i have thought long and hard about ways to silence a jw who is inquiring about your defection of their religion.. they will look at you as a fool.
someone without faith and trusting in "man alone.
" a jw is programmed to never blame "jehovah" for the works of any man, so if anyone leaves the "truth" because of something the governing body did or is doing, they look at you with pity because you have fallen into an "easily avoidable" trap, all they think you have to do is pray and rely on your creator alone and everything will turn out ok.. so, here is a transcript of something i am working on, it's a conversation with a jw about "your decision.":.

If the answer is no, the follow-up question is, "So why would you belong to an organization you admit is not inspired and/or directed by Jehovah, and in addition, has been consistently wrong with their prophecies down through the years?"

there has also been much made of the atheist lifestyle.. my dilemma -- i don't know what the atheistic faith entails.
To be an atheist you have to fail to see the evidence of a designer in all aspects of life.
Here we go with "there's got to be a designer" again.
Who designed our designer? Must have been a complex dude. Who designed our designer's designer? Must have been a complex dude, too. Who designed our designer's designer's designer's designer? Now that dude was really complex! Who designed...?
