Yes I totally agree. I've been researching Bhuddism for about 3 years now and it makes much more sense to me than JW Theology does. I find its principles inspiring, refreshing and motivating. Christianity is full of Death, Guilt and the beleif that the more you suffer the closer to God you are. I know pioneers that would deliberately make their lives hard as it seemed to make them feel more spiritual to be always struggling. Bhuddism is about peace, harmony and internal unity...rather than external longings for a brighter future!

Buddhism Anyone?
by LaurenM inso, i have recently been delving in buddhism and i must say it all makes sense!
like, the philosophies and ideas are what i've always believed but could never put a name to.
for example, they don't believe in god, they teach acceptance of all faiths, that peace can be achieved - not by changing other people - but by changing yourself, that everyone has goodness in themselves, that happiness can be gained internally (not externally as a gift from god), and that life is temporary so we should enjoy it!

4 versions of Jesus resurrection- all different
by purrpurr ini've been reading more and studying about the bible .
it was brought to my notice that out of the four different versions of jesus resurrection they do not back each other up.
instead they contradict each other a lot.

Smiddy, that is exactly what I've been thinking for months now. Those resurrected should by rights live forever as they paid for their sins when they died. Looks like nonsense.... -

I have just read the book crises of conscience in less than 3days! I could not put it down! Even in front of my JW wife and her family. They kept asking what I was reading as I was glued to it. That book has just conformed everything I've been thinking and feeling for over 5years now. I am going to sit my wife down and calmly inform her why I won't be continuing my service as pioneer from tomorrow onward.
What where your thoughts after reading it?
