christians are arguing more with each other than with atheists.. christians used to be sure of what they believed solid in their faith and certain of its foundation cornerstone and what he was called.

only non-believers cast doubt and were crushed under a mountain of bible passages that were heaped upon them.

I believe that the internet revolutionised the way we think, no wonder now we have more free thinkers, before all you had was a bible that could only be read at church in a language you dont understand latin, and you had to confess and do what the pope told you to do.

Now the bible and other books have been closely examined, my problem with these texts is that god did not do a very good job in making himself known, there is a question mark and the more you look into it the bigger it gets, im not questioning god as in some or more deities we dont know.

The message in the bible or whatever quran/hadifs etc, gods word, you can never be 100% certain if its true, there are things in the bible that pushes you towards its teachings as truth such as all the apostles that have put their lives at risk for jesus, but then there are other things like the prophecy of the messiah's birth place is not the same with jesus. If god is all powerfull it does not make any sense what he did as a means to communicate to us.

Right from the start it does not make any sense, why did god favour one person? one tribe? one nation? (this also applys to muhamed), I found muhamed's teaching of hellfire kinda odd, he at times sounds like an ex-catholic mmmm...

So my answer is I DONT KNOW, that why i am an apatheist because god is apatheist

Vanderhoven7: not picking on you but you make a point I have problems with, you see I can apply your definition of faith to any religion and call it a day.

Prayer

by yrkdnme in

i am interested to know from other long time wittnesses if they had a hard time with prayer after leaving the organization?

when i left i found it so difficult to pray to "jehovah" and still do to this day.

i am always more comfortable with just "god".

Joey Jo-Jo

it is statistically proven that god does not answer prayers, in fact the god of the ot since jw,s use old covenant if you read in your bible god said that prayers will not be answered, because people were born with sin, while nt says something else prayer started before this monotheistic god existed, you could say that what we call today occultism created these religions for the purpose of creating united tribes and nations

My United State of whatever With Lyrics

I went down to the beach and saw Kiki
She was, like, all "ehhhh"
And I was, like, "whatever!"

Then this chick comes up to me and she's all, like,
"Hey, aren't you that dude?"
And I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

So later I'm at the pool hall
And this girl comes up
And she's, like, "awww"
And I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

Cuz this is my
United States of Whatever!
And this is my
United States of Whatever!
And this is my
United States of Whatever!

And then it's three A.M.
And I'm on the corner, wearing my leather
This dude comes up and he's, like, "hey, punk!"
I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

Then I'm throwing dice in the alley
Officer Leroy comes up and is, like,
"Hey, I thought I told you..."
And I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

And then up comes Zafo
I'm, like, "yo, Zafo. What's up?"
He's, like, "nothin'"
And I'm, like, "that's cool."

Cuz this is my
United States of Whatever!
And this is my
United States of Whatever!

What Is It That Really Troubles the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by orangefatcat in

well i think what worries them the most is that more and more witnesses are becoming free thinkers and that is troubling them, it worries them that thinking freely will cause them to seek answers elsewhere and that is the last thing the gb wants.

they have pulled the reins so tight now how much tighter can they pull before many witnesss crack under their yokes.

what is your thoughts on this matter.. .

Joey Jo-Jo

What troubles Governing Body membrers, the fact that they dont have not 1 living scholar that supports their doctrine.

I think that they are bringing this hard line approach because they are aware that this religion wont last thanks to the information highway, or they believe in their own lies and somehow decrease in publishers = armageddom lol.
