I have a tattoo on the top of my left arm. It is a circle of a sun, with the chinese symbol for happiness inside it. At the time i had it, it meant i was at the dawn of a new day in my life and that i was happy about it.

I also have a tattoo on my privates! It says supercalafragalisticexpialidocious!! The only problem was, that i couldn't quite fit the last 's' on!!! lol

Is God out there?

by digderidoo in

i have left the org for many years now.

sometimes i think jehovah is there, sometimes i think there cannot be a god for all the suffering that we see happening in this world.. just lately i have been wondering if god really exists, is the bible his word or is it all just a load of b*****ks.

i have looked into other religions, buddhism for instance, i believe we are spiritual, but is there a need for a god?

It was said to me once that there are things out there that we are never gonna understand, so why spend your time worrying about them?

I guess the way we were brought up makes us think about the ideas of a god or a creator. The thing i like about Buddhism is the idea that you have a spiritual side that needs to be fulfilled. Also, the idea that if you accept that one day you will die, you will try to have a fulfilled life.

Greven, I can't lean towards the idea of Atheism, because there are so many things that we do not understand in this world. I guess the only way to understand them is to accept the idea of a supernatural. At the same time i cannot lean towards the idea of a God of the bible, this idea has become so twisted into different variations over the years.

I guess the only answer i have for myself at the moment is, 'i don't know'. But its an educated ' don't know ' and not just a blind statement.

Since leaving the org..what do you do with the time that you now have free?

after quitting meeting attendance, study for meetings and field service we gain alot of time.

i wasn't used to having that time to just do nothing and i've never been used to doing just nothing (relaxing and having time to stop and smell the roses).

so i joined the pto, my kids signed up for sports, i became a parent volunteer at the school, i became a coach and the list goes on.

After leaving the org you can spend time doing the things that you shouldn't have done before!!!

Drinking, smoking, having sex, partying, watching a movie that has a swear word in it!!!!....plenty to do.

i am vivamus' mum, and i have heard so much about you, that i'd like to meet you all myself.

i joined the witnesses in 1998, but i have always doubted the organization, but not the faith.

i am still jehovah's witness, but i am sure that the elders will kick me out as soon as possible, should they know what my real thoughts about the organization are.

Hiya country woman....a big welcome from the other side of the pond!
