Nothing tastes better than Freedom. I am an Ex JW and relishing every moment of life, to be free from a cult. Looking back I can only laugh at how silly my beliefs were, once. You too would experience the same.
Wishing all the best.
hi all.. it's being a while that i don't share in the forum.
after moving to another country and finding a job, i asked my congregation in my country to send my publishing card here.
once i did it, i stopped attending meetings.

there’s a lot.
i think one strange view is how only 144000 go to heaven.
since the number is mentioned in the symbolic book of revelation, you would expect that the number would be viewed as figurative, but jws say otherwise.
The strangest Belief for me to swallow was "Only JWs would survive the Great Tribulation". Any others, however good they may be, would be destroyed."

jesus—the way, the truth, the life.
Jesus is the Topper of all MYTHS. In that way I appreciate Jesus.

I remember Jesus riding on 2 donkeys. But the cover picture has only one. May be a spare one drawn at the back of the one being ridden ?
to the majority of people who investigate the activities of the wts from its beginning history there were obvious false proclamations and doctrines propagated by the wts.. a matter of fact the wts produced a long list of literature that posted proclamations on the front cover and went into detail of things that were suppose to happen, from jesus returning changing the world in which we live and so on.. wonderful things one might say but not factual or either theologically correct .

I have seen many staying in for several reasons, even though bombarded with so may failures.
Fear of Life and feeling Insecure.
Recognition.
Cant turn back as they have invested too much of their lives. EGO plays a role here as Venus said.
jehovah's witnesses insist that jephthah did not sacrifice his daughter to jehovah.
this is important to them because, rarther than jephthah just being a random bad person, jehovah was very much in on the deal.
after all, he made the promise to jehovah that he would "offer up as a burnt offering" on his return the first thing to come out of his house if jehovah would give the ammonites into his hands in battle, and since they were this makes jehovah complicit.. the isrealites had been getting a good thrashing of late, and the gilead elders (oh boy) had come out to ask jephthah, the rejected son of a prostitute (wouldn't you know it) and renown soldier, if he would lead the isrealites into battle for them.. this is when jephthah makes the deal with jehobo, and it all centres on the word for "burnt offering", which is given as "olah".
Thanks eyeuse2badub. This is one verse to meditate and throw up
Judges chap 19 vs 29: When he reached his house, he took the slaughtering knife and took hold of his concubine and cut her up limb by limb into 12 pieces and sent one piece into each territory of Israel
And JWs proudly say that they don't watch R rated movies and hate violence.
I believe with all certainty that Jephthah's daughter was burnt alive or at least this is what the Bible means .

Watchtower Corporation is a commercialized false prophet
As a first argument, there is nothing such as a "Prophet", because nobody can predict the future other than the Weatherman maybe , who in turn relies on science.
the life saving message of death and gloom brought to a town centre near to you!.
What a fine way to imitate Jesus.
Man Jesus, no body insults you like the JWs.
If we would ever show this picture to a JW, they would say its an apostate trick and neither of them are JWs
no early warnings or anything, just gone!
anyone else notice or are members there?
any info would be nice.
May be they returned to Jehovah. And all the angels including the little J rejoiced with a thundering applause, which I heard last week on a rainy day
Big J is speeding up his Chariot for sure.
