by Laika in

2. beliefs
compare: (http://m.wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102005142 - emphases mine).

... satan charged god with lying and implied that jehovah was unfair in not letting adam and eve decide for themselves what was right and what was wrong.

after adam and eve sinned and as the earth began to be filled with their offspring, satan questioned the motive of all humans.

Personal Paradigm Shifts
by freeflyingfaerie in
1. jw
2. friends
do you find yourself, since leaving the religion, having an exhorbitant amount of personal paradigm shifts?.

sometimes i question my sanity.. i feel so open to ideas...don't know where to start sometimes.. don't feel dogmatic about too many things...maybe feel that it just 'isn't for me'...at least for right now (lol).... but in all of this, i never tire of these epiphanies and spontaneous feelings of gratefulness and love.. .

does anyone else out there experience this ?.

Why do Jesus lovers accept the OT as god given.
by mP in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
given the ot has a lot of cruelties, hatred and so on, surely the fact these attributes, saying and actions far outweigh the supposed love of jesus why dont they say its all fake and throw it out ?.

like what marcion did.

wouldnt it be easier to simply delete the ot and move on ?.

all is well and good in my life right now :) with one small catch... i have a secret that i have hidden from my girlfriend.. for the first time since coming out of the borg, i have found romance.

i was lucky to meet a girl called romilda (name has been changed), and we get on like a house in fire.

we have been in a relationship for a few days now, but some of my friends have pointed out that i should be honest with her and be straight about my sexuallity.

For those of you who inactive, but not officially DFd/DAd, how do you manage?
by undercover in
1. jw
2. friends
i read with interest the thread about how people who are mentally out yet still attend (some) meetings manage to do continue to do it and it got me wondering, how do those of us who are completely inactive, no longer practicing members of the faith, manage to pull off our new ex-jw life, yet never invite scrutiny or investigation from former friends, elders, etc.. take me, for example.

i've been out several years now, but have never officially renounced my faith.

i've never out and out called it a crock of shit to anyone who could make real trouble for me.
