JWs say it's my fault I didn't go to university ?!
by ekruks inlike many on here, as a jw trying hard to follow the direction of the gb, i listened to the advice to pioneer and trust in jehovah to provide (mat6.33) instead of going to university.
after struggling for ages in low-paid physically-demanding jobs, i decided to become a student (thanks for the encouragement on here guys!).
i tell a jw i wish i had been to university when i was a teenager, and put all that pioneer time into studying hard for a good grade, get a good job, and if i had wound up tired as i am now, at least i would have been paying into a mortgage on a home and pension.

Greetings from a new member
by EdenOne ingreetings everyone.. just wanted to say hello to everyone, being a new member from western europe.. some may know me from another forum (eden, from e-jehovas-witnesses.com), but most don't, so this is my little intro.. male, in my early 40's.
still an active member in good standing of a jehovah's witnesses congregation in my country, and honestly not planning to change that status, despite my unorthodox beliefs.
sometime i will elaborate the reason why i don't feel i must leave.

What evidence is there for Jesus (NOT USING THE BIBLE)?
by punkofnice ini have often wondered if there is any actual archealogical evidence that jesus existed other than the claims of the bible.. i don't want to go down the route of 'you can't prove he didn't exist' as this is tiresome.
or 'well pontius pilate existed we found a stone with his name on so it follows jesus existed!
' that won't cut it.

mP--- I agree
One way of controlling people is by force, but this is subject to resistance. It appears the best way to control people is to find a way of uniting them. Religion does just that.
Does this prove Jesus Exist? Lets hope not!!
If people believe that they are doing something for a just cause they can be persuaded to commit acts of extreme violence.
In parts of Ireland, Catholics and Protestants have killed and maimed each other in the name of their Christian religion.
This is the opposite of how a Christian should act.
Just because somebody claims to be a Christian it doesn't mean that they are.
And if religion were banned wouldn't violent people find another cause other than religion for their violence?
Religion is one of the most effective means in uniting people, those who seek power and control often use religion to unite people into achieving their goals.
It is the quest for power and control that causes violence. The fact that people are intolerant of difference is the cause of much of the world's violence.
If religion were removed there would be something else for people to fight about.
IMHO

There are those who say, "because of how people conduct themselves"…
Belief in Him has influenced people or groups to act in various ways, some Loving, Kind; others Evil, Murders, killing in His and His Gods name. (Depending on who u think He is)
The fact that he existed is debatable, but the belief that he did and how it influenced humans to act or react is not. This is evident throughout religion.
I was told that the reason God does not preform miracles today to prove he is real is…….Because we have the complete Bible as proof of His existence…
How naive, trusting I was…
