15True God would not seek praise nor worship from us
by elbib inwhen asked: “why there is so much of suffering here if god exists?” buddha responded with silence because he knew the following:.
1) even though living in heaven, anyone can live as though he lives in hell and vice versa which means how a person thinks is the key.
experience show that whatever a person does with 100% involvement (totality = beauty), it is like he lives in heaven.

Thoughts
by thinker11 inas much as i want to believe in the bible and wish for a god that is watching over us and love us; i find it difficult to comprehend that a loving god will erase mankind with fireballs, earthquakes, and kill childrens, mothers, and fathers who refused to believe in the bible.
and i can’t help but to take their side in all these.
i mean: what has god really done to show that he is love and that he exists and is watching how we act.

Yes, theodicy is the 'elephant in the room' for religions. It logically nullifies the ransom sacrifice Jesus allegedly paid. Regarding Christianity, getting educated on the history of the Bible is a good idea.
Believing in Bronze and Iron Age mythology as truth doesn't work because we know too much now. It is an interesting observation to look at history and realize, that as our knowledge and technology has increased, the incidents of god speaking to and intervening with mankind has diminished where now only a select few who suffer from mental and/or auditory hallucinations have these 'experiences'.
A requirement to believe is to abandon logic, reason, facts, and reality. Many of the Bible's 'facts' are false. Many believers haven't even read their Bibles. If you start to think, you're in trouble as a believer.

Fraud
by fulltimestudent inif someone commits financial fraud, they commit a crime, and can be punished (jailed).. but if someone commits a religious fraud, western society does not see that as a crime.. on another thread, a poster pointed out that the jws, "literally steals peoples lives and causes horrendous damage.
of course, the jws are not the only religion to practise religious fraud.
all sorts of large and small religions make unverifiable promises and ask for financial support on the basis of their promises, which is precisely what financial defrauder does.

not all JW's are asleep
by Damascus ini am an 'active' jw but i do not agree with most of the doctrines inc blood, baptism, the memorial etc etc.i took the emblems at the memorial because i think we all should recognise and accept jesus' command to remember him.
not for one minute do i think this is only for the so called anointed.
i know it is full of man made error and that my fellow brothers and sisters are in a state of mindless, spiritual unawareness.

Once I realized God didn't exist, my nightmares vanished.
Edited to add: This took years to discover. It is definitely a process and can be a very long one for some (like me).

James, thank you for sharing this story. More of these need to be told to show how this religion is really not that good for it's members...not at all good.
My Father went inactive in 2011. He has dementia. He told me "I don't know what they are talking about anymore." Luckily he wasn't a JW in his youth and worked at a good company with a pension and health benefits. Now he is in a wheelchair in a nursing home. He will die from this awful brain disease.
And Armageddon will not have arrived.

Damascus, it is good that you've seen through the lies within the JW religion. Now you can start working on the lies in the Bible. Conduct a comparative analysis of the 4 Gospels and get back to us about exactly what it is you can actually know about Jesus.
