  I listened. I obeyed. Then I realized...

  what was that blessing part about?

  i kept hearing pioneers talking about the blessings that they were receiving and as i looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them.

  maybe they are just more appreciative of things than other people.

  @FayeDunaway they're probably relieved that they don't have to pay you back unless......you take them to small claims court, since you're no longer their "Brother/Sister".

  I remember always being "encouraged" by the pioneers in my Congo to join them in the work. I would look at their beater car, a minimal job, all the hours spent in field circus, and I would say to myself. ...Hell No! What made it worse was when I did spend time with them as a auxiliary pioneer, I would see how MUCH they would gossip about everyone in the hall. What a bunch of judgemental, pious, egotistical, brown-nosing, back-biting, cheap wad, $##t head Mutha&#*@$#!!!

  Hey Tony, welcome to the forum.

  I don't know why you are still going to Hall after you've learned the Real truth? Especially now that you're d'fed, there's no point in trying to front for a extended period of time to get the "friends" back. It's better to cut the ties now and live a honest life. It's your decision though.

  @scary21 A lot of people I've talked to have notice that too. I see them every now and then in some neighborhoods but more so now on the streets with that literature cart. Guess they get more time with less effort now

  Another reason god is a terrible "father"

  by _Morpheus in

  2. beliefs

  its easy to look around and say if a singular all powerful were real he would stop the suffering of man and animal, a position i support.

  however there is another even more basic premise i have pondered at times as well (im sure im not the first of course) : would any loving parent ever hide from their children?

  consider it... our all knowing all loving father hides from us even though we cry out to know him.

  The all-important question revolves around Satan questioning Jehovah's right to rule the universe and the rightfulness of his rule. Nevermind how many billions of lives of his human creatures are expended and countless suffering mankind is put through so that "Jehovah's good name" is restored.

  @EdenOne even that doctrine is screwed up with the JW because they believe "Jehovah's" name is not known to many. How can his "good name" be restored when people don't even know his name? BS for the JW and their billions of hours in wasted time

  @_Morpheus that analogy of a deadbeat father is right on the money. You could even compare it to a President/Government that promises the people peace and prosperity. They give breaks to the wealthy, pass laws that are not logical and consistently let the bad guys get away. Somehow this gets harsh criticism and a "Not doing your job" tag. But a ALL knowing and ALL Powerful God doesn't.....What kind of BS is that?

  @PokerplayerPhil Randy Watters/Dogpatch. On point with what Ray talked about in that last chapter. Speaking of Randy, when I awakened and read both those books. I wanted to read more from Ray but I was subconsciously trying to follow him/his beliefs instead of finding my own path and using the new freedom I had. I tried to ask Randy if he had the other book Ray wrote or co-wrote and Randy told me straight up that Ray is NOT a theologian. So I needed to stop trying to buy into his interpretation of the bible since Ray really was limited in real theology outside the WT. Was a hard pill to swallow at the time but true

  From what I remember in In Search of Christian Freedom, he addressed some of his feelings/beliefs of the paths many Ex-JW take after leaving the WT. He disagreed on protesting of course and he talked about people going back to false Christian beliefs. He never directly talked about atheism but attributed many Ex-JW faith in God being destroyed because of too much trust in the WT. I look back on those reads and he comes across as passive in his criticism of the WT and religion in general. He definitely didn't want any followers

Go to the 18:50 mark where it's brought up. He KNOWS the TTAT. He would had said more if that other co-host wouldn't have changed the subject
