What do you think of that As Witnesses you are taught not to believe in fate/predestination/serendipity or whatever you wish to call it. What do you think about that sort of thing now? Examples would be nice too.
Do you believe in fate?

I still don't believe in fate or predestination. If you don't drink,text, or use the phone while you drive and maintain your care your chances of being in a care accident are reduced. There is still the other drivers and their actions to consider. If you get a degree in something that is needed in the workplace, your chances of getting a good job with good wages are better than those who don't even finish high school. You can control a lot of your future but then there are the unexpected things that no one can control. If predestination is true, you might as well do whatever you want because what is going to happen is going to happen. I don't believe in predestination.

My outlook/philosophy is becoming more and more deterministic, that free will just an illusion.
In which case it's ALL fate.
