I do not have the idea I am in a state of denial.
And that's why it's called denial lol..... I'm just giving you a hard time, now
My experience is just different. Is that really so hard to accept?
I respect that

Board of bitterness
by 1009 ini always was a critical jw, now df and agnost.
but still this religion fascinates me.
in my eyes most jw are very sincere, but dumb sheep.. this board is filled with ex-jw.

Personal Paradigm Shifts
by freeflyingfaerie indo you find yourself, since leaving the religion, having an exhorbitant amount of personal paradigm shifts?.
sometimes i question my sanity.. i feel so open to ideas...don't know where to start sometimes.. don't feel dogmatic about too many things...maybe feel that it just 'isn't for me'...at least for right now (lol).... but in all of this, i never tire of these epiphanies and spontaneous feelings of gratefulness and love.. .
does anyone else out there experience this ?.

Fernando~ truly (and I mean that )
Xanthippe~ thanks, about the name
as long as I can still change my mind I know I am still alive.
one of the best things about being a human is this freedom
Vidiot~ Most of my shifts actually occurred when I was still in
That's interesting.
poopie~ According to Witness beliefs and records some as young as 6 get baptized. How can anyone that is 6 decide what is real and what is not real.
personally, I think 6 yr olds may be closer to what's 'real' than many 'mature' people. Yes it is tragic that some so young are basiclly forced to make a decision ('stand for something' that they don't really understand fully) that will affect the entire course of their lives
darth frosty~ Rumi is amazing, beautiful
"human beings are waking up...global paradigm shift"
awareness is contagious...a good epidemic...
spread organically, even without direct contact

Dang it, I'm still up~
Those monkeys have been reading the bible..correction: a few alpha monkeys told a group of monkeys how it should be..and then each would then in turn, whilst grooming another monkey's hair, spread the good news about how to be. There is no way they could figure anything out on their own..everyone knows that
This guy makes the most sense lol!
Reggie Watts, TED Talks~
(couldn't link this for the life of me..)

S3~ that's so true. in a way, discovering the reality of the big lie is so huge that it can shake a person enough to really dig deep, be willing to question everything. That is a good thing
Free Thinking, yay!

Yes, that's the stuff I'm talking about..Humanism is in the same vein...I'm always thinking about these things
Thanks!

Thanks for the response, Adam... having read some of your posts, I appreciate your way with words.
Read some good self-help books (that might have gotten you DFed before!), poetry, philosophy/ethics
That's largely where I like to dwell...and then those ideas open up others..and so on
Mostly enjoying the ride, but then, on a real-life practical level... that's when it get's interesting

That quote "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" sounds like a bunch of malarkey...as if a person should find a a belief, any belief and squeeze it tight
maybe I'm in observation mode

Meteor shower tonight!
by BrentR intonight and into tomarrow morning is the annual perseids meteor shower.
this year will be great viewing since the moon will not be up to drown out the meteors.
the activity should start peeking around midnight and you want to be looking northeast.. early next month a very rare shower (the aurigids) that astronomers know very little about.. read more here:.

"So you're not going to give me a cup of coffee this time either?".....
didn't get to finish it as he talked over the top of me about his prophecies and gay marriage.
How obnoxious
I then said, "All religions are crook and I'm done with them!" and he heartily agreed!
That's better
