  I went to meetings for 9 months of pregnancy and 3 months with a newborn and I could have just waited for most of that time?

  Crap.

  LOL

  Not me. They said that they had to wait a year. I think it ended up helping me to rely on the org less though.

  "Flawed Faith vs. Loss of Faith"

  below is a quote from a recent thread at the channel c forum that caught my attention.

  it llustrates how the exit strategy for some awakened jws must include a religious alternative.

  this particular individual is particularly concerned that jw children will become godless, upon learning that wt is not the only true religion.

  The JWs serve a false god who is bloodthirsty, harsh and demanding, with no humility, subjecting his people to mental abuse, denying them happiness, and teaching them to hate others. I would rather my kids serve no god at all.

  The JW idea of faith is to never receive real help from their god, to never be sure if you will make it to their false hope of the new world that will still separate the "right" people (heaven and earth) and destroy all of the others. You prove your faith by subjecting yourself to more and more abuse and giving up more and more of yourself.

  The God that I have come to know doesn't just sit back and watch you stumble and claw your way towards him and punish you if you don't make it far enough or quickly enough. As for faith, my God is with me to help me every day and has assured me of my salvation.

  Flawed faith? No thanks.

  evil, out-of-control people

  I didn't see that at all. I didn't follow the link though.

  Jesus did not send us to correct and leave but rather to correct and save. Too many young have been left to find their own way in the darkness, this is not Christian.

  I agree.

  And this is why I have returned to the Witnesses.

  WHAT!!!!

  Flawed faith, lack of faith, no difference. Both keep us away from a relationship with Christ. At least with a lack of faith...

  At least my nieces and nephews have loving families and are getting an education and/or being themselves. I would never want them to return to that cult! They could be repressed, cut off from loved ones, condemned, and in abusive relationships. Save your kids from this evil cult please!

  Unless there is a strong Christian in the household who, contrary to popular exJW opinion, is a strong Christian from the first step out the gate of JWism,

  WOOT!

  Couldn't resist!

  designs... there are some ex-JWs that eventually lose faith in the Bible, but most of them left the organization because of seeing that the org does not in fact follow it.

  Jehovah's Witnesses believe in their religion because they believe that it is based on the Bible. Shatter that.

  You’ve Got Mail! TM

  dont you love getting emails from friends and relatives, even if it is a chain email?

  at least someone thought about you and cared enough to send you an email.

  if you were a new convert, active jw, a jw with doubts, or an ex-jw struggling to live without jw family/friends, how would you feel about receiving one of my friendly, innocent emails?

  WE CAN DO THIS....if you think the idea is as good as I do!

  i have long had an idea that i think is a very powerful tool in reaching even hard-nosed jw's.. .

  it would consist only of actual photographic scans of various documents, articles, photographs such as these from marvin shilmer's blog: (see next panel).

  there would be no extraneous non-official text whatsoever.. it would be published the size of an old life magazine and sent anonymously to jw's at their homes.. the cover would clearly contain the words: "all contents originally published by watchtower bible &tract society".

  Deep down they smell a rat. Deep down they already know, but on the surface they are kidding themselves into thinking the pull towards the magic of Armegeddon is stronger.

  Yes. Me too. When I finally broke free, I was preaching to everyone online but not attending meetings because I knew that they made me depressed.
