  How Important is knowing the Truth, Really?

  by cameo-d in

  2. beliefs

  is the quest of finding the real truth even attainable?

  is the quest of trying to find out worth the risk and the sacrifice of losing the love of friends and family?

  oh, i know many of you will say the "love" is fake or not true if it can't hold up to scrutinty.

  Something for you to consider, Farkel

  if you decide not to continue telling your story, that is totally understandable to me after the comments from yesidid and dontplaceliterature.

  however, the majority of us would love to hear the rest of it and i think you would love (even need) to write it.

  i'm sure you are well aware that the majority of us on this board have a certain kind of affection for you and respect, and we value your point of view and your opinions.

  Your bullshit about McDonalds is a Strawman. It's a typical WT trick, the Strawman argument. I don't know how long you've been out of the dubs, but you still think like one.

  In all fairness, Farkel did apologize.

  Guys, we're all here for many different reasons. But we shouldn't forget the main reason, telling our story of how it was being a JW. We need to stay focused on that if we want to have a shot at helping others who are going through what we did.

  Remember how we felt? Lost, scared, JUDGED, confused? We need to pull together and not forget that.

  Ok BD. Now please wait outside while we discuss whether or not you've shown enough repentance to be reinstated.

  Truthseekers. Do you care about the truth?

  by whereami in

  "people are theists or atheists for a variety of different reasons - good and bad, rational and irrational.

  but when i took the time to talk to atheists, i realized that most of them were atheists because they wanted to believe in reality.

  they cared about the truth and would rather believe the truth, however difficult, than a delusion, however easy.

  Farkel you are correct. After looking at it I can see how it could of been confusing for you. I just copied and pasted exactly the way it was in the comments section of the video. Sorry about that.

  But, I did say this in my second post "Did you realize that it wasn't I who said that about your friend Bill. If you re-read it I was quoting something I thought was humorous that someone else said in the comment section of this YouTube video".

  So I thought I was making it clear of any confusion that might have existed.
