    By telling us that we shall be destroyed at Armageddon, and that we live a life that God doesn't approve of, the JW's are trying to make us believe that we are at odds with God.

    Were they successful?

    I'm at peace. I don't think God, if there is one, gives a hoot about the everyday nitty gritty of our lives, and I no longer waste a minute of time worrying about trying to please him.

    I guess this thread is aimed at those who still believe in a higher power.

    Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
    John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, that whoever beleives in him should not perish but have eternal life.

    When i first left, i did feel like i was `dead in god`s eyes` as that is what they tell you. I felt terrible for a long time, until i started to find out stuff about the borg. Now i am not sure what to believe. I am looking at everything from a wider perspective now, and can see where a lot of you are coming from when you don`t believe in one. I would like to think that there is one, but am keeping an open mind.

    I am at peace with not knowing if there is a God. I figure if there is he won't kill everyone on earth for just being human and if there isn't then I have no higher power to be at peace with.

    Yes... but I've never been a dub. I believe the scripture that reads:

    2 Timothy 1:7
    For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

    They failed miserably in their demonized attempts at keeping Jesus away from my heart.
