  My son was diagnosed December of 2012 and would have died thanks to his protectors the ones who love him the most, had it not been for the courts.

  I placed thumbs down on you Marvin and Outlaw. You are speaking of what you know not. I almost lost my son due to this very issue when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. I died a lot that day. It happened so quickly.Thank goodness for the courts. I often felt after I had time to think about it and asked myself if we were any different than those that offered their children to Molech and voiced that to close family and friends. Much to their dismay and mine. I thought every night how I would take my own life after my children were old enough to care for themselves.

  This was the catalyst that broke my wife and my dissonance. It took another year or so for it to truly take affect. We were true believers. Third generation. Never doubted that this was the truth and we were doing what was right. We have to live with the guilt of that every day. If I knew then even a tenth of what I now know there is no way I would have placed my family in that situation. One key example is the flip on the organ transplant issue. Which I was not aware of until I started researching.

  Having a child was not easy for us either. The doctors told us we would never have children naturally. My wife set about proving them wrong and did. Every one referred to our son as the miracle baby. We love him dearly and cried with joy the day we found out he was on the way, the day he was born, and many others since then.

  I do not nor will I ever wish something like childhood cancer on my worst enemy. Being a JW makes this type of Hell the hottest of hells. If I had found TTATT after this and lost my son my vengeance would know no bounds for others perpetrating this belief system and for myself.

  Please remember what its like to have been a true believer. Maybe you never were and it was always clear to you what this was. It wasn't for many of us out and many still in. I have to live with myself for as long as I breathe and try to be the best father and husband that I can. Having you condemn me and others like me for it does not help.

  Schoolyard bully mentality

  by FusionTheism in

  i'm not naming names, but i just want to encourage people on here or on reddit or twitter, and tell you that you do not have to tolerate people who act like schoolyard bullies in the way they speak to you online.

  i think anonymity is a big part of it.

  they feel like there is zero accountability so they can be a bully all they want.. i recommend just ignoring or blocking anyone who is verbally abusive or treats you like schoolyard bullies treated you.. life is way too short to spend any time dealing with those kinds of people..

  FT has been unreasonable on other posts. Condemning others and utilizing very judgemental terms of those that do not agree with him. When someone casts aspersions on others they will get called on it especially in this forum.

  The Case for Theism

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "theism" here means "belief in a god" or "the worldview that an intelligent designer created the universe and life.

  " ("god" here means a being with a mind who initiated and/or wound-up the universe, and designed life on earth)the most common claim that i see atheists making on twitter, is that "no evidence" exists in support of belief in a god.this post will remove any excuse atheists have for claiming "no evidence exists" in support of an initiator.

  atheists can still reject this evidence as "weak," but they cannot truthfully say it does not exist.now, it is true that we do not have "observable, repeatable, falsifiable, empirical, scientific" evidence conclusively proving that an initiator exists, but we do have many lines of philisophical, experiential, and logical evidence.and... here... we... go:1:) many leading scientists, including stephen hawking, say that the space-time-matter universe had a beginning at the singularity/big bang.

  Stating I don't know is what atheism is. It is no different than aclausism. I can't prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist somewhere out there. But the burden of proof is not on the negative claim "Santa doesn't exist" rather it is on the assertion that something or someone exists "Santa exists".

  In order for the hypothesis of Gods to hold up falsifiable evidence must be provided by the one postulating such. One has to start from atheism for an evidence based theorem to hold up. If one starts from a belief in clausism/theism the results are more often than not tainted by bias.

  Best Argument for Atheism - In your view.

  by LAWHFol in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if crisis of conscience is one of the top watchtower doctrine killers, what is the coc of theism?.

  i'd like to read a book, or other material that does the best job logically arguing for atheism.. i've not read any darwin, however it is my assumption that his focus is primarily on evolution, is this correct?

  if you were to recommend one book or a few pieces of reading material, which do the best job of defending atheism, what would they be?.

  YouTube evid3nc3 "Why I Am No Longer A Christian". Not a book but powerful nonetheless.

  A Whole New Watchtower Society (Governing Body 3.0 / Simplified Society)

  a whole new watchtower society (governing body 3.0 / simplified society).

  i'm not here to attack the governing body, watchtower society, or the jehovah's witnesses (jw) organization.

  the bible says there is just "one hope" for christians (ephesians 4:4).

  It surprises me that you have been out that long. You still come across as so judgemental. Religion stops critical thinking and citing what I can only imagine are utilitarian examples in no way makes what one believes about a higher power true.

  I value truth above all else including God. If what you state is true than it has nothing to fear from criticism. It will hold up to all as it is "true". If you are unwilling to examine the other side how are you or others that believe the same as you any different than a jw that calls all who disagree with there annointed leaders apostates?

  Your approach has been tried. Most here are not opposing wt. Rabid is also an interesting choice of words. Pretty judgemental I think. Before you continue to cast stones at what you know not, continue your research.

  You obviously have started to wake up to the fact that the GB has made many mistakes. Is it possible much of religion as a whole has as well, and why stop there with your critical thinking. If you have truth or just accept something as truth what is the evidence for it. Blind faith is just that blind, it stops critical thinking.

  I recommend checking out the truth that a former Pentecostal came to with much study about his religion and how he valued truth above all else. YouTube evid3nc3. I would only check it out though if you value truth above all else.
