Wasting PRECIOUS time !?!
by JNS2 ini was just feeling guilty wasting all this time reading these threads, new & old.
but then it occurred to me how much time i spent going to 5 meetings a week, going in field service, studying & preparing, getting dressed up & travelling back & forth to the kh for more than two decades.
i have a long way to go to catch up!!!.

Not enough proper investigation.
by JNS2 inlast night there was a true story about a man who killed his wife by setting up another man, getting him to come to their house.
he murdered both the wife & the other man.
the police immediately thought the guy was innocent so they closed the case right away.

Did you ever want to 'cross your heart' as a kid?
by Beck_Melbourne inwhat are some of things you were deprived of as a jw kid that were not all that bad??
i remember when other kids would say 'cross your heart or hope to die' as an act of truthfulness.
i don't know the origin...but it seemed harmless enough.

What if............
by freedom96 inthe wts always taught that there is absolutely no life anywhere in the universe except here on earth..
because the bible doesn't talk about it, therfore it don't exist.. seems to me that is rather poor logic.
i was talking to a friend of mine the other day, who is spiritually minded.

What about praying NOW???
by JNS2 innow that my decision to leave the organization is made, there is definitely a sense of relief.
i know i'm leaving a controlling organization, not my faith in god.
so i'm still praying at various times during the day, but it has become a very odd thing now.

The power of belief systems
by donkey inmost of us here have been jw's.
most of us believed it was the truth.
inherent in that is the belief that we would be persecuted and this would be one of the signs that we were the true religion.

Why did I fall away from the truth???
by JNS2 inno, i don't think it is the "truth" any more, but for 22 years i did.
that is what makes this so very difficult to come to grips with, admitting that i wasted all that time as a mindless drone.
(borg) anyway, i've been trying to analyze why i have fallen away.

The Garden of Eden
by JNS2 inwhen i started studying with the jws, the matter of whether the genesis account should be taken literally was glossed over quickly.
i think it was one of those "it'll be clearer later on, so let's continue with the study at hand".
it really was an issue for me even from the beginning because my work has always been in the science field.
