  what's so good about it?

  99.9% of earth's population will be wiped off the planet.

  humm...(rubs chin with fingers) last time i checked, having over six billion men, women and children destroyed isn't so good.

  was there any particular event, teaching, experience where it all came together for you when you really questioned the "truth", or believed it wasn't it couldn't be god's organization?.

  Are we just being "sifted" out?

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is an expression all of us heard and read about in the wt.

  this is also an agrument someone used on me because i am not and have no desire to go to meetings.

  i for one believe this agrument that i as well as all of you are just being "sifted" out of "jehovah's organization" because we are "hard headed" is nothing more than a pile of crap.. .

  I outgrew the "truth"

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the saying goes, "you only live once".

  with that, after being a witness for 15 years it was just time to move on to something else.. .

  yes i believe the witnesses do not have the ultimate truth as they believe they do, which helped in my decision to move on.

  Were your prayers ever answerd by Jehovah?

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recall praying countless of times about very specific things, "worked in harmony with my prayers" and nothing.

  anything that remotely seemed like an answer was either coincidence or my own determination to get it done.. so, how about you?

  did jehovah answer your prayers or were you like me, did you feel very frustrated and guilty because they were never answered?
