  At last a thread that proves the bible is inspired :-

  Ecclesiastes 12.12 " Be admonished of making many books there is no end and much study is weariness to the flesh"

  It is 5am and I still can't sleep. Contemplating life, doing research on religion, world history, science...

  my husband is still asleep but he will get up in about an hour for work so i'm going to quickly tell you my inconclusive conclusion.

  i don't know if i can believe in god anymore.

  i have come to the simple conclusion that he is either dead or evil but he is definitely not loving.

  What a lovely post to conclude that God is of no fixed abode.

  Personally I have always believed children have the best imagination, and when we grow older, we suddenly stop. Why? Perhaps because any intelligent adult loses that innocence, and joyful imagination of youth. Who Knows? Certainly not me. And yet - is it truly foolish not to cherish the imagination of our youth? And if so, then happy I am to be a fool. So I understand also your last paragraph.

  Maybe you should read some buddiisam, it does give some meaning to life. and without the walls of religion. As the Buddha sad if somebody says something and it doesn't agree with your own common sense and reason, then don't believe it, no matter who said it, even if I said it ( The Buddha)

  Or here is some wisdom from The Rebel, My thoughts belong to me, not my wife, not my son, not my father, not my mother, not religious leaders, not my boss, not ...well you get the point. Anyway you wrote it much better " I think, therefore i am" and all I would add is I try to think in such a way that I am happy, to be alive.

  OKAY, GAME OVER! The number one reason the New Testament amounts to bunk

  by Terry in

  2. beliefs

  for me, the dead giveaway is this.

  jesus wrote nothing.. stop and think about that.. if jesus were the authentic messiah, his ministry would not simply be local.. his instructions, his mission, the details of his teachings would be too precious to risk leaving it in the hands of "men unlettered (illiterate) and ordinary (blue-collar yokels).".

  jesus, were he the one and only hope of mankind, would be absolutely certain to write down with great simplicity and specificity the exact owner's manual necessary to rescue mankind.. never happened!.

  Actually the one fact that keeps me believing 1% in Jesus, is the that he wrote nothing down.

  This is a message to "punk" who once asked for a subject to write for his new book.

  Punk, whilst I don't have your talent to write a book, I hope this thread inspires you, because with your dry wit and humourrous why of posting, i am sure you could write a unique humourous book to expose the Geoffrey Jacksons of this world.

  Island Man you may not like Geoffey Jacksons eyes, but you should hear what he has to say about you:-

  " You are mentally diseased, and morally deficient"

  The good news is that whilst Geoffrey Jackson may look like an Old Bald Rottiler dog, when you leave his barg is worse than his bite....

  Fulano you may be right about Geoffey Jackson not wearing designer suits, so let me answer as Geoffrey Jackson would:-

  A) This is not my field of expertise.

  B) I don't know to be honest I'm only part of the G.B.

  Or let me me give a more direct and honest answer, Geofrey Jackson wears very expensive suits, that the average modestly dressed Jehovers Witness can not afford. Now let's talk about his watch.....

  Sex: I believe he has a young wife?

  special-qualities:- Very good at making speeches ( usually talking bullshit) Always wears a tie, has own tailor made suit, and expensive Apple watch. Is thought of as extremely clever. ( To be perfectly honest his an idiot, who never uses one word when 100 will do, unless his in front of the Royal commission when he answers to challenging questions " I don't remember" or " I will have to check that information for you")

  Other important information. In my opinion looks like an old Bald Rotwiler dog.

  Iam sure Geoffey Jackson has many more qualities why he is worshipped worldwide by Jehovers Witnesses, but for the life of me I can't think of any.

  it was a big turning point for me and one of the best decisions i made.

  Freemindfade your O.P " Urging more Lurkers to "sign up" reminds me of English properganda to get folk to enlist during the war so:-

  A) " Don't just sit and read sign up today"

  B) " Enlist and take up the sword of justice"

  C) " Women lurkers of the Watchtoer sign up to Jehovers-withesses discussion forum"

  D " Come in to the ranks, and share the story of YOUR fight for truth and justice against the watchtower"

  E) " Jehovers-witnesses discussion forum needs YOU!!

  Things we an say on our death bed...

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1) i am glad i had the courage to live my life true to myself and not the life others expected of me.. 2) i am glad i had the courage to express my feelings.. 3) i am glad i let myself be myself.. 4 ) and i hope i have so many days, and years to live those thoughts, because surely the most wonderful thing about having left our " watchtower death bed" is to start living?.

  in my case at 50 !!.

  but the important thing is when we leave, to start living.. any experiences worth sharing?.

  This is where I am today in my thinking:-

  There is one life, and THIS is it. My life is the property of ME and not something to be taken away by an organization. Actually I have more to my life , and I could rumble on, but much of my life is confidential and secret, and iam sure it would bore you by reading it anyway. More to the point it is boring, Nevertheless it's my life, and it belongs to ME not the watchtower....but I am sure some of you here have gone on and made wonderful accomplishments since leaving? Fancy sharing...

  The Rebel.

  p.s if simply living life and being happy is an accomplishment, then that is my major accomplishment since leaving.

  I wonder if there are any convertees with love, hate on the knuckle, and cut here across the neck? If the convertee can answer Yes to either of those questions, I wonder if he/ she can go on the ministry? One thing is for sure it would be great if they became an elder.

  p.s I like the tattoo brandnew.
