When I first became "godless" I felt immense relief having freed myself from Watchtower theology. There were times I missed the comfort I felt that there was a God watching over me. But there is not way I would go back. The times I received "comfort" were very few. I found life is warm and comforting most of the time. Way more than the JW way of life.

Japanese dolphin slaughter..........
by watersprout inthe japanese dolphin slaughter commenced on the 7th of september and will continue through to march of next year.
thousands upon thousands of dolphins/whales will lose their lives.
those that do survive will be sent to places like seaworld where they will be forced to perform for us humans.. this video is very upsetting.... makes you realize how truly evil members of the human race are.... i wouldn't suggest watching if you are weak stomached.. just wanted to share as many people don't realize that this goes on.
