		<description>Hiya! Quick question that&#039;s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I&#039;m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!</description>

		<description>I would like to say that your website is excellent, and the facts you have presented demonstrates how clear it is that WT is a fraud.

I&#039;m currently in the organization still, I&#039;m attempting to gain more economic footing and some extra supplies for when I leave home, since my parents would no doubt have abandoned me had I revealed my apostasy. My apostasy is pure, it does not come from any sin I have, or any desire I cannot satisfy, nor is it even based on something I came across on a website like this.

My apostasy comes from the things I have read in the bible and the things I see in the organization. I have come to see that my &#039;preaching&#039; and &#039;teaching&#039; work was actually nothing more then a propaganda push. By trying to &#039;make the truth my own&#039;, I actually found out everything I believed in was a lie. It started when I read the scripture at 2 Sam 24:17. In that event, God killed 70,000 people on account of something David did. David asked why innocent sheep must suffer for his crime...and he never got his answer. Nor did I, after I searched the WT cd-rom the only place I found the scripture used was in a 1950&#039;s WT about taking responsiblity for our actions.

That was only the start, I remembered other cruel acts recorded in the bible. The account of Achan and his family for example(Joshua Chapter 7), here God not only allowed some of his innocent soldiers to die because of one man&#039;s greed, but then he stoned this man&#039;s entire family and his animals. What kind of God with any sense of justice or even intelligence would commit such a satanic act? This is in direct conflict to what he states about his morals at Ezekiel 18, where he says sons will bear nothing on account of fathers.

&#039;Jehovah&#039; orders his nation to slaughter the Canaanites, but he orders them to slaughter even the &quot;suckling child&quot;, and he specifically states to &quot;show no compassion&quot;. This so called God can somehow read the hearts of babies and condemn them to death, but isn&#039;t competent enough to choose a good first king for his nation? He chose a man who quickly turned into an evil king, and God later felt &quot;regret&quot;?

The WT and its followers will fall, and soon it will find itself as yet another false religion. I can sense it falling apart even as we speak, the way its literature is being written is even worse then before. It no longer bothers to explain why to think their way, it just tells them what to think and how to think it. Everyone around me says how &quot;simple&quot; it is, as if it is something to be proud of. But I can see the society crumbling, it is becoming desperate for members and cares little about how it represents itself. I await the day when all eight million of its followers realize the only true thing the society has ever spoken of will come true, religion will be destroyed, including theirs.

For now I prepare to leave, I&#039;m going to make sure that I send a ripple throughout my area. I will ask my parents and the elders the questions they can never answer, I will make sure everyone knows that a young and highly devout member left the organization because he found out it was a lie. Hopefully, just maybe, my parents will discover the real truth as well.</description>

		<description>I just got to say, I never knew this website existed, and I am sooooo glad it does. I actually became an Atheist because of the info I have found about religion in general. But, that&#039;s not why I am here. I am here as an Ex Member of the JWs because I found out how much of a sham their religion really is. Example, I was disfellowshiped for something I am to this day I am still sorry for. So that was a legitimate thing. But, I WAS also reinstated. However, when I was reinstated, people in the Kingdom Hall look at you different. One lady told me never to talk to her ever again. Another told me I should never have been allowed back. Two Elders would barely even talk to me. Now these were people that I hung out with all the time before I was disfellowshipped. Keep in mind too, I never really believed in their religion. Even as a child, I never understood why they say one thing, but practice something else.

Example : Blood, they say don&#039;t take it. But, they eat meat. Beef stake and other kinds of meat has blood in it. Also, when you get right down to it, science showing our atoms, Ponder on this, atoms that come together to form a blood molecule. Which is extremely small. Its simply not possible to wash out every molecule of blood from meat.

Example 2 : The idea of &quot;not talking to those who leave&quot; is totally opposite of what their so called Jesus taught. Jesus even talked to Harlots and wicked men. The only one he shoved away, was Judas who betrayed him.

Which brings me to this point, I get that we are human, and if my friend betrays me, I probably wouldn&#039;t talk to him either. At least for a while until I got over it. But that&#039;s ME doing it. Not someone else telling me to do it. JWs have a governing body that tells them to not talk to people who are no longer in their religion. When I left, I left clean. I was not disfellowshiped.


Then you can go back to the whole Jesus compared to the Egyptian god Horus. I mean there is a LOT more info on how Jesus life is a copycat of this fake god. There is a lot of info on all kinds of bible faults along the way as well. When you get right down to it, religion is a theory, there never has been any proof that an Alien from space ever spoke to man, accept in that one book they call the bible. Which we are finding out now days, has a lot to do with Paganism in the first place. Look up Zeitgeist the Movie ( 2007 ) and you&#039;ll understand.

I could go on and on. But whats the point, you guys here at this website pretty much sums up how I been feeling. Thank you.</description>
