The onus of proof is with the the one making the claim, not the one questioning it,
Look up Bertrand Russell's Celestial Teapot, if you want, not everyone likes logic :)
there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

in the last couple of months, i have been practising my stand up.
so far these are my best jokes:.
not celebrating birthdays and christmas has saved me so much money.
A childhood of learning how to spew out absolute nonsense to strangers
has led to me to a highly successful political career, you'd be surprised to
learn how many now in office used to be Witnesses!
Great stuff,
I have a few,
JC "I wanted to go out in the ministry but they told me I needed a haircut!!"
well my wife is off to a one day convention and will doubtless return home cranky and tired.

Your own opinion
Hey alostpuppydog,
The above words are great blasphemy among the Jehovah's Witnesses,
You must repent!

recently at work they conducted an mbti test for me.
for those who don't know, the mbti test is a personality test used by organizational psychologists in companies and organizations.
it is supposed to describe the best way you communicate, the best way of giving and receiving feedback, and for managers that test is supposed to explain to them the best way to manage their employees (i'm over simplifying, i know).. my profile came up as some kind of introvert (and when i was told that i said "what?
I share some of these thought /speech patterns,
Apparently this can also be caused by feelings of abandonment,
I think that our experiences can give us quite a cynical outlook,
I often thought about a loving God destroying a naked bloated Biafran kid,
What I was thinking is what is this person going to feel about Jehovah's gracious goodness and be moved to praise his name,
Still we try to think and make sense about everything,
Also, maybe the brothers more so, we just have to shut up and bite our tongues so much I think it leads to a lot of sarcasm etc
Thank you for your interesting post,

______silly obsessionsome groups of people in the world believe flying saucers and space aliens are secretly visiting our planet intervening in man’s affairs.
jehovah’s witnesses believe something very similar!
"before leaving the earth, jesus christ promised to return.".

Hey hey ahem BACK IN Nehemiah's day all would STAND all day including toddlers!! ( that actually was the original template) Makes me shudder to think, after literally driving across the country 8 days Morning afternoon and evening sessions, Unbelievable, had to be bussed back forth from New Jersey, and what was the point again? Ugh
one thing they never talked about at the assemblies was how many predictions they made in the pass about the so called end of the world.
predictions that never came to be.
i didn’t know it at the time and most jehovah’s witnesses didn’t know that charles russell (1852-1916), the founder, believed that christ had secretly arrived in the year 1874 and that he would establish the kingdom of god on earth in october 1914 russell based this prophecy on his studies of the bible and the great pyramid.
The Prophesy of 1925 that New Boy talks about fails,
MOST WITNESSES LEAVE!!
These ones are now written off as "Evil Slave"
Meanwhile the Good Guy Rutherford celebrates the fact that he is an "ass"
(his words) by building a mansion (Beth Sarim) for the resurrected princes,
Labour for construction/maintenance all by volunteer/slave labour,
Money for this as well as two luxury cars provided by private Witness donors, (I'm thinking they liked old Uncle Joe)
Watch Tower has been successful in almost completely suppressing this information ( I am aware of only 2 paragraphs in the Proclaimers Book)
Ask anyone today about this and see what happens,
This is a cult
it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.
it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.
something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

Couldn't go, had a meeting that night lol
