I remember trying to wrap my head around the story at the tender age of five. Big J wants his people to worship him in the desert (god knows why). So he sends Moses to negotiate their release, but big J "hardens" Pharaoh's heart in order that he would refuse - only to punish him for saying no. And this sh%& happens TEN times! Oh and animals die, lots of animals. It all made perfect sense.

If you throw away the Bible after life in the Watchtower, that really tells you the power of that organization.
Vinman, if you were born around here (33°23'01.2"N 43°34'54.5"E) you would have wholeheartedly believed in the Quaran and probably be the best Muslim you could possible be. Because that's what you were taught by your parents, and their parents , and society, etc, etc.
If you were born around here (25°19'48.1"N 74°35'28.8"E) you would have wholeheartedly believed in the the Vedas and be the best Hindu you could possible be. That's what you would have been taught (indoctrinated).
Once you start questioning your faith and believe system, YOU START TO QUESTION EVERYTHING.
Have a look at the stats:
- 2,173,180,000 Christians (31% of world population), of which 50% are Catholic, 37% Protestant, 12% Orthodox, and 1% other.
- 1,598,510,000 Muslims (23%), of which 87-90% are Sunnis, 10-13% Shia.
- 1,126,500,000 No Religion affiliation (16%): atheists, agnostics and people who do not identify with any particular religion. One-in-five people (20%) in the United States are religiously unaffiliated.
- 1,033,080,000 Hindus (15%), the overwhelming majority (94%) of which live in India.
- 487,540,000 Buddhists (7%), of which half live in China.
- 405,120,000 Folk Religionists (6%): faiths that are closely associated with a particular group of people, ethnicity or tribe.
- 58,110,000 Other Religions (1%): Baha’i faith, Taoism, Jainism, Shintoism, Sikhism, Tenrikyo, Wicca, Zoroastrianism and many others.
- 13,850,000 Jews (0.2%), four-fifths of which live in two countries: United States (41%) and Israel (41%).
You believe what you were taught. Unless you prefer to think for yourself like most of us on this forum . . .

is good calling me back or am i just letting my emotions get the best of me?also i really want to be closer to my jw family.

btw i was never baptized and i consider myself a born again christian i go to a baptist church and wath televangelist and i have expirenced gods presence like never before but sometimes i get fearful and think "what if jws are right and i'm wrong" than i'm screwed!but if there wrong and i'm right it doesn't look to good for them.. i would prefer if nobody posted "god isn't real" type comments.

i truly believe he is real but i respect why some are atheists..

What if Mormons are right? What if the Muslims are right? What if the Seventh Day Adventists . . .
Uhmmm, everyone's wrong except those who bow down to and accept the deity known as the FSM as their only salvation. Ramen.

Awesome news Cappytan. You did a fine job of leaving subtle hints and un-witnessing relentlessly. I'm glad she's okay with the fact that you yourself are awake. I hope the transition from her own droggy "awakeness" to being a full fledged, wide awake, educated ex-jw is a smooth one.

Cofly, if you're using Chrome, hit Control and N. It opens up an incognito window that doesn't rely on cookies, etc. Call it and untraceable "clean" window. Well worth a try.
