hi a-team,
Were you DFed, did you find out some lies about the org?. What was the last straw?
i DA'd. the roots of my suscpicions go deeper than starting to find out lies, because the seeds were buryied in my mind under hundreds of thousands of years of brain evolution. when i googled "jehovah's witnesses" i began learning about the actual dishonesty with the borg (and ultimately much more), and the seeds germinated. the first and last straw for me regarding the WTS has always been evolution, and it's independent existensial/philosophical implications on the literalist (i mean, they ultimately come from The Church!) borg doctrine. and i set my mind upon the genetic chain of causation and realized that Jehovah God would have to have been, at best, a lazy programer. on the spot i basically become a deist. and after reflecting on the possibilty (absurdity?) of a lazy programmer god ("in the beginning was the command line"), i also realized that i had by definition become an atheist, because even if i thought it was possible that we are the simulation of a lazy programmer somewhere, i certainly no longer believed in Jehovah (literally). i think that may have happened over the course of a few beautifully painful hours. peace, tetra
