seeker, Worship in the sense that it takes over your life. When you give YOUR power to what ever or whom ever you worship. Got that!
addicts give all their power to the substance/relationship that they worship.
Crazy is doing the same thing over and over again when it doesn't work.
i'm not wasting my short life with superstition or delusional thinking. A person can be "good" without faith in the unknown. Religion has gotten mankind nowhere.
Worship in the sense that it takes over your life.
What about all those people who do not have any one that that takes over their life? Most people are like that. With most people, there is no one thing, or several things that take over their life. Who or what are they worshipping?
Be careful that your definition of worship does not become so generalized that it is meaningless.

I don't believe that the Bible is the word of God. I don't know if there is a God. I hope there is.
I used to be a faithful Borg in the Watchtower. Not only am I no longer a Dub, I'm no longer Christian. As for my current beliefs, I follow only one rule: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law".
My God is Nature, my doctrine is Logic, and my religion is Love. I neither have nor need anything else to be complete. I especially don't need the god of Christianity who would kill his own son on a cross just so that we wouldn't burn in a hell that same god freely created and could abolish entirely with a wave of his hand.
"Comrades! We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all!"

I don't know if I can comment, let me look at a current Watchtower to see what they currently believe in.
Drawcad1,
That's a good point. Their doctrines are -- here today, gone tomorrow!
So even if you said YES you believe what they taught today, who knows about tomorrow or six months from now??? Kind of like shooting at a moving target?

Do you still believe the WTS doctrine’s?
No. At no time while in the bOrg did I ever for even a brief moment truly believe it. Granted, I could force myself to believe for short periods of time, but that was more of an Orwellian thought process.

Believe in yourself, not mythology.

No.
They lie.
