  if these things come true and many people have them whether believers or non beleivers, where do they come from.

  And the proof for any of that is where?

  Wishful thinking and confirmation bias are not a good foundation for establishing truth.

  Edit to add Syme nailed it.

  PEER PRESSURE!!! I gave in to Pioneering during August...I feel dirty...

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok, i'll admit it...i am weak.... as everyone knows, the pressure to "pioneer" during "the most momentous, awesome, amazing, centenary anniversay of jesus invisble kigdom rule, & distribute tracts about a dodgy website" campaign is very strong at the moment.... also, many will have read my threads about the extreme views and expectations in our cong for "all appointed men to pioneer" etc..... every elder and ms and their families have been announced as pioneering....i mean everyone's name was read out except mine..... i was not going to do it, as i do not believe anyone should be forced...(and of course its the last thing on earth i would rather do anyway since learning ttatt).

  but i am not quite ready to make the break yet, so i realised that i would stand out more if i didnt put in a form to pioneer.

  yes it would make me more conspicious, and make fading harder to do...it would bring more heat on me if i didnt pioneer.. so i gave in and submitted a form.... now, of course, i'm only going to make sure i'm seen at the key field service groups etc...but then go and do something more interesting...like count blades of grass..... ahh....i feel hypocritical to myself now......

  The question you need to ask yourself is: when will I make a stand? When will the circumstances be "right"?

  My reaction is that you will never leave until you are ready to stand up and be noticed and not just fall into line with the slightest push.

  Grow a pair and man up.

  Does consciousness end with the death of the body

  by givemejustalittlemoretime in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  apparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.

  they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.

  You are correct, I was sloppy in my wording.

  I dared to challenge my beliefs, all of them when approaching 40... I did learn critical thinking and followed the evidence to atheism. It was not a long road to travel, but that's just me.

  Does anyone live by any Bible stuff?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.

  i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?

  i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.

  It's odd, I was far more dishonest when i was a uber dub bible believing "christian" than I am now as an atheist.

  I dont drink, gamble (apart from lotto), fornicate, do any drugs, steal or lie. I like my life uncomplicated and my closet skeleton free. No bible, no god required, it is who i am.

  it's a cult, they are in it and you are not.

  Read about cult mind control and you can begin to understand the grip it has on them and ways to look past their cult personalities and spot the real person still in there sometimes.

  Combatting cult mind control by steve hassan is eye opening or else look stuff up on the net about the BITE model of cults.

  You just did it stormcrow, by posting you make this thread more visible instead of it dropping off the list of active threads.

  Good to know bigmac, I will haul myself down south for meet sometime.

  Today's "gay-bashing" and other embarrassing content public talk!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  oh wow..... the public talk today is certainly embarrassing for witnesses!.

  started (completely left field too...seemed to come out of nowhere) with condemning homosexuality, and anyone who even tolerates it.

  if you like tv shows or movies with gay characters, you are "just as bad" (eg modern family tv show).
