Left the WT but why the loss of your faith in God?

sure the wt deceived you with its claim to be god's channel but why for so many is there a subsequent loss of faith in god ?

it puzzles me and makes me wonder why they were jw's in the first place..

Homerovah the Almighty

Yes the world we live in is certainly a wonderment of diversity with all the intricacies here on earth and throughout the universe but through

discovery and evaluation the things we once assumed were gods, were found not to be gods at all, but factual elements of the known.

The sun for example was one of the prime objects that was considered in many ancient cultures to be a god or The god .

In contrary the only evidence of a god or spirit was only to be found in the imagination of ignorant men.

I think even in the bible there was mention that it would be imposable for a mere man to look at god because he is so brilliant. ie. ( Sun )

Another way to look at the situation why would a god expect us today to believe in him only , from thousands of years ago from ancient stories of

out of primitive men, when there many stories of gods in those times ?

And does the holding on to a belief in a god like the JWS for example really beneficial for humanity or any other supernatural being for that matter,

I don't think so, mankind has progressed so far now that entwining are self with this idealogical theory is progressively putting are social

psychology back-wards, back to even archaic ancient times and cultures.

Since the many religious faiths around the world ( JWS ) has divided us into select segments of indifference and many times intolerance, mankind

might be better off leaving their select faiths and start to have faith in mankind as a singular conscientiousness.

This is the main reason I am an atheist and also a humanist.

Humanism is a broad category of ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, based on the ability to determine right and

wrong by appealing to universal human qualities, particularly rationality, without resorting to the supernatural or alleged divine authority from

religious texts. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is a component of a variety of more specific philosophical systems. Humanism can be considered as a process by which truth

and morality is sought through human investigation and as such views on morals can change when new knowledge and information is discovered.

In focusing on the capacity for self-determination, humanism rejects transcendental justifications, such as a dependence on belief without reason,

the supernatural, or texts of allegedly divine origin. Humanists endorse universal morality based on the commonality of the human condition,

suggesting that solutions to human social and cultural problems cannot be parochial. [ 3 ]

one thread already started on this, although you may have missed it since the topic title is not so descriptive: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/173227/1/moving-sale.

here is a news article on it:.

The relocation would place the volunteer workers closer to the organization's printing operations in Ulster County.

This may be impart some of the their motivation, the cost of living in New York is quite high also and you can be assured

they know very well the value of those buildings and mostly the land in which they are located. $$$

There does seem to be a digressive nature to the organization of as late which makes one wonder what is the

direction they are heading, maybe they are just preening down to go into survival mode, as other posters have mentioned.

Did their consciences finally start to catch up to them, lowering their stifling arrogance back down to human levels ?

In any case it would seem that moving completely out of Brooklyn would be beneficial in many ways.

They could build better facilities to house volunteer workers for example, improve facilities for printing, the list goes on and on.

JWs & Atheists - Great (Cultic) Minds Think Alike

by Perry in

jws & atheists - great (cultic) minds think alike.

in the jehovahs witness religion, there is a ceremony known in those circles as the memorial of christs death, or just the memorial for short.

it is claimed and believed among members that jehovahs witnesses observe the exact same ceremony that is more widely known as the lords supper among christians.

The evidence for God, as a supreme designer is everywhere. The more science progresses, the more of God is revealed. The atheist looks at the same observable facts that the other 99% of the population does and draws a conclusion from Hell...... literally.

Getting a bit pompous and arrogant aren't we Perry, why didn't you mention that an overwhelming amount of the most highly educated scientists

geneticists, astrophysicists around the world are atheists or agnostics, was that something you purposely missed ?
