  Ok so you left the idea of God - what would it take to come back?

  by Qcmbr in

  one point that has played many times on my mind (and is fairly central to my world view) is that if god exists its up to him to prove it.

  what would it take for you to accept god?

  i don;t know what made me think of this as its a memory i haven;t retrieved in 17 years at least but it made me chuckle and it was a favourite story of my parents!.

  when i was 6 and my little sister was 3 we were at a thursday night meeting, when she began to whispher to my mum " i want a smack".

  my mother thought she had misheard and looked away but no lil sis said it a bit louder tugging at her arm, "mummy i want a smack.

  What made YOU drop Christianity?

  by GetBusyLiving in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after i read coc and left the dubs for a short while i considered myself christian.

  the way franz explained it, all that is required is to have faith in jesus and to love your neighbor as yourself and then you will be 'saved'.

  the more i started pealing away at the onion though the dumber the premise of someone dying for my 'sins' seemed, and i just lost faith in it altogether.

  Have you conquered the indoctrination?

  by Frog in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  something i?ve wanted to ask you all for a while.

  had you 100% denounced jw doctrine to yourself at the time of your leaving the org?

  i know many have said that specific issues prompted them to leave i.e., wt membership in the un, silent lambs/child molestation policy, malawi political party card issues, inconsistent changes in doctrine i.e., 1975/1914 generation not passing?new light begets old light begets new light etc.

  Are the Demons Really Everywhere?

  by professor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  our witness family was obsessed with demonism.. at a very early age, i was introduced to strange stories of demonism.

  a brother in the congregation had brought home a souvenier doll from a tropical island as a gift for his daughter.

  the daughter would talk about how the doll would come to life, but the stories were dismissed and attributed to the child's imagination.
