How many of you identified yourself as an Atheist while still an active JW?

    I've kinda been blown away by the claims on some other threads that many decided that God wasn't a real person while they were still a Jehovah's Witness. I was wondering how many of you lost your belief in God while you were an active JW. I'm not saying "lost your belief" in any negative way. Just honestly wondering.

    It would be interesting to let other JWs know that there are thousands of people that are atheist Jehovah's Witnesses. Atheist Jehovah's Witness...has a nice ring to it.

    Oh, and please don't let this decend into a conversation about if Creationism is right and Atheism is wrong or vice versa. I'm just curious as to how many were atheists before leaving.

    Well that's just great, slimboy! You came up with my idea 5 years ago! Bah!!!

    Well lets get some updates then. There are a ton of new people since then.

    I can honestly say for myself that I wasn't a full blown atheist while being an actice JW but while I was, it surely started some infusion of

    skepticism, a slow but gradual gathering of information and knowledge eventually developed into my atheistic views to date. ..... Amen
