can anyone give me one or more scriptures in the first 5 books of the bible that would describe yhwh the tribal desert god as loving, kind, merciful, etc?...
and by loving i don't mean, "in order to release all the jews from slavery god @$$blasted the egyptians with ten plagues because he was so loving to his chosen race"..

hellloooo fellow apostates, mentally diseased devil worshippers :) how is everyone?.
today, i listened to a song about praying and how one can pray anywhere.
well, this song brought back the horror of sitting in restaurants, mcdonalds, coffee shops etc and having a group of brothers and sister bow their head and pray for what seemed to be an eternity.
stuckinarut2 its the same as everything in this religion, even in their own sideways way they admit it's about what you show. faith without works and all that bull$hit.
The people that make the biggest outward display area clearly the most "SPIRITUAL". It's the same reason the JW plaster their instagram with pictures of themselves guarding the carts, and holding up a magazine in public... who are they showing it to? Each other? Seems silly doesn't it?
Its like "hey I just need to remind you every hour on the hour in someway I haven't left the truth". total insanity. That pissed me of my whole jw life, the need to show it. Because I got criticized for not being one who participates in these shameless, self stroking displays of cult loyalty.
Again they are designed to show EACH OTHER. What is the point? Self gratifying religious masterbation, and showing the rest you are still fully indoctrinated!
all of us are upset in different ways, some of us are ferociously angry because, let's face it, it's our fault!
i had many clues they were lying about our religion but i failed to see through them because of the pain of admitting we got conned and family pressure from peers stopped me from making a courageous choice.
when i read about people who confronted the elders and won their judicial committees (even though the jw elders df'ed them) my heart goes out to their courage, their amazingly stronger than i will ever be.

Just another day of devil worshipping over here.
I actually never did that. I couldn't do it. I thought it looked so self righteous.
i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.
you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!
what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.
who do these people think they are!
?i have only been on this site for a couple months, and dealing with all the reactions of jws to my being removed as a publisher(for the second time) and my husband being df'd.
lucky for me i have 2 sets of grandparents that still support my life whatever i do as well as some aunts uncles and cousins.
i have thought about how ttatt came full circle for me.
how the connecting the dots was simple and just made sense,.
how silos of information are literally at our fingertips today.. why is it that the ones we love cannot get ttatt?.

You and I had similar beginings

Religion is based on emotion not reason
for me I got myself mentally out before really delving into sites like this. Even though I didn't have the where with all to get out within the last 5 years, I have always doubted the bible, always been confused, and never had strong faith. Just didn't want to die at Armageddon or lose my family because I couldn't get it like the rest.
Different people will never question it no matter what, even if they had video of TM3 eating golden retriever puppies. And for others like myself it will never feel right, and we just need to snap ourselves out of the FOG to wake up fully.
lack of self-control in eating, drinking, and pursuit of pleasure;.
so, let me get this straight.
enjoying a fancy meal, appreciating the finer qualities of libations and deciding to enjoy life by pursuing pleasures (bike riding, hiking, camping, fishing, reading, movies, golfing, etc.
To me pursuit of pleasure throws such a wide net, it's so ridiculous.
I was insulted to no end by my family over my stupid Instagram account. It shows that witnesses don't really know people but judge who they are based on superficial, and imaginative things. I explained to one of them what was the problem? To me these social media things are superficial and for posting nice looking pictures. So if I take a pic of me out enjoying a nice day, but I am not out standing next to a cart, I am a sinner. I think it is all ridiculous, but to me this is the most vague, and broad of all the stupidity in there
had an interesting thought this morning.
when a witness is 'in' they think everyone else is following and trying there best all in unity.
i believe the reality is there are a lot of us 'in' who know different.

I agree. I just wish the RF eyes were open to that. Their little security blanket of "followers" would be ripped away.
