why they are a false religion. You dont want to leave just to go back...
