What Did You "Become" After Leaving The Watchtower?

SpannerintheWorks

Born Again, Liberal Christian, Agnostic, Atheist, Or "Other"?

And why?

Spanner

How about a real person? Non believer in any religion or god for that matter. Why? Because it wasn't necessary for me to keep living and I lacked the dependence on the unseen to fulfill my existence. Can't explain it much simpler than that.

What Did You "Become" After Leaving The Watchtower?

A regular JWD freak.

Why?

Because it's given me a lot of strength and I've made true friends - even though we've never met.

*LOL* Spanner.......Spiritual for me means being out in natural beauty and enjoying the serenity of the mountains or the woods or the ocean...and sometimes it means being menatally stimulated to the point of hallucination, listening to music that grabs me, live or recorded, that takes me to a beautiful place...something Jehover never did for me...

At first I doubted whether there was a god. Now I am pretty sure there is, but not terribly convinced either.

No church or religion for me ever again. I just don't need it. Maybe I was never spiritual. I love the freedom of not believing in a religion or it's tenets.

Kinda the way I feel too. Hope there is a god, but he's got some splaining ta do.

I wouldn't mind attending another church, if I could find one I was comfortable with, but then that would mean I'd have to believe in god, and then I'm back to where I started.

My unique comment: LAITY CLASS!!!! I am not A DAMNED PREACHER!!!!!!!!

But other thoughts were excellent, so I'll leverage or "springboard" off a couple of other comments:

1) "MYSELF". Yep, this is JOB #1!!!

2) "Maybe I was never spiritual." I won't go that far; but it is NOT JOB #1, either. (see 1, above)

3) "I love the freedom of not believing in a religion or it's tenets." And, if I feel like discussing religion, I will do it WHEN I CHOOSE, with SOMEONE WITH AN OPEN MIND AND NO AGENDA.

BTW, this lets me speculate on questions and thoughts that would get you tossed out of JW/WTS in a heartbeat.

4) "Because it wasn't necessary for me to keep living and I lacked the dependence on the unseen to fulfill my existence." VERY GOOD!!! This reinforces my personal observation: I DON'T HAVE TO BE A DAMNED PREACHER TO GET SALVATION!!!!
