Definitely. Few days ago I was reading answers from this question to do with JW's and 1 answerer gave few links to go to about the JW's. It wasn't the Watchtower link. So, since I am NOT a JW of course I am curious and so did surf those websites. LearnabouttheOne is saying you all don't go and check it out? Well FYI those website's that are being posted are from people (almost all!) that claim that they was a member. Some of them say they held high position in a governing body. Some of them are seers or leaders somewhat like that (you know what I mean). I won't mention what they say for I am not to judge you because I don't go to your church and I don't socialize with you all. I will tell you though that what they do say on their website is very ugly and sinful. Why you don't go and investigate is beyond me. How will you defend yourselves if you are not guilty. I did not answer LearnabouttheOne question because she said strictly for you members. Just showing my respect.

The Jews of Jesus' day had very limited dealings with tax collectors.
John said not to say hello to such ones.

Very simple God almighty gave us the example, 6000 years ago Satan accused God *jehovah( of been a bad ruler that he want to opress humanity, what would happpen if God destroyed Satan in that time , the doubt will stay among other angels and could think that maybe Satan was telling the truth and another angel could rebel again, God gave to Satan the oportunity to prove that he was wrong.
the time give God the reason, the same we do, we keep reading the bible, studying and trying to be better christians and cleaning our life.
2 Peter 3 verse 11 says Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought YOU to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, 12 awaiting and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah, through which [the] heavens being on fire will be dissolved and [the] elements being intensely hot will me.
If you notice the only thing they do is criticized but dont talk anything about the bible nor the God s kingdom, they only waste their time attacking when there are more important topics to do we have a hope based on the bible but they have nothing of hope and they want the same for me and for you, notice that they never ever quoted from the bible, and as soon as I ask to some of them what is the purpose of God to thid planet, they simple dont asnwer and run, cause they cant lie at that level, cause it is impossible to do it, that is why I know we are telling the truth to the people.

Jehovah's Witnesses are taught not to view anything or give attention to apostates. I'm not a JW, but was raised by JWs, and I can frankly understand why they wouldn't want to pay attention to someone bashing their faith. It's not cool, for one thing.
I wish you'd posted a link to what you're referring to. I'm interested, as I'd only been able to find a few good websites dealing with comments and feelings of ex-JWs.

Your observations are of what are called apostates.
These are people who lost their faith due to one reason or other. You should know too, that Satan and his demons use every means they can to kill believers either in body or in spirit.
If the website hasn't got the http://watchtower.org address, it is not the official site. Please don't be fooled by false religion.
The society is fully aware of the apostates, and Jehovah will destroy them in his own good time. Oddly enough, they also know that as well.
