Nobody wants to face the fact that perhaps this is really all that is. One shot, one life, on brief moment in this planet. - redvip2000
I agree. It took me time to come to terms with this. There is no denying that religious faith can be comforting.
I can't imagine not believing in God.

Cofty, I reiterate and stand by what I wrote. Dress it up however you all like, the way you carry on is unkind and uncaring.

EP You don't know what I know. You haven't heard it from me and its highly unlikely that you ever will, so don't presumptuously generalise.

Loz - you clearly have no interest in having a discussion, you ignore everything I say and just come back with more personal comments.
You seem to have mistaken me for somebody who cares about your opinion of me.

How can you be so presumptuous as to say this? On what do you base it? I have never and don't ever intend to share with you my knowledge of God. For me to do that, I would have to respect the one hearing me.

Yes..... would respect be guaranteed here ?
To share your feelings of falling in love most everyone believes and can relate
to share your experience of faith does not go so well ... it can become of source of mockery

Ironically, though, I do know what you can't know.
Cofty, you are so kind and caring. I love you, man.

Regarding Salty's quote; every explanation for a First Cause that I have seen is far more complex than what straight science offers. It fails the Occam's Razor test.

Next time I'm over on that side, the beers are on me, man. And, if you're a real Scot, the Scotch.

Loz - My number one priority to anybody who has just left the Watchtower and is feeling spiritually lost is to avoid everything to do with faith for at least a year or two until they have taken care of far more important social and family priorities.
Cofty, with respect, who are you to decide that this is the best way to prioritise? How can you determine the importance of their faith in their survival to sort out the other things? Even as a believer I wouldn't presume so much. I would let the leaver decide for themselves whether or not they need their faith to move forward with their life, their family and their social relationships. I, for one, could not have moved forward, would not be here today if I hadn't hung on to my faith to see me through that terrible exodus.
