Why I Hate Religion

by Christ Alone in

i know this is a few months old.

but i think it's profound to people that still think like the wt trained them to think.

even after coming out of the wt, they still feel that all christians believe that they alone have the true religion or denomination.

My Experience

by wezz in

good day to everyone.

after reading and benefiting from the numerous experiences posted here, i thought it would be proper for me to share my story too.

i was born and brought up as an anglican church member.

Welcome to the site. I'm really sorry to read what you're going through. Your wife will likely be getting all sorts of 'told you so' rebukes from relatives as this is quite common with people who convert for a partner. I'm sending you a PM too, click the little envelope top right ^

i am happy to announce that today marks 22 years of married bliss to the most beautiful girl on earth.

my lovely wife was always being harassed by the local overlords for wearing too much makeup, having her hair too wild, and for not being submissive to them.

when we began dating the overlords pressured me to get her to change.

Awww, congratulations. Wishing you many happy years ahead.

when i was in beffel, i was asked to stock check their collection of magazines, going back to their first uk prints.

they wanted room and so asked me to throw out all but 2 copies of every magazine.

the irony was, this was the loft space, it was huge and empty and they didnt need the room.

Mickey mouse

Yeah, some crazy stuff right there. I had elderly JW relatives who are now dead who wouldn't have aluminium pans as recently as 10-20 years ago because of what the borg had printed.

I've sent you a PM, by the way.

Man claims church ruined his chances of playing for Manchester United

• Former semi-professional sues Baptist church for £10m
• Believes years spent as 'fervent evangelist' ruined career

A retired semi-professional footballer is suing the Baptist church for £10m, claiming the 19 years he spent as a "fervent evangelist" ruined his chances of playing for Manchester United.

According to the London Evening Standard, 46-year-old Arquimedes Nganga, who currently lives in Forest Hill, London, but used to play for a third division side in his native Portugal, quit the sport at the age of 25, two years after he converted to the Baptist faith. He believes he could have earned £20,000 a week, despite never making more than £200 a month playing semi-professionally.

"I could definitely have had a long career in the Premiership," Nganga said. "I see many players playing today who I am not inferior to – and perhaps even better than. Most midfielders are either defensive or attacking but I was both. I had something new."

Nganga has filed papers at the high court, accusing the leaders of the Baptist Union of Great Britain of destroying his social life, causing him "psychological harm" and defrauding him of money through compulsory donations.

The church said it will vigorously contest the claim.

Steve Hassan's books

by tornapart in

at the moment i can't get these books, they are not available as ebooks and i can't risk having them in the house.

but i have heard so much about them and how helpful they are that i am just wondering if any who have read them can give some insights they have gained from them that would be useful to know.

thanks in advance.

just curious here who uses the new tablet computers, whether they be android based or ipad ios from apple.

does anyone here use a phone to post and what is your experience with that?.

i'm curious as to how much more time there will be before these devices are the main computers for people.

Mickey mouse

I think this will be an issue going forward - I can't post on this site on my iphone, it doesn't wok properly on an ipad and it isn't compatible with IE9.
