i recently made the decision to stop studying with my study conductor, due to a situation i found myself in that led to a high possibility of my unbaptized publisher "rights" being taken away from me.
i have since told my study conductor i have joined a new church (to which she dropped me like a hot rock, of course).... last time i posted on here, i was progressing nicely towards baptism, and was well into it.anyhoo, i like my new church, very hillsong-esqe.
so just wondering if anyone else has stayed the course of christianity after leaving the jws, and if so - where did you go?
I came out of the JW cult and did a research on religions and discovered that there is nothing such as a God.
Since then, whenever I get a chance, I participate in any open religious ceremonies, for the sake of people and for merely fun. Love Church Choirs and songs.
just a brief history of me.
me and my wife got baptized into the jw cult in 1997. we were both protestants before and in fact it was me who dragged her into the cult.
during 2009, another jw friend of mine raised suspicions about his research on the blood and 607 bc theories.
Thank you HoodwinkedToo. Is there any particular part on this Video which I could point out. Sorry I didn't watch this yet.

During 2009, another JW friend of mine raised suspicions about his research on the Blood and 607 BC theories. It happened that I found TTATT and stopped going to meetings in 2010. By 2011, I submitted my dissociation letter to the Cult and had never turned back. Am a hard core atheist now. What else ?
Every now and then I try to sow seeds of truth to my wife about TTATT. But she shuts down as Usual as a cult member.
Today she said that an elder in her congregation likes to visit me this Saturday , to invite me for the memorial. I gladly said yes, because this is the only chance to discuss TTATT in her presence as she too would accompany the elder’s conversation with me.
I am planning to start off with John 6:54 where Jesus says that everyone should partake in the Emblems. Then I plan to move on to Blood Issues, UNO, and those whole bunches of WT non senses and Flip Flops.
I already have a few visits during the past years like this where the elders came to visit me to revive me and it all had been lengthy conversations. I am confidant that I may have sowed seeds of doubts in their minds.
Any advises to me as to what I can discuss this time?
to illustrate how the botchtower's groupies are losing brain cells...last year an elder told me some of the increase in the anointed is due to those who have been unfaithful and needed to be replaced.
when i was in first grade i knew that if i had 10 marbles and i lost one and a friend gave me a marble to replace the one i lost that i once again had 10 not 11 marbles.. jdubs are very good at not thinking..
May be Jah is stocking up replacements now, in case any of the 144K would disobey or sin in the new world. The bad apple would be quickly destroyed and replaced with the back up.
Strategic planner Jah.
this morning my doorbell rang.
i opened the door thinking it was a package delivery person or local politicians thanking my community for voting in yesterday's election.
there was a middle aged man standing by himself.
Invitation for an ancient cannibalistic Ritual, observed in the most funniest way possible. (No body eats or drinks it and passes it around).
I think the person who invited, Knew this.
i get it, not a fan of yahweh the desert god.
but what about jesus?
anything wrong with his teachings like the sermon on the mount and the example he set.
Jesus never wrote a word about himself, while he was on the most important Mission to earth. Weird?
He is the Almighty for Christendom and the mighty God for JWs. Yet, He never explained about microorganisms, root cause of diseases, Human Physiology or our solar system or the Universe, which would have proved his divinity. He only (supposedly) spoke about the day to day affairs during those times – Love your neighbor, forgiveness, Slaves, Donkeys and Stuff.
There is no Corroborative evidence, outside the Bible, that he ever existed.
All his miracles do not have any tangible evidence for later generations to verify
All his Promises have failed. Like … He would return soon during the then generation.
He repeatedly said that whatever we ask in his name would be granted. Can we ask him to cure terminally sick people today?
He never condemned slavery. When Abraham Lincoln could free slaves, why couldn’t Jesus.
And most above all, he advised his followers to love him more than their families and to ditch their family and come after him. I hate him for this, if he had really existed and said this.
Christians say that he paid the Price for sin. Really.. then why does the world remain the same until today, with all miseries.
And he advocated “My way or no way” which was the cause of all religious wars - at least the crusades, Inquisitions and forcible conversions
what do you think would happen to jehovah's witnesses as a religion and as a people?.
I had a die hard JW friend who may commit suicide or end up in a mental institution, if the religion gets dissolved.
How many would be there like this. That is my concern.
perhaps this has been linked here before.
if that's the case, i'm sorry.
however, new people join, others miss things, some forget, so i thought it was worth posting, especially since this issue comes up from time to time and some here have never worked it out or are in the process of trying to do so.
Then why the Heck Believe in him
