there is no god
Bgurltryal

If you look at what Jesus Christ taught: Love Your Neighbor as Yourself and Do to Others what you want them to do to you.

It's the golden rule...it's in alot of religions...
I grew up with no real concept of religion, being taught to research every religion for myself and weigh it's positives and negatives. I considered the bible to be a fictional story as a child. It really is about what one is raised around. To me the idea of god is absured. I do good things not for fear of god or for some promised after death prize but becuase it is in itself rewarding (may sound cheezy but tough! ) This is how I was raised. I can understand the nessecity for a beleif in god, but I just don't have it. Just mah two whole cents worth.

Will the Watchtower ever cease to exist?

just curious to hear others thoughts on this matter.

first of all, until a few years ago, no one knew what we now know about the organization.

we couldn't talk to anyone about doubts, or anything that would go against the organization, even to someone close, "in the know".

All I know is I see alot of people around my age (23) leaving from many varying religions. I think the internet and it's unlimited resources probably do have an extreme hand in this. It's very encouraging. I think, in a way, the web promotes one to come to ones own conclusions for the sheer fact that it's a solo endevor. It's the lazymans best friend too. It's all right there, there's no looking up books or need to get dressed even. Plus it's much easier to find a collective group of people who are dealing with, or have dealt with your situation, with much information to provide themselvs. All with the ability to be anonymous, if one feels inclined. Weather JWs will become exstinct, one can only hope that those that are now seeing sense will pass the sense on...but then there's still all those stupid people to deal with...

Sorry...my mom is possibly the sorest subject in the world to me, having been hospitalized for depression for 6 months at a time I'm just incredibly proud of who she is today, and quick to come to her defense even when it's not needed
I'm just in some odd mood...I think i miss her:(

sorry--I grew up knowing how to use a dictionary!

I grew up.
