do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.
I am just a deist,
I hold my standard of proof in a diety as a self proclaimed agnostic. Imagine how I would be as a strict atheist !
Like I said before my standard for divine proof is not that high and for some like deist's their standard is just being alive like bacteria that inhabit the sewer. Yep when you think about sewer sucking as life's passion you have time to reflect. Just like your initial observation. Huh?

and you can be proud of yourself, nobody can ever say you never had a useful job in your life, which is the case with many in the upper wt echelons. so,-- to each his own Epiphany
Why thank you Prologos Sewer sucking was always a passion of mine in my younger years. Its amazing what occurs to your consciousness when when your rootin around looking for solutions to life's questions. Sometimes they just come flyin right at you and stick!
As for a belief in a god I am not hard to convince just give me the next winning numbers in advance for next few lotto draws and I'll crawl bare naked through a 1/2 mile of fully engorged sewer sucking hose publicly extolling his/her/it or their deity.

prologos:"Did all this make itself---, or was it all, like the house I am sitting in, made in some way thework of someone? ?
I had a very similar epiphany once while working as a teenager on a septic sewer pumping truck! Similar experience for sure.
the prime minister of england made the above statement yesterday regarding any schools that influence youths in a negative manner.. he went on to say that if youths are influenced in a negative manner regarding religious teachings that promote judgement of others (including same sex relationships, etc ) or that look down on other peoples free choice, the government would take action.. i cant find a newspaper article sorry...i just heard it on the radio news.... very interesting though...it may have a bearing on how those who learn ttatt are treated by the organization??

I thought you Brits had entrenched free speech into your laws?
John Stuart Mill in 1869 in his book On Liberty approached the problem of authority versus liberty from the viewpoint of a 19th-century utilitarian: The individual has the right of expressing himself so long as he does not harm other individuals. The good society is one in which the greatest number of persons enjoy the greatest possible amount of happiness. Applying these general principles of liberty to freedom of expression, Mill states that if we silence an opinion, we may silence the truth. The individual freedom of expression is therefore essential to the well-being of society. Mill wrote:
has anybody here experienced a bonafide, real, true incident in whicy 'demons' actually interacted with you or did something 'supernatural' that left you convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that satan and his demons exist??.
.
who has experienced real demonic incident?
If you could only visit my JW relatives they would all give testimony that would probably pass polygraph analysis that every meeting with me was and is a demonic incident ! I take a certain satisfaction from such incidents even if the nuances of such meetings are imperceptible to most. LOL
the wife and i here lately have received little unknown bug bites, on our legs and arms.. so today in my senior class the instructor ask if anyone received any unknown bug bite.. there were 75% that raised there hand and everyone ask, what the hell is it.. these insects are ferocious biters.
they don't spread any diseases, but they will keep you indoors.. they are called valley blacks gnats, they feed on blood.

You should try diesel fuel, rub that on they don't like that either used to use it for that purpose when I was a kid. Works great! But there are downsides to it though.

So, does anyone have anything of value to say?
Viviane you are a cantankerous sort. That's a fact! But I think you have value at least to me.
when i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.
today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.
support?
none of my jehovah's witness relatives called to tell me or my family.
just found out this morning.
