i was reading the accounts of those who have decided to return to the jw's and i was struck by a common theme in the posters' reasons for going back.. that theme is fear and anxiety about the future and their place in it.. my advice is to trust in jesus of nazareth and not some promises made by the wt.

how can wt give you assurance of anything when they themselves are just as uneasy?.

Ok Robyn,

It's obvious that you just want to go around and around about nothing.

No personal offense taken BTS - just a general response to your general comment about atheists. I used my self as an example because I can't speak for other folks. Maybe some do feel the way you commented on, but not in my experience.

Not offended or upset in the least. There is nothing said on this discussion forum that could possibly affect me in a negative way sweetie (except for the child abuse stuff) but definately not a jesus/god discussion. No one here puts food on my table, clothes on my back or pays my bills. Just a bunch of people that I have a common past with, some I agree with some I don't. My life is so much more than anything on this forum.

It's obvious you have trouble comprehending things but I won't hold it against you.

Kinky - you again obviously have no idea, but religious discussions are not my idea of kinky in the least.

Hey Robyn,

I can read and respond to any thread I please, thank you.

I do respect theist for what they believe as I said to each his own in case you have a problem comprehending that it means that I don't knock what you believe at all. If that makes you happy I'm glad for you.

Cheers back at ya!

No Sylvia jus in general and mostly to BTS for his "comment":

Think about what atheism really says:

We are an accident. We have no purpose. There is no reason for us to be here.

I'm not an accident, I do have a purpose and there are many reasons I'm here alive and kicking.

The atheist will say that he finds fulfillment in relationships, hobbies, maybe just a good beer. But when those relationships close, those hobbies bore, and that beer stales, what then?

This is just an all out ridiculous statement.

An atheist, truly alone, has no reason to weather the hardships of life.

I'm not alone by any means and I weather hardships of life just as anyone else does on this earth.

Why bother? He or she is just an accident.

Again, I'm not an accident and I have a very full productive life that gives me plenty of reason to "bother with living"

But as for us, we always have Jesus. When nothing else is left, we still

have a Rock upon which we trust. We have reason to persevere.

We have hope.

Because we have faith

If that's what you need to get you through the day, the week or just life in general good for you!

Why can't theist respect the way atheist feel, believe, etc... Why is your way the "right way". I don't see how anyone can believe in god, but if you do then go for it.

I feel about the belief in god the same as you do about the non belief in god. To each his own, it doesn't make you better than me and it certainly doesnt' mean my life is a waste.
