Myself, I took a break from it all and now I just stay out of the heated threads, I don't see a point in arguing. I feel better now

Apologies for any hurt feelings
by Simon ini know i probably go too far sometimes and can get a little 'determined' on some issues (my wife calls it pig headed & stubborn).
sometimes i am too blunt.
sometimes i won't let things go and want to prove my point.

Explain this to me
by Ariell ini'm new here.. i would like to question those who tend to disagree with jw teachings, but still seem to believe in christianity and refer to god as jehovah.
i always told myself that if i were to ever leave i'd stay out of religion all together, because if this isn't the truth than nothing is.
christianity in today's society is so warped that it's not even funny.

Welcome.
I don'r know about you, but it seems that all of your information and ideas on other religions come from the witnesses. Of course they are going to trash all alternatives to themselves.
Myself, I don't believe in organized religion, but you should do yourself a favor and do some REAL research on other religions by going down to your local librarty and reading about them. This might give you a more balanced perspective of others and their beliefs.
Good luck!

I put my burden on Jehovah, but he gave it back
by Nosferatu inremember all those times that you waited on jehovah for help?
remember how he didn't help?
tell some of your experiences of how jehovah didn't help you in your time of need.

Did your lifestyle work in harmony with what yo were praying for. If not..Can u figure out why your prayer wasn't answered.
So in other words you answer your own prayers by you taking the effort and you changing your own life? Credit be to Jehovah then? God, what a scam artist.

Are you REALLY sure?

Anyone can be deceived. Admitting it is the first step on the road to recovery, and an open mind.

Why The Natural Desire For Sex
by Undecided ini was thinking about this today and wondered why "god" created this overwhelming desire in humans?
if we were created in god's image does this mean god has desires like his spirit creatures mentioned before the flood did?.
it would seem that man with his inteligence would be able to decide if he wanted to have children and have sex just to procreate.

What religion are you now?
by Michalea ini've struggled with wanting to be 'something' mostly probably to fill that hole that was left and to try and belong somewhere, anywhere really.
so i've tried penecostal, presbyterian, united churches but they all seem fake.
i always compared everything to the jw's, and didn't even realize it.

Do we need religion, or does religion need us?
You seem to be on the right path. Believing in God does not necessitate ones participation in a religion.

Waverers Almost Gone When They Arrive Here?
by Englishman inof late, we have seen several threads started here and elsewhere that question the responsibility of ex's towards wavering jw's.
much of the material in these threads has been to do with whether our words or behaviour on these sites should be moderated so as not to "stumble" wavering witnesses.
some folk are of the opinion that we have no responsibilty whatsoever to waverers, others say we have a degree of responsibilty, yet others opine that we have a very great degree of responsibility.

Only in defense of the "torrid stories of what bad things witnesses in my town did", I must say that they do serve a small purpose in breaking down the squeaky clean image that is put forth by the society. I think it helps those who think that "witnesses are the best people in the world" to realize that as people go, they are really no different from the rest of the world.
Yes, doctrinal issues and other "meaty" subjects are far more important. Just these other stories do serve a small purpose.

Are you not happy in life, would you rather face death? Then you need to get some help. Do you feel that life could be better? Then do your part to make it better.
No, you can't make the world a better place all by yourself, but there are plenty of ways to find fulfillment and hapiness in this life, you just must seek them out instead of believing that they don't possibly exist. Yes, some people out there are truly happy, they aren't just putting up a good front, you can be happy too, if you want to.
