Biggest Reason For My Leaving....
by Fester in
1. jw
2. friends
i wanted to share with everyone, why i left religion all together, in favor of thinking for myself, and believing in myself.. in the bible, there are of course several accounts which i consider to be barbaric and gruesome.

i also consider the worst accounts to be inhumane.

if the bible god is consistent in one thing, it is the continuing theme of inflicting torture and torment on humanity.

i initially joined this group a couple of years back thinking it would be a great place to spread the real good news about deism.

Questions for BANE, SCHOLAR, and All Jehovah's Witnesses!

1. jw
2. friends
you don't have to answer all of them at once.

i would be happy to see your answers to any of these questions.. remember, the inspired apostle peter gave this direction in the holy scriptures: "always [be] ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of you a reason for the hope in you, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect.

" (1st peter 3:15).

If the bible is god's handbook for man, why is it such gobbledegook?
by Aussie Oz in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i don't mean the basic moral code of behavior (that many non biblical lands also just happen to have) that people use to model their lives, but the 'deeper' stuff.... assuming that god has had his divine plan for vindicating himself etc ever since he figured that adam may screw up, and he needed to let faithful mankind know the 'plan' and how to survive it all.... why is the important stuff all gobbledegook?.

the time frame, prophecy, signs and so on are all so obscure that even the cleverest theologians can't understand it or agree on it.

the 'truth' is so muddled and juggled up that every understanding can be logically challenged with an equally challengable one.

I think I'm at the point where I really don't give a rats ass about the WTBS
by gubberningbody in
1. jw
2. friends
i do like the people who were hopeful enough to get sucked in and honest enough to leave, and to me these are the ones i feel are my "brothers" and "sisters".. .

now i'm at the point in my life where i really just need to make money and try to enjoy what time i've got left.

that doesn't mean i've abandoned the search for the meaning of life, but it does mean that, like king david did in his intelligent pragmatism, realize that running around and hiding in caves from saul just wasn't getting it done and he needed to work, so he got a job as a mercenary working for the philistines.. .
