My son was murdered today

by truman in

i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

I'm so sorry. There are no words to express my sympathy knowing what you must be going through.

IS GOD REAL? HOW DO YOU KNOW?

by still thinking in

jw
friends

this is an honest question on my part.

someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.

in fact, it was a turning point for me.

Great article! I've been saying all of this stuff lately to my friends about the origins of marriage and how this idea of 'traditional marriage' is a very new idea historically speaking.

Thanks for posting this, Palmiekins!

I can't believe that there was no intelligence behind the things made.

So who made the intelligence that made all the stuff?

yes, friends, it's that time once more... when we clip some wt art to a post and try to find all the subliminal wt propaganda messages hidden in the illustration.

(kinda like, "can you find the differences between these two drawings" for kids in the sunday comics).

here's the illustration:.

"the truth" isn't capitalized. What does THAT mean?

A reason why most religious theological teachings are sociologically dangerous and damaging

by thetrueone in

just caught this short video of christopher hitchens in a debate involving religious theology and i thought.

how close it came to the jw theology and its own inherent sociological and psychological damage that it causes.

Rev Wright. off the hook...wow.

by tootired2care in

it's hard to imagine that leader of the free world; mr. obama sat and listened to this lunatics teachings for 20 years.

what trustworthy person would listen and accept this blatent nonsense for 20 years?.

Sab, for crying out loud of course we can still be friends. I wouldn't be spending all of this time going back and forth with you if I didn't want to understand you. I admit that I'm having a very hard time understanding you, but I'm honestly trying. Some of the stuff you write is interesting (in a sci-fi series, fanciful kind of way lol) and I think that you have an intriguing mind. I just sincerely hope that you swing back a little and realize that what you're coming up with as explanations to explain the universe are coming from a very dynamic and artistic mind - not from a place of logic and science. :)

I feel the need to quote someone who used to post here a couple of years ago. I think his name was sabastious...

"So whenever a Christian cries a little because us non-religious types get snarky about the Bible or Christianity I give little care for the sensitivities of a group of people who hold these attrocities as truths."

" I'm sorry you Christians feel attacked when I say the Bible isn't true, but guess what ? You get to live forever in heaven/paradise while I will be destroyed in quite morbid fashion."

" Keep your damn religion out of my laws and get your Holy Handbook's code of ethics out of society, we know what morals are and why they are good, we don't need to be told them."

" I'll take a swift death any day over living out eternity as a subject of the God of the Bible."

" there is MOUNDS of evidence that the whole Bible is a pile of crap."

I'm not really sure what happened...I get that you went through an angry period - we've all been there - but your belief system has done a complete 360 back to where you were before you started questioning things about the WT. This baffles me.
