Hi everyone I am a newbie and I need help

by philosopher in

jw
friends

i have been coming here for some months y i must admit that i am still in.

but i have serious doubts, i mean, i am 99.9% convinced, the jws are not the true religion, but i still live with my family, and they are jws, and i love them.

my parents have a long time been jws, and it is very hard for me to tell them the truth.

I have more than 30 years in the JW, and found recently that is all fake. You are in the right track.

Why to people give thanks (prayer) to god for their food?

by sinis in

i find it completely ironic that people thank god for food and clothing, when if you look at the ot in genesis you see how yahweh curses the ground and tells man that he will work his ass off for food, shelter, daily life.

why are people giving thanks to a god who knowingly made life hell to begin with?

couldn't it be said that man works for his own food and that he should be thanking himself?

using humour with cult members

by besty in

folks i needs some input on this subject.. i have 3 family members who are shunning me due to their jw belief system and i would like to prime some non-jw relatives on the use of humour to reach out to them.. its not right imho to poke personal fun or be sarcastic or unkind about their belief system so what do we do?.

any suggestions on how humour can be used in this way?.

garybuss + dogpatch - you guys are the experts - please advise......
