  i came here as a person interested in truth and i have not been dissapointed.

  i have had a thought.

  this thought is that maybe wbts is really an agent for evil.

  i know maybe not the most original thought .

  Is it bad to be an agnostic?

  by blueviceroy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on a prior thrread someone asked about one true religion .

  i think that is kind of agnostic thinking .

  as i grow older and develop more perspective on life it seems that an agnostic view is really just an honest view no dogma no preconcieved ideas just observations.

  i'm wondering what jesus means when he says the only way to the father is through me.

  does he mean believe i existed?

  does he mean believe what i teach?

  Being true to yourself

  by blueviceroy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  you know ,i was studying with someone who was a jw and came to this forum thinking it was a jw thing and found something i didnt count on and that was people that had bee there in it and saw it for what it was.i read so mant posts and realized that i could never ever live like that pushing things on people instead of really living in a way that mattered to all people that are lurking and still jw i hope that maybe you will think about being honest instead of being trusting i cant help but feel that stepping back is something too few people do in any aspect of life and the feeling i have about being fed a line of crap must be pretty minor compared to the lifers out there who woke up i realized there was no way i could ever be a jw the whole time i was studying i was struggling with my own common sense that kept whispering to me that what i was hearing could really be coming from a grown man of approx.

  50 years of age being true to yourself will keep you happy if you are living a lie your life will be meaningless and desperate the erosion of all that is good in you is inevitable secrets kill slowly and its no kind of life complete honesty takes courage and strength but it is the only way to live i dont wont to sound preachy and i apolgize if i do > but im really relieved that i only had a close call< i feel as if jws prey on peoples good intentions and desire to live a good life as anti jw as this must sound let your consience be your guide.

  ( is that how you spell consience?

  drugs or religeon

  by blueviceroy in

  1. jw

  i ask myself which is more harmful slavish devotion to chemicals (which is openly discouraged) or slavish devotion to a system of beliefs which is most often encouraged .

  i understand the motivations behind doing something that defies common sense and fighting with your last bit of will to continue on a certain course no matter what your concious says.

  us recovering from addiction understand it completely.

  you scoundrals

  i thought i would give don a complete read through of "what the bible really teaches " before i made up my mind but the people on this forum have have done nothing bur confirm my suspicions that jws are really pushing mindless propaganda concealed behind a nice pretty picture.it bothred me that all the liturature appears to be targeted towards children even though they use big words.

  the big red book about revelation had a "this book is the property of" space in the front like the ones i got when i was six.

  i've been wondering how to tell don that im not really interested in become part of his organization but after reading about 1000 posts here i can really see that i would make a very poor jw.

  I think my ignorance is complete

  im newly introduced to .

  jws from a coworker and i do a bible study on saturday i hear a lot of disinfranchised former members i understand putting up with all the inevitable hypochrosy and not being given a real choice as a child could really sour you on a religion.

  im merely curious and have no intention of becoming a member as i have a relationship with god that i have worked very hard to obtain.
