Leg ulcers can kill you.
Longevity isnt in my genes.
Allow room for eccentricity.
She died when I was 7 and was the only gran I knew....

i've heard some view points that state, atheists are generally more moral & caring for fellow humans, than are theists.. i'd like to hear some personal stories of life changes and quality of life after you became atheist.
i have a simple theory that may explain this.. i'll explain my theory if you'd like, after a few responses, as i really am interested in the personal changes that you experienced.. thank you very much, and i look forward to your stories..
It was also widely known long before Jebus or his cultists were supposed to have plagiarized it....

Do "wicked spirit forces" come into play in your theory at any point I wonder?
Your question is loaded to start with anyway...
my thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.
this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.
it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.
I must admit i do hate it when pompous assholes come on here and spout their particular brand of nuttiness acting as if we'd be impressed by their use of many words.
Most just mark themselves out as mentally unstable to one degree or another and make it easier to spot the next one to turn up.
its interesting to find out that there is no evidence of king david or his son solomon.
what about this amazing temple that solomon supposedly built??
there is no arcylogical evidence that it ever excisted either.
i turned atheist before i focused on the borg.
so being blasphemous is nothing to me; like they say, it's a victimless crime.. .
but how many of you stay put in fear of jehovah's judgement?.
Indoctrination can be hard to break, after all we used to really believe this stuff so why wouldnt it be hard to break.
I remember the 1st time i vocalisied out loud that there is no god I felt odd and slightly conflicted.
But once the curtain has been pulled back and there is no wizard there really is no going back to that nonsense, but even so years can go by before it is fully peeled away.
do you believe it exists?.
when you get "a hunch", do you ignore or listen to it?
?.
Intuition is very much like prayer, you only remember the times when it appears to work.
so one of my in-laws, a born in dub, started asking me questions about the issues i am having with the religion.
so i told her, rather carefully, how i discovered all the child pedophile cases, went over some of the case details, explained it is occurring all over the world, so isn't just some random misunderstanding, but is widespread hiding of child sex u all abuse.
she was horrified.
Probably nothing will happen. Sister will be warned off looking into anything and her doubts smothered and will probably be wary of talking to you.

well, of course nothing else would be expected, but it passes me off.. for example, they show this short video that shows a child dying, shows her father crying as he visits her grave...and then she is reunited with her family in "the new system" and then it shows a handicapped girl who is sad she can't ice skate with friends...fast forward to tns, she can skate!!!
then an elderly couple is shown happily young again.... .
and of course the end is "so close!
Stay home, you'll feel much better...
