  Is true faith possible?

  by freshstart in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i still feel the need to worship and the desire for faith, but having been raised as a jw and not knowing anything else, i just feel confused and lost as far as faith goes.

  sometimes i think that maybe their isn't a god, i just don't know......

  One of our posters here is Lunatic Faith.

  I quite like one of her citations:

  A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything." (Friedrich Nietzsche / 1844-1900)

  I just love the way they put in the presentations

  [Allow for response.]

  in other words, give them a chance to speak.... but dont listen and dont take their view into account.

  How patronising

  What initial did make you have doubts about the "truth"? Was it apostasy?

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question is different from what made you leave.. as for me, i wanted to take one step further, to be more involved in the organization, but i had some very old small doubts, about other religions, so i started my liberal study on religion, i read books from other churchs to reffute them, but in fact created more doubts about the org..

  For me it was just logic. Once I took the time to think about things we believed, I realized that it was ridiculous.

  Then I realized my life was passing by, and since this is all there is, I'd better get on with enjoying it.

  At the time there was a song by the Beautiful South, which marked me:

  "I want my sundrenched Ingred Burgman kiss,

  not in the next life,

  I want it in this, I want it in this. "

  I have been drunk after drinking too much beer and after drinking too much wine.

  At that particular moment, I dont recall having noticed too much difference.

  Ah the Outer Plaiedes.

  I spent a wonderful leave there a few years ago. Made friends with a two headed Yorup from Tanges 9.

  Dont think he was a jdub though. He drank to much. Then again................

  Weird things JWs can't own or wear

  also posted on the yuku forum.. i thought it might be amusing to make a list of things i remember when i was a dub that we couldn't have or own or wear.

  (some of these things vary by where you live, in other places dubs have them, it just depends).

  obviously the list goes on forever, but feel free to add things.

  When does God visit a person?

  by mankkeli in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i copied this from a friend's wall on facebook .

  often times, god does not visit a man until his case has been declared humanly impossible, closed or dead.

  when men say, it is over!

  Maybe this was a common custom, but I never heard of it when I was in the Borg:

  leaving your wedding ring to someone close, (son, daughter, grandchild etc).

  I love this idea of " immortality". Mrs Picard has her grandmothers wedding ring. It is VERY special to her.
