Oh wow this is an interesting thread. I'd have to say nada nothing. I can't claim to believe in anything really. Maybe science as in things need to be proven to me but even then there is always doubt. I'm 37 now and with my personality I think when I am 90 my questions will still not be answered. It seems as though there is only more and more questions as time goes by. Oh is that more words then you wanted..lol.

I am spiritual, neo pagan, with some buddist beliefs but avoid any organised religion. Everyone should be free to believe as they will. I kinda believe in reincarnation and enlightenment but not in a judgemental way. I believe in energies. Theres lots more to it, but I think that will do. Im just about to leave for our new Years Party! Happy New Year everyone, love Aphrodite.

I am a Born Again Christian BUT ! I am not nor will be a member of any religious organisation. I have tried other churches since leaving the WTBS but find that they are just as judging and controlling as others. The only difference between the Watchtower Society and other Religions is others teach a closer to the truth and the one tells nothing but lies.
I feel that if I try to follow Jesus rule of thumb which is "Love your neighbor as yourself" & "Love your God with all your heart mind and strength" and believe that Christ is and was the messiah and that he was raised from the dead after being murdered on the cross for our sins then I feel I am saved by his grace. It is impossible for anyone to say you have to stop sinning in order to be saved because the scriptures say " All men fall short of the glory of God, so how does a man not sin if he is destined to sin.
That's where I am at ! Praise Jesus !

I thought maybe this was a fairy tale - misread the topic - thought it was "once upon a time." Oh well, it's about fairy tales, anyway, isn't it? One of the things I got from being brought up JW is a terrific resistance to being made to explain myself. So when you ask me to define myself spiritually, all I can say is "what's it to ya?"

I was turned off by the God portrayed to me by the Bible, so for a long while it was mainly anti-god whatever thats called. Believing in God and hating him. Now I find a lot of comfort in Buddhist teachings.
