Thanks people. I remember a scripture now that says something like 'if you are no part of the world, the world will hate you'. but Im convinced i have the truth, but on these boards, i think i'd end up just argueing about it which i don't what to do.
Maybe i was a bit hasty posting my...
I came on here thinking that discussing my views as a JW would help me, you know, to help discuss things helps me to think things through. If anything, the opposite is true, people on here seem so sure about what they believe in, and its frustrating things have become so confusing. The ammount...
I dont know. This internet thing isnt as helpful as it makes out to be.
This is what 2 different sites said, that one, charlie was the founder, and the other said he wasn't.
Interesting question. Now if I said I used a source written by witnesses, you could claim that they can bend the truth.
So i decided to look at a few differnt web sites on the internet and here is what i gather about russel.
Charles Taze Russell, was the founder and first president of the...
Get over it, there's always going to be people like that, in any human organisation. Your problem is that you let a person become between you and God....though you probably was that person.
yer, those witnesses were never always the perfect organisation they are now.
On a side note,
i knew you would come back with another negative post from a negative source, but hey..it's from freeminds.org who ironically seem not at all free, but more...bitter than anything..:)
Perhaps you misunderstood. I wasn't attacking you. Merely reading what the bible says on people who go to heaven. IN OUR BELIEFS 144,000 go to heaven while the remainder have an earthly hope. We dont believe in hell so if this person was indeed a witness, he had no right to say that. :)...
Im a witness and here are links to articles written by witnesses. They shall answer your questions.

Well, no offense but you seem very confused, and you don't listen very well.
For instance, you dislike the organisation but you said you might come back. You said our translation of the bible was wrong, but you still read it.
And for a second, it sounded like you was still preaching...
You are in all respects truly wrong. I guess that's understandable as you read sites like free-minds.org. Your knowledge is very limited, and it's unfair you should post these things.
Are you so ignorant to believe that we don't know our organisation is imperfect?
WE had a talk on what...
..to say i 'rely on pseudepigraphy' is truly foolish in itself. AS if to say i'm stretched for resources on something that i've answered with the bible itself, a book i do and can rely on.
If anything, the bible is guarantee, as 'God cannot lie'. You make out I'm actually differing from what...
