How Do you Count How Long You Were In "The Truth?"
by IWant2Leave inif you were born in, do you count from the year of your birth, when you gave your first presentation at the door, (i was five),.
when you became an unbaptized publisher, (i was about 12), or when you dedicated your life to god,(org) and took the plunge?
what could you have done with all of this time?

I vaguely rember something about an Elders wife who was a friend of ours saying something about how Jehovah has blessed them in selling their house ,and my wife just responded to her "well its good for some isnt it "
and that stopped her in her tracks.

Since You Have Left The Religion Are You Happier?
by minimus ini realize that some activist exjws really don’t seem to be happy in life.
they finally got away from the organization and yet seem still negatively connected to it.
some exjws are always upset because of what the “truth “ did to their lives, which is understandable.

When i was a JW I was happy beleiving what i did.Why wouldn`t one be .? looking forward to such a wonderful prospect in life ?
Coming to grips about TTATT I am happy I am no longer deluded into beleiving such a pie in the sky fantasy.
And I am enjoying living a life free from fear of a God whose going to zap me because I dont meet up with the GB restrictions in life that they would weigh me down with.

The Last Day
by johnamos in[7-1-98 wt – martha said of her dead brother, lazarus: “i know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (john 11:24) how did she know that?
…she might even have learned this from jesus himself.
(john 6:39 - this is the will of him who sent me, that i should lose none out of all those whom he has given me, but that i should resurrect them on the last day.

What about overlapping last days ? surely that`s the next new light .
Humans die because of sin right ?
The Bible in Romans 6:23 states " For the wages sin pays is death "
Lazarus died and was freed from the Adamic/ Eve sin .
So when Lazarus was resurrected to life ,what scriptual reason is there for him to have died again ? Since he was now free from the Adamic/Eve sin ?

Has anything from a meeting/ Platform caused you to laugh at the bull present?
by Overrated ini was at a sunday meeting an the speak was going on and on how the org does good for people in public.

Like they claim they are a "Not for Profit" Religion yet make Millions of $$$$$ in Real Estate sales all over the world.
What other religion do you know of that is selling property they own anywhere near as much as the WT/JW`s are currently doing ?
