  So many things suddenly made sense. They've been right in my face all this time but I never understood them as I always tended to see them piece by piece. This site finally made me see the whole picture at once. Like a puzzle completed. And that has helped me a great deal to overcome the frustation (produced by all the unanswered questions) and let go.

  Thanks!

  Getting your Congregation Record Destroyed

  a while back, there was a discussion about dfing and asking the elders to remove records of yourself ever having been a jw, publisher records, etc.

  i responded that i didn?t believe there was a legal basis to force the records to be removed.

  i can't find the thread and don't remember who started it....whoever you are, here's some interesting info for you!

  Why can't I just "quit", no fanfare, no announcements, no "demonizing" of me... just let me leave. What the HELL, is this the theocratic Mafia?
  

  Why do I feel like a "theocratic hit" is gonna be put out on me if I "officially" quit?

  ... but wouldn't it be great?

  I remember John Lennon to "imagine" a planet without religions and I always liked that idea.

  Isn't it strange that they talk about love all the time but hardly ever live love?

  Isn't it strange that we allowed them to wast our precious time for so long?

  Isn't it strange that leaving "god's org" generally makes people feel better?

  i contend that we are both atheists, i just believe in one less god than you do.

  when you understand why you dismiss all other possible gods, then you will know why i dismiss yours.

  I believe WW III came closer since George W. Bush arrived in Washington because he's such a fanatic. Terror attacks and two wars in 4 years. What comes next? North Corea, Syria, Iran? I just remember him speaking of the "axe of evil".

  Why Do You or Don't You Believe In The Bible?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  do you believe in the bible just because you were raised to believe?

  are you sure it's "believable"?

  .....have you convinced yourself the bible is just another book?

  IMO the bible no doubt contains a lot of interesting storys, some funny and some sad. As it is written by humans it also contains words of wisdom that every human can come up with if he takes a deep look inside himself. There is absolutely no proof it is written or inspired by anybody else than just humans. Therefore I consider it a guidebook like many other books I've read over the years that contain helpful advice but I would never use it as law I have to observe. No way!

  Min,

  I like such threads! You provoke and make people think by asking simple questions that contain explosives (as all the answers unveil). You're quite gifted in this.

  Do You Ever Think of God ?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does "god" come to your mind anymore?

  jehovah god, christ, a supreme being???

  since you've stopped believing as a jehovah's witness, does "god" in any form come into your heart and mind?

  I don't believe in any old man sitting on a white cloud and watching us like Big Brother. To me it's more like the asian way of thinking. That there is life force but not a personalized one. Therefore I believe in my own responsibility to lead a good life and that this power helps me to reach my goals. The help doesn't come with reading the bible or whatever but with looking inside and asking my heart.
