But who determines which scriptures lend to teachings that are righteous? It is all in the eye of the beholder.
Of course, I'm sure you've got it all figured out.

How do believers defend a god who is going to murder billions and pin it on them?
by tootired2care inat that time those slain by the lord will be everywherefrom one end of the earth to the other.
they will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.
- jerimiah 25:33.

So who defines what is for teaching?
You can use any of the OT to teach... namely to not piss god off.

How do you guess which books/chapters/verses of the Bible are inspired and which ones aren't?

People, it really is this simple
by Trevor Scott inwhat will guide us in choosing the right religion?
the encyclopdia universalis is correct when it highlights the importance of truth.
a religion that teaches lies cannot be true.

I wanna say it was about 6 or 7 years ago. Since I legit prayed. It was an earnest prayer as at the time I was losing my faith. I prayed for god to help restore my faith. Either he isn't there or he gets terrible reception.

I know when I was a JW I thought atheists were evil. Just saying the word brings up thoughts of evil people with no moral compass. Of course, now that I don't have the propoganda going, I know the very idea that atheists are evil is BS. I don't tell people I know I'm an atheist unless they ask. When people I know say things like "I'll pray for you" or tell me about their church activities or their belief in god, I don't try to contradict them or battle them. They can believe whatever they want to believe and I'm not going to look at them any differently for it.

As far as I know from what the WT says, you make your dedication when you answer the questions out of the OD book and then answer the questions at the end of the baptism talk. The water part is only symbolizing it. They will probably still view you as DF.

Been inactive for about 3 years now. One meeting I was a MS pioneer and never went back except for a CA when my sister got baptised, my stepdads first public talk, and I went with NeverKnew to her first meeting. I'm really an ex-JW though.
