as a child, i was made to believe that i loved my mom and family and close friends but that i loved no one more than jehovah god.
did you ever really love him?.

Is asking for THE proof of an existance of God too much before you dedicate your life to "him".
Think how embarrassing it would be it someone asked you for that proof after you had radically altered your life's persuits for decades and you couldn't provide it...
Oh, wait..
These replies are excellent!
Feels good to live a life without unreasonable fear.
Looking forward to more good posts.
i'm sure we've all heard things like; " we need to develop a close personal relationship with jehovah.
we can ask him to help us through difficult times, he should be our closest friend.
throw your burden on j. or the ol' jehovah will provide.
To me, having the solid "evidence" would be proof enough for me.
"Of course they are the true religion, they all have close personal relationships with a proven god"...

Hmmm.
I'm enjoying the replies so far.
I knew someone would mention Smurfs!
Just putting together a mental list:
Jehovah
Jesus
elders
"the back room"
CO
Armageddon
persecution
getting DF'd
apostates
Satan
the demons
demon possessed items
That's quite a bit, but I'm sure there is much, much more.
so i am being hounded by the elders who are staring to get suspicious about our "slackening off in the truth".
rather than being railroaded or pushed into a defensive or argumentative situation, i am keeping the following comment up my sleeve:.
"jehovah is really blessing our family life.
Part of me wants to think it would fun to be in your spot.
Totally aware, messing with people who don't even notice and planning some epic exit.
No, nevermind...
Get out!!

Can't wait for the update!
First thing I did was grow a full beard after walking away.
yep...that was the topic discussed in a recent public talk!.
the speaker went on about how a "god of love, along with his organisation, would never threaten people with punishment and hell!".
talk about hypocrisy!
I'm serious, you need to get out of there.
Everything you see and hear makes you sick.
It's time.
