  Of Teapots and the Tooth Fairy

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "a friend, an intelligent lapsed jew who observes the sabbath for reasons of cultural solidarity, describes himself as a tooth fairy agnostic.

  he will not call himself an atheist because it is in principle impossible to prove a negative.

  but "agnostic" on its own might suggest that he though god's existence or non-existence equally likely.

  That makes total sense~ saying you don't believe in something that cannot be proven anyway~ that could be any countless number of ideas out there making 'a-' anythings all over the place, because the human ideas and beliefs are just endless.

  But there ARE Faeries

  ...and Mermaids~

  ...and Unicorns...

  That was wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing!

  That was written in 1896?.....wow...how did CT Russell continue and become 'successful', and I'm just now reading this brilliant and beautiful piece of work? For that matter, how did any of the many and varied religions through the ages come to exist and even prosper? Surely religion doesn't pass the logic test with the passing of time and with ample research. Maybe the want for a sense of belonging and security(and of course to save yourself at the point of a sword) is a reason many sell-out and are willing to exchange their freedom for some form of religion. All these controlling belief systems causing so much hurt and confusion. My consolation is~ I am free now...

  I love how honest he was. He really took the time to learn about it all, with no agenda other than seeking truth.

  Around 9 minutes into it, he starts bringing up some great points~

  ~Wouldn't it have been nice for god to ask Joseph before using his fiance's uterus?

  ~God promotes slavery..for life, is this considered 'moral'?

  ~God promotes brutal killing of little children, is this considered 'moral'?

  This little WT brings up such anger and sadness!!!! How can anyone reason with someone who is constantly being fed this toxic backwash, which supposedly springs forth so lovingly from god almighty himself?!!? It's constant, constant. No dignity for anyone in this WT at all. No dignity for the "helpless" family who 'lost' their family member to the 'evil world'....and no dignity for the 'sinner', who isn't there to defend him/herself as to the quite possible 'good' character that he/she actually has.

  I remember as I was contemplating leaving the religion, a thought that kept coming....if it's the truth, why does it take so much work to keep on believing it?

  It takes alot of WT articles, alot of 'faithful' slaving away to keep convincing yourself of something that just isn't quite right, and you'll be damned if you'll let any former JW's get in the way of all the hard work of maintaining that illusion of 'truth'......because man, that would just blow your entire belief system clear out of the water....scary, heavy stuff...

  ~Close to Others..Close to My Self~

  i am using this as my very own personal therapy session to express some of what has been swimming around in my head~.

  it may not take much shape, i'll be letting it flow.... there is nothing like feeling understood and accepted and loved for who you are.

  but that's a difficult thing to really feel when there is little or no history with a person.

  AK~ The ones that have touched me or I've felt close to are free-thinkers and artists, artists of all kinds. The mundane, obligatory in life mostly is a nuisance to me. It isn't arrogance, it's living. I spent plenty of time in servitude to the precepts of the religion and have since allowed myself to fully explore my wilder side. JW's are not the only ones who have angst in their lifestyle, but it is each individual's choice to remain in a prison or not. Even in my saddest moments, there is a sense of surrendering to the ebb and flow of my own rythms and a liberating feeling that anything can happen to me. Having said that, there is a profound joy in the simple pleasures in life. My little faeries remind me of this daily. Words are limited in their ability to express a feeling, but love is the closest to describing what drives me. Thank you for coming here~ peace, love, and best wishes~
