  question on atheism vs. god

  by bonnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am, for now a witness on the outside, and still believe in god most of the time.

  i have read dawkins "the god delusion", found it pretty interesting and helped me understand why athiests believe the way they do.

  but i always have questions.....one that really bothers me about deism is the thought that god has always existed and always will, had no beginning and no end.

  boy..just when i thought things couldnt get weirder in my life...i spent a whole day designing a christmas newsletter with colorful pictures and stories about what my kids and family have been doing, and the election and you know...year end things and greetings, to send out.

  i do this every year.

  this year i had to file bankruptcy in august and decided to email the newsletter to save money.

  I like Purps reply, and I'm with Mrs.Jones on this one too.

  Married people should always have each other's backs. If you don't agree, talk about it LATER..... alone. The husband needs to step up to his dad..... Gymbob

  When I realized I could never love and worship a being that would put me to death if I didn't worship him, then I knew the whole "God" idea was wrong.

  For me, I just don't want to waste any more time in this life that I know I have, trying to make it to the next...if there is one. I don't like being lied to, so I don't lie to people. The same with stealing from people, hurting people, etc. I just try to be a good person. And if whoever it is that makes the decisions about who gets in and who doesn't says I don't qualify to be in the next life, then they can keep it. So far, I haven't found anything wrong with this plan. Gymbob

  Book study suggestion for JWs on this forum

  by I quit! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wt is doing away with the book study so why not replace it with a bible study.

  no additional publication just read the bible and comment on it.

  ask the members of your book study group if they would like to participate and invite others.

  Were You a 100% True Blue JW Believer?

  Absolutely....

  I was born in it, believed 100% all of it, and sometimes I get really mad at myself for not seeing the truth about, "The Truth" many years ago.

  The good thing is, when I saw the truth, I was 100% GONE and done with it. And,.......It's sites like this that confirm it every day..... Gymbob

  So not a mind controlling cult hey , a video on You-Tube says a lot

  by Homerovah the Almighty in

  2. scandals

  i caught this on you-tube recently and i thought it made a very strong point on the dangers of apocalyptic cults such as the jws.

  have a look for yourself, its saddening to know that there are still people involved with this idiocy, to this day.

  Horrible conduct by congregation Elders at my cousin's funeral.............

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  my cousin passed away last week from cancer at the age of 49. the cancer spread so fast it took our family by surpise.

  we figured she had a couple of years instead of months.

  she left 4 children(3 were baptised and 1 was disfellowshipped a couple of years ago).

  That's horrible, those people are sick.

  One of these days my JW parents are going to pass on, and I'm not sure if I'll even attend the services. If I don't show up, they'll say what a bad son I am for not going to my own father's/mother's funeral, and if I do show up, I'll get the same treatment as your cousin...who wants to be treated like that?

  I hate that cult for how they treat people..... Gymbob

  a skit on saturday night live, poking fun at visually-impaired ny governor david paterson has stirred up a lot of controversy.

  was it good comedy or bad taste?

  you be the judge:.

  I don't think the gov was worried about the disability jokes as much as he was not liking the comments about, "A governor who loves Cocaine". Gymbob
