  first, don't laugh.

  i'm not some adolescent teen that is confused about his relationship.

  what i am going to relate here has become a maior hard ship and is really gnawing at me.

  I think I heard this in a movie but it resonated with me and I've held onto this thought for years, no matter how difficult things have been:

  There are no hard decisions in life. Every day we make hundreds of decisions, these become thousands per week and millions per year. We already know what decision we are going to make - it is facing up to and admitting that decision to ourselves that we have to do.

  Good luck and I wish you happiness. Be true to yourself, be honest with yourself and things will become clear.

  I've always believed the Bible is the Word of God.

  Where did you learn that? (not sarcastic)

  my faith in the wts is gone but i still love god and his son.

  i've noticed that many here have lost their faith in god as well as the wts.

  I get the feeling like your believing times are reminiscent of an sober person reflecting upon past alcoholism.

  ummmm no, it's not like that at all darlin. At least not for me. How do you feel when you see people who are still completely enthralled by JW beliefs? Imagine yourself having a conversation with one and it's soooo clear to you but they will defend it despite all evidence to the contrary. That's how it feels.

  Since divesting myself of the NEED to believe in something, I don't see myself as a glass half empty person at all. It's actually enriched my life and when I don't know - I say I don't know. Then I think about it, look at things from all sides, draw a logical conclusion and carry on with my life which is all about making human connections and being loving to everyone, seeing humanity for what it is and appreciating all sides of what that means. I've learned to not judge others - something that can be a challenge for people of faith because of the very nature of that faith, and attempting to understand why people do what they do whether good or bad. You don't need a belief in anything higher than yourself to accomplish that.

  I'd like to say something to all of the believers out there. I think that things get lost in translation at times between us. I can only speak for myself with certainty but when you read what those of us post who have stopped believing, a prevailing trend (for the most part) is noticeable that some of you may not really be processing. Most of us used to believe. Not only believe, but would vehemently defend those beliefs to those who didn't share them. I remember long and heated debates I used to have with atheists and agnostics when I was a die-hard witness and I always felt that I was doing a bang up job coming up with arguments that I saw as proof and those I was arguing with would lob back thought provoking questions that I threw a mental brick wall up to stop. I've been there and understand you better than you think and I believe that what may be interpreted as 'ridicule' from those of us who no longer believe has as much to do with 'holy cow I can't get over how I used to believe this too' as opposed to ridiculing any of you on a personal level.

  Just because I agree with something doesn't mean I expect others to agree with it nor does it make it right.

  I get that, darlin. We're all in different phases in our 'journey' out of the WT. It just struck me as a weird comment because it's exactly that thought which made me take a step back and re-evaluate everything. Not re-evaluating EVERYTHING seemed like more work at that point...

  By the way, welcome to the forum!

  We been trained to think a certain way. Most discoveries happen because of an accidents or because someone was thinking completely outside our education system.

  This seems like a strange comment from someone who believes in the bible. Most of us who no longer believe in the bible as any kind of divine message have come to realize that for this precise reason, it bears some serious scrutiny BECAUSE we've been trained or indoctrinated from a very young age to think this certain way.

  When Jesus walked on water, he manipulated his body weight with the aid of God's holy spirit. God followed his own laws in helping him become weightless.

  Oh sweetie...really?

  I don't think the Earth then looked as it did now

  The Earth is always in a state of change - Hawaii doesn't look now the way it did a few thousand years ago. Wanna know why? Volcanic activity is expanding the land surface. And after Krakatoa's spectacular explosion in 1883 the island pretty much disappeared up so that place really doesn't look the way it did before. Another volcanic event in the Greek Islands made Santorini look the way it does now - sure didn't look that way before. And speaking of which, guess what the Ancient Greeks thought caused that massive explosion?

  So there were civilizations of people in Japan at the time of the flood, huh? Did Noah make it all the way out there to warn them, or was there some kind of carrier pigeon used to relay the message of the god who just wasn't gonna put up with their crap anymore?
