How about
Jehovah for Atheists
then?
Exactly bernadette! I think Jehovah's been trying to tell us he's not real for a long time now.

i personally am a closet atheist. to reply to junction-guy and anybody else, the only reason the ones on this site that are still JW's remain a j-dub, is because of family/friends. it really dont matter whether we believe in god or not. i dont believe in god or jwism, but i put on a good facade for my loving mom, who is a devout jw and wants/thinks i am too. yes, i hate it, but i hate my job, but have to pay my bills, so i put up with it FOR NOW, but not forever. oh yeah, GO HEELS in the college world series!

Am I the only atheist for Jehovah?
um, ya slim, i think you may be. no longer believing in jehovah while still feeling an affinity for him is not much of a rally cry for atheists. lol.

Slim,
This sounds a lot like so called "Humanistic Mormons":

There's also the (somewhat) related New Order Mormons:
http://www.newordermormon.org/
All belong to the broader category of "Cultural Mormons":

Am I still the only atheist for Jehovah?
Strange that this movement never got off the ground. Maybe its time will yet come.

LOL @ ninja!... and the rest of this thread.
It's bringing back memories from years ago when I was approached and handed a pamphlet down by the SkyDome (now the Roger's Centre) by someone in a group called 'Jews for Jesus'. Got a good chuckle out of that experience too. And look, they even have a website ( http://www.jewsforjesus.ca/). Crack me up!

slimboy, you may have seen it already, but the reddit site for exjws is majority atheist / agnostic. It's basically where the kids who want to leave the KH hang out while they're waiting until they can leave home.

I missed this thread, slim. How about Agnostics for Jehovah? At least that's not an oxymoron.

Anyone for Jesus. Jesus doesn't deserve this, as he supposedly advised people to leave their family and love him more and come after him
Anyone for Jehovah - Doesn't deserve either. Read the Bible.

How about atheists for atheists ? , that would leave humanity to look out for are selves working with the physical world of accepted reality
......... well until a supernatural being appears and fixes are enduring woes and problems, seems we have been waiting a long time by some gods who said they would be back shortly.
