The Bible is like a prisoner, the more you torture it it's going to tell you whatever you want to hear. Witnesses are great at this. Religion tried to hijack morals with their abrahamic sacred texts and that is not good for humanity.

Scripture fatigue
by New day ini wondered why i felt so fatigued over many years from hearing the same things again and again at the meetings.
even the scriptures become too familiar.
a few days ago i quickly read through all the gospels and realised i knew all the verses in detail.

Little Thought for Lurkers, oringinal sin?
by Diogenesister injust one little thought....adam & eve ate the fruit from the tree "of the knowledge of good & evil".
so..in other words, before they ate they did not know right from wrong...hmmmm so how can you blame someone who does not know right from wrong?.
for a crime to take place in human law you must have the act - 'actus reus' - and the guilty mind or 'mens rea' as it is termed.

I believe the insight book states sin originated in heaven with Satan. Not Adam and eve.
Which actually brings up a lot of other issues

those who are trying to force their opposing beliefs on me are the trolls.
No one is forcing anything on you, it's discussion board, that means asking questions and talking about things. Not all of them will align with your ideas. Criticism is not persecution.

This is a JW specialty BTW

I have tried other religions. Buddhism, baptist, deism, atheism, etc
Atheism is not a religion, there is no doctrine, no set of rules, no beliefs, it is simply the absence of religion, and not a claim of no god but the disbelief in one.
Since you were "trying out religions" I would take atheism out of there, because you don't really try it out then convert to something else. You were searching for religion in a void, I don't think it counts.

LovesJehovah with all do respect you picked an odd place to talk about loving jehovah.
If you walked into a bar mitzvah and tried to strike up a conversation about how swell Hitler was, you might not get the warmest welcome. Granted there are theists and what not here, but not a lot of fans of the big J

If you are looking for a site that does not criticize 'jehovah' can i suggest jw.org? This is not it...
