black sheep-- i thought the same discussing the bible with a recent exJW friend of mine. if we're made in god's image then i can understand why he lets suffering happen to prove his point of sovereignty.don't politicians risk civilian casualty for their purposes?
if he has these amazing traits that we can't fathom because of our limited experience then i don't want a 'god for dummies' account. i'm ok with not understanding.
my friend said of a philosopher that had this theory that we actually have an impostor god at the moment. one that replaced the one we originally had.
who knows?
i wanted to know so bad when i was first df'ed. i had to know does god exist. i was so tormented. by now i don't even care that much anymore.

what religion are you now?
by 4digitcode ini'm sure this has been asked a million times before but since leaving the witnesses what religion (or lack thereof) have you chosen for yourself?
and what is it about that religion that attracted you?
since leaving the witnesses i think i no longer believe in god, not out of anger, actually i think i like the idea of him more since i don't believe in him anymore.

blueviceroy it seems you have found peace. teh same kind i hope i will achieve one day. i have become surprisingly humanistic since leaving the JWs; I believe people are capable of so much more than the picture religion has painted of humans.
It's so sad that the human spirit is crushed in this way. -

i'll go first.
since leaving the witnesses i think i no longer believe in God, not out of anger, actually i think i like the idea of him more since i don't believe in him anymore. Genuine faith in him helps so many people around the world that i say good for them.
i think he's just not there but that if he is he may well understand why some don't believe in him anymore.
Since leaving i have gained an interest in meditation and yoga and am keen about learning about buddhism.i'm not planning to convert any day soon but i like expanding my spiritual horizons i guess. I still believe in taking the most out of figures like jesus. I think he is a great character whether real or fictional and we can all achieve finding the answers to our questions. The world is beautiful and scary at the same time. Since not having god in my life it has been scarier and more lonely (and i solely think this is because of the intense everyday religiosity of being a JW)but it has also felt more real than ever before.
i'm glad i chose the red pill.
any takers? -

as a result, many young people have come to the conclusion that looking to pop stars as examples after which to pattern their lives is looking in the wrong place.
one such is the fourteen-year-old german boy who wrote the watch tower society the following: .
