Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

by LaurenM in

do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

Cappy:
What does that even mean?

It's not meant to mean anything in the same way as the statement, "Thurdays are the square root of carrots".

none of my jehovah's witness relatives called to tell me or my family.

just found out this morning.

This morning's magazine trolley encounter..

by GodZoo in

was just out shopping and came across two middle aged female witnesses with their magazine trolley..

i approached them and they were all glee and smiles and ready to hand me a couple of magazines.

one moment ladies i have just a couple of questions..

SecretSlaveClass

Nicely done GodZoo.

I've only seen one trolley/stand so far and that was in Seattle while we were on vacation. I wanted to anti-witness but my wife held me back. Are there any at all in New York?

And doing God’s will.

by StephaneLaliberte in

my father is still in the truth but keeps in touch with me from time to time.

the other day, he sent me an email about how the generation could be a 120 years like it was for noah.

so, i responded saying that itd be a good thing if it turned out to be true; that he may believe it to be true, as long as he doesnt judge people who dont feel the same way.

I hate to say this to folks in a tight spot with their loved ones, but here goes ...

The bOrg commands that they put their loyalty to Jehovah before their loved ones. If they are "dedicated" JWs, why would you expect them to put you first? To the "zombies" the bOrg will ALWAYS be their first priority. Having to accept this sucks for sure, but it doesn't and won't change anything unless they decide the bOrg is full of shit themselves.

been reading for about 2 and a half years, thought i would take the plunge and sign up.. my circumstances... i live in uk, serving as ms. i am fully awake.

i can not leave due to family, so just treating the meetings as a bit of a social club.

i would like to give out more details, but i think you all know the drill.. complete disillusionment and i suppose natural curiosity woke me up.. don't know what else to say right now, just hello, and i hope to get to know some of you guys better.

Using the internet can destroy your Faith.

by James Mixon in

that's the conclusion of a study showing that the dramatic drop in religious affiliation.

in the u.s since 1990 is closely mirrored by the increase in internet use.

of the u.s population had no religious preference.

Secret Slave,
Scientism is every bit as much of a cult as the JW's. Be careful that you are not drilling out of one prison cell into another.

I appreciate your concern Perry. However, unlike your religious ideology which has only one source to refer to for belief and not fact, there are thousands of scientific sources I can bounce my "search for facts sonar" off to the find the common denominator in question in order to draw an informed decision which is never a conclusion, unlike your factless ideology which has its conclusions set in concrete and refuses to adapt to new information or facts.

Just recovering from a 'Mormon Mind Melt' ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

i was in town centre about an hour ago to buy a shirt and tie for an upcoming job interview when i was stopped by a youngish, clean cut american young man (20-ish) in a cheap suit.

my heart sank as i thought it was local jws.

to my slight relief, it was mormons!

Before I moved out to New York with my wife I stayed in Park City, Utah from 1998-2003. Many of my friends were Mormons and used the opportunity to pick their brains and read their literature. Although I found their beliefs easy to tear apart (claiming that there were ancient Israelite and other kingdoms on the Americas continents but zero archeological evidence to support this), they never once got offended, but merely chose to dodge questions the way all ideologists do. In my opnion the religion is truly a "clown" religion in how preposterous their claims are:

1) Jesus returned a second time just to annoint the US and its people as the new Holy Land with a new chosen people. No records of such an event has ever been found.

2) The angel Moroni showed Joseph Smith the sacred golden plates and was told to bury them near his home. These big, solid gold plates have never been found, despite only have been burried around 1823 and that area of New York being heavily excavated and built on.

3) There were feudal kingdoms akin to the great kindgdoms of the Middle East in the Americas, yet apart from those mighty civilizations of South America, nothing even close has ever been discovered on the North American continent, which is just silly considering the development in the US yet no one has stumbled on any of this mighty kingdoms.

I chose these points because they don't challenge the concept of magical beings, but common sense when one considers the lack of archeological evidence to support these claims. In terms of practical argument, their claims are absurd.

What really struck me are how many misconceptions there are regarding their beliefs and lifestyles.

1) They don't have sex through bedsheets

2) Mormons practicing polygamy are ostracized by the mainstream Mormons

3) Mormons do not shun

4) Mormons only constitute about 40% of the Salt Lake City and surrounding counties population.

5) Mormons do not own all or even most of Salt Lake City's real estate.

What I did like about them is how proud they are of their outdoors. When I was last there (2014) there was no litter to speak of everywhere we went. Entire communities volunteer to keep their alloted areas clean. The health care system is also regarded as one of the best in the country.

The religion itself may be for clowns, but I really liked the people.
