no need to turn anywhere. no need to exchange one drug for another. i know, leaving the jehovahs one's still used to being led. but now it's your turn on the steering-wheel. you're no longer sitting in a train, you've got your own brand new car.

Where have you turned to?
by Robert7 ini am very curious, since i am myself trying to figure out where to turn to, if anywhwere.
(i am still debating if i am truly an atheist at heart and religion in general turns me off at least as of now) where have you turned to since you left the wt?
i would imagine that many people who became witnesses had spiritual needs (which is ironic why i am feeling atheist, lol) but have you gone to other churches, stopped going to church, become atheist, etc?

Weirdest People you've met while Witnessing!!! {Nut cases}
by Witness 007 ini once called on a guy who invited us straight in...then told us he was "lazarus son of god.
" he had a cazy look in his eye, and would repeat this line every few minutes.
the brother with me was trying to "reason from the scriptures" that he in fact could not be lazarus...i just wanted to leave.

one time a young woman wearing only a t-shirt and no underwear opened the door... didn't know where to look at. i was in desperate need of a coffee-break after that. actually a cold shower would have been more proper.

either install linux or use a mac. then you won't have this kind of problems.
where do you host your page? do you use weak passwords? do you update your software regularly? -

that very much depends on how JWish his parents are. my mom would love her grandchildren, no matter what, although she's the only pioneer in town. she'd try to indoctrinate the little child all the time though.

Self Deceit and Faith.
by hillary_step inthis thread is inspired by a comment made on another thread, but i thought it would make an interesting discussion.. self deceit is described as a "misconception that is favorable to the person who holds it".
my premise is that faith is a form of self-deceit - lying to oneself.. so, i would ask of the "faithful" the following questions and would request that they be read carefully to ensure no that there is no misunderstanding of purpose.. 1) in what way is faith not self-deception?.
2) is a person who has faith in a god that you do not believe in, say for example siva, practicing a form of self-deception?.

i believe it's perfectly valid to not only punish the bad bad fruit-eater, but also all his descendants.

i believe that bad things only happen because people don't pray enough. i know that, because my mother told me she didn't have any money to support us, so she was praying to jehovah and he sent money through a brother. so i believe those who die of hunger, those who are killed or raped or tortured just don't pray enough. or do it out of the wrong reasons.
