  full disclosure, i am an atheist/slight agnostic and really don't believe in god/s.. however, i do find solace in a good evensong at the cathedral.

  because one of my kids came with me, it has inspired him to become a christian and hence got baptised in a uk high church (anglican cum catholic hybrid).. so, i take him to visit different places eg, ely cathedral.

  he likes me to accompany him to his new church.

  I haven't commented on this thread because I don't tend to watch ex-Jobot stuff on youpube or read stuff anywhere other than here. I've really moved on in many respects.

  However, Mr Evans turned up as a suggestion when I put youpube on to look for music.

  I had a quick gander and good grief!!

  I was confronted by a strange cartoony character I'd expect as a baddie on Dr Who. He was basically on the grift in my opinion. I turned it off and watched some 1980's motorbike being restored instead. It put me off watching a concert....put me off my dinner too.

  Grifting!

  Jan - May l ask if your son was ever part of the Org and exposed to JW teaching ?

  You may.

  Sadly, I brought him up in the filthy, disgusting cult. Yes. He finds fellowship with St Paul's High Church actually quite genuine unlike the Corporation(tm) fake love. They all like me too, even though they know I'm mainly atheist/ slightly agnostic. I've had some interesting conversations with Rev Ron and his Missus.....I was very polite when expressing my views. They all seem to think the Corporation(tm) has ruined my mind.................it has.

  Thanks Breezy, I will convey the same. He will be most interested.

  LUHE - He's gone from a 'G-man' who was constantly arrested,

  to a clean living geezer. On one of his encounters with the rozzers, one said to him, 'What does your Dad think of all this?' How the rozzer knew about me baffles me still.

  Thanks SBreeze, I shall convey this to him. He will appreciate it.

  Vandy - Typical 'partisan' propaganda from the Corporation(tm).

  The illustrations that befit Watchtower(tm) would be too disgusting to make. Child abuse springs to mind and how Watchtower(tm) WILLINGLY enables this vile crime.

  Dodgy Knees - I attended a mini service there. I'm not familiar with the Tribe.

  I will go back there some time because the parking is free in Ely.

  2. bible

  rev, 13:17and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

  here is wisdom.

  let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.".

  Many people are speculating

  Yes. Speculating. We could leave it at that. However, with the dream of Biblical bliss, many seem to be looking for a 'sign' in their own life time. So far, all went unfulfilled.

  TBH. You can connect anything to a Bible statement and make it fit your preferred narrative.

  Why not use the Quran or another so called 'Holy book'. These 'religionists(tm)' are all at it. Seeing fulfilment of 'prophecy' where there is none.

  Yep. Speculating.

  Better off PIMA than POMA or POMO.

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the situation is many of us are pima and all putting on a front, sometimes saying something we don’t fully believe.

  or at least are actually agnostic about but a hope that it’s true.. but it can be useful if someone is really going through a hard time or has something they are very worried about, to say things like well let’s hope there is not much longer of this old system.. this can be useful in an awkward situation where you just don’t know what to do or say.

  it’s a little bit of hope that can help when there is nothing else.. my agnosticism just means i won’t look back over decades thinking i wasted my life.

  Perhaps death is what gives life meaning.

  If we lived forever, perhaps we would run out of things to do.

  If we know death is coming, we fill or lives with meaningful stuff before the grim reaper comes.

  LUHE - Our teacher read the Silver Sword by Ian Seraillier when we were in Junior school. I still have a copy.

  He also read us Fin Family Moomintroll stories and Ellidor by what's his face.

  Not all copies of Dracula have the original introduction which is a shame, it's a great part of the story.
