Hello,
To make a long story short, I'm an xJW from France: born and baptized as a Catholic, I became a JW in 1972 at the age of 13 with part of my family; then a pioneer and a Bethel member, before being disfellowshipped for "apostasy" in 1986. Afterwards, involved in theology and Bible edition with the mainstream Protestant churches, slowly drifting from the Evangelical to the Liberal wing and finally out of all religious groups and beliefs. The "atheologist" label, I guess, would suit fairly enough by now.
The question I'd like to ask my fellow xJW "brothers and sisters" (and there seems to be plenty of them around ) is the following: what would you now retain from Christianity, or the Bible, or "God"? Is there a kind of "faith" after the collapse of beliefs? How would you define it?
The question is especially directed to those of you who would not easily term themselves "Christians", and who have not sticked to any recognized "creed".
Looking forward to reading from you,
Narkissos
