Is being a Witness really so bad? Is religion bad in general?

i have no intention of ever being a witness again, but when i look at my family i wonder if they are better living in the ignorance they call spiritual paradise.

many people seem to have a need for religion.

is it better if they remain as they are?

i have written an article for my parents.

they are somewhat influential in the org and i am trying to convince them to push for changes to current disfellowshipping policy, not that i hold out too much hope.

anyway, i would like what i have written checked for accuracy.

What is the bible saying about a soul and a spirit
by jwfacts in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i am not sure i believe the bible, but am still trying to come to terms with whether we have a soul or spirit that goes on after death.

i am also interested in seeing how the bible is similar/different than other religions.

i have done research on the web in regards to what the bible says a soul is and get a variety of fairly different and generally not well presented ideas.. as a witness obviously we are taught that we are the only religion teaching truth and our concept differs from virtually all other religions.

what proves jw's aren't true?
by jwfacts in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i am inactive and it took years of doubt to convince myself the jw's arent true.

i started doubting because i hated the idea that jehovah would kill 6 billion non-jw's.

the thing now that is the most important proof for me is that until 1954 jw's worshipped jesus and it is still in the watchtower charter, even though you now get disfellowshipped for worshipping jesus.
