  the more i learn, the less i know.. i have, a while back, mentioned this in a topic before.

  so sorry if i m repeating myself.. as a jw, i thought i had a good understanding of the bible.

  but nowadays, i really do not know what to think.. for example: i compare the old and new testament, and say to myself "what s the real manner of god?

  thank you too for your answer!

  the weirdest thing i ever expirienced, was a jw i studied with. at the time he was a special pioneer, later on he became a c.o., and finally ended up in bethel.

  he was the most intelligent jw i have ever met. he had answers to all questions you could imagine.

  but he left the truth, and became involved with the catholic church. it´s a pitty that i can´t manage to cantact him, and ask what made him do that decision. it´s so weird....i have no words............

  so, we are soulmates? :-)

  mr flipper:

  thanks for your kind reply.

  actually, ive read loads of stuff about philosophy and evolution. you name it: kant, hegel, dawkin, marx, einstein.......god knows.

  but i still tend to turn in circles. for me, life did´t evolve through chance. i know it´s not popular to say this, but i just can´t believe in anything else. so why is god making it so difficult?

  hmmmm....it´s driving me nuts.

  thank you zeroday.

  for me it´s hard to believe, that god created us intelligent beings, and then just let us do what we think is correct.

  and all that, just because the first humans sinned against god? how do we know what´s right and what is wrong? what can a simpleminded person like myself do to please god? or is it enough to be goodhearted? i just haven´t got a clue.

  for example: i compare the old and new testament, and say to myself "what´s the real manner of god?" on the one hand a wrathfull god, who would kill anyone in his way, and then you read jesus´words about loving kindness, forgiveness and so forth. i just don´t get the point.

  also, if there is a true religion, why would god make it so damn complicated to understand? why would he allow false prophesies, and weird doctrines about blood and changing teachings??? i´m confused...........

  thank you very much for your comments!

  no, i´m not in a rush. but sometimes i can´t get in touch with her, and i start thinking all types of bad things.

  i got a job to concentrate at work, and i constantly checking my emails or text messages on the cell phone. its just tough not knowing how things will develope.

  imaging giving up your your friends, parants and relatives, and to start a new life in a new town. i could imagine that being a turnoff for lots of people.

  as i said, there is no way for me to leave my place due to my work.

  it´s giving me sleepless nights.

  what can i do?

  is there really a divine creator or did the universe around us just "evolve?

  " what an incredible thought to even imagine that there could be a supernatural being so powerful as to create a universe.

  wow!

  there are so many other questions about the so called evolution.

  why are we male and female?

  what did the spider eat before it could web?

  how did our sterokopic eyes get in touch with our brains?

  what did birds do before they could fly? and: what type of genes thought that aerodynamics where cool to develope on their own?

  hmmmmm............

  when i was a single jw, well, lets say around about my early 20ies, i used to to let my mind flow a bit during the kh meetings.. welll, anyway, i used to observe some of the "older" sisters around their late 30ies or 40ies in their stockings and high heels.

  it really turned me on, i must admit.

  i couldn t concentrate much of the programme due to this.
