I was a JW convert for just 11 years.
When I started to know TTATT(The Truth about the Truth), it took me a year to realize and convince myself that Christmas and Birthdays are NOT Evil.
Do not under estimate the power of Cults

I have a christian relative of mine, who is highly educated, that doesn't believe the moon landings but in all honesty believes the Red sea parting, Jesus walking on water.....
Next time she brings up this subject, I think I should involve more deeply with this.

Great book for any JWs or potential converts (Who are bold enough to read it). Very interesting and mature all along. I feel the author Ray Franz provided 100% transparency about the inner workings of the WT, during that time.
I bought this book twice as my JW wife trashed the first one and reported to the elders about it, who came on an interrogation visit, where I confessed reading it
The Next time I bought it, I made a deal with my wife that if this book stays in the house, then the WT Publications would stay. Deal done. And here I am as a Happy and Free Atheist.

Resurrection to Heaven
by Lost in the fog inct russell said the dead would be resurrected to heaven from 1874-1881.. then the judge decided that it was not 1874/5 for the return of christ but 1914, so moving the heavenly resurrection forward to be from 1914-1918.. in truth nobody knows when it happens or happened.
just because the watchtower leadership says something in the printed word doesn't mean that it is true.
zion's watchtower 1881, january.

I have seen CT Russel's Pyramid tomb in Pennsylvania.
Would his remains be still in or Disappeared as in "Jesus Resurrection" style. Just Curious.

Just stop attending meetings. A few would come to pull you back in. Say you are busy. I did this and it worked without much repercussions.
The move and Pub card transfers - just to escape WT - are not worth it. Its still Playing their game.

Moses, Soloman spoke to the entire assembly of Israel...How???
by James Mixon inmoses spoke to the entire assembly deuteronomy 31:3, leviticus19:2 and exodus 16:9 no sound amplification, we must remember he was speaking to 2 million people.
solomon in 2 chronicles spoke to thousands maybe millions, so how the hell did folks a mile away hear..you need a sound system for 200 folks in a close building in the kh.... moses, solomon and others had a great set of vocal cords.....

tor1500, As per my knowledge, Vengeance and violence In the bible overrides the little love it contains
To be a Christian, we have to reject or provide unscrupulous justifications for the Atrocities contained in the Bible.

Annoying jws
by Jrjw ina 'concerned' jw in my congregation rang me earlier and said she's noticed my daughter sits miserable at the meetings and said she's a right miserable girl in general.
i said she's happy and hyper when she's not at the meetings they're just really boring and she doesn't want to be there.
apparently i'm a bad parent coz she feels that way.

When Brother A annoyed me like this , for putting in less hours in FS, I sarcastically said "Look Brother A, I am sinful and imperfect as the Bible says and cant be as perfect and righteous as You"
He got the message and was a little hurt too. I didn't care.

Forget the Christian Doom and Gloom Messages - Does the evidence show the humans are better or worse off?
by fulltimestudent inwhat does the evidence show?.
"...two distinguished scholars have tried to introduce a little reality into the debate about the world's trajectory.
swedish intellectual johan norberg and harvard university's steven pinker provide a persuasive antidote to the apocalyptical school of journalism.

Most Probably, I would have died in my infant stages due to Malaria, Typhoid, Cholera or TB, or by any other UNKNOWN communicable disease, had I been born 200 years earlier.
A rough estimate is that 25 million people in Europe died from plague during the Black Death in the 14th Century. People suffered pathetically and died without knowing the cause and reasons.
Thanks and I owe my life to those Medical inventors who discovered those diseases and found a remedy for it. Not ashamed to call them as GODS.
