Seeker: You said:"Aren't you tired of living in the world of "grumpy old gods?" Don't be worried that your family will expand their thinking by coming to this website, be concerned that you seem to be stuck in the same old place.
Thanks for your observation but you have some things out of line
1. I dont view God as Grumpy nor do I believe in (god's)
2. I don't fear my family will come to this site...I hope they do!
Coming to this site has not changed my beliefs nor will it necessarily change theirs. It could. If it does then they have seen things another way. I trust they will evaluate things before they do.
Whichever way any of us turn...my belief is God knows hearts. If many here FIRMLY believe the way they do then they will be judged on their honesty. That goes for jews, muslims, whoever.
I can't believe a loving God would do away with anyone who honestly believes they are doing/believing the way they truly feel is right. -

Joelbear: You are so good with words! You said " I doubt that I would ever be an atheist either. However, I will continue to question until the explanation of god offered makes more sense"
I feel the same way. The DESIGN in our universe and with all that is in it makes it hard for me to understand how ones come to feel as they do about God. I still have many unanswered questions myself about how God operates and why he has done what he has.
Jesus in saying if you seek wisdom and dig for it as for gold tells me that questions we may have are not always on the surface. I feel some give up digging too soon before coming to other conclusions.
It has never made sense to me that someone as powerful as the one who has made all this around us just left us here and then he takes off doing something else. There is a reason he took the time to arrange this planet in the way that it is designed and put life on it.
Things work in harmony too well for a 'Higher Power to make it and not leave us a reason on why he did it.
OK FOLKS!!!!!! LET'S HERE YOUR 2 CENTS WORTH! -

Patio34:Your question is a little skewed and I can't answer it the way it is.
In a better form for me would be: did this board influence you to become an atheist?
Thanks for the correction...perhaps this should have been my question but hopefully my point will be made.

Why Jw's Are so Blind to the REAL TRUTH?
by disneycuty innow that i am out i have a hard time understanding why people accept these changes from the society as "new light" and than view it as "truth.".
when i remember reading the scripture that "satan blinds the minds of the unbeliever.
" i didn't know that scripture applies to jehovah's witness.

Hi dis: Nice to hear from you again!
You said: I have a hard time understanding why people accept these changes from The Society as "New Light.
Once we believe that Jehovah is using the "Faithful Slave" as his mouthpiece, then you can believe anything they say.
That is all a part of mind control.
I remember how exited I used to get when someone would mention there was "New light" in the latest watchtower and I would hurry to read it. At the completing of the bible there was no New Light.
Again....nice to hear from you -
