  the science is in: god is the answer.

  research shows kids raised with spirituality are happier and healthier in the vulnerable teen years.

  Tell your kids Santa exist and they will be happier for it and behave better on the assumption of reward,

  Doesn't make Santa real.

  Correlation does not imply causation and is a well known logical fallacy.

  Need your thoughts... Again

  (sorry for any typos, i'm on my ipad) so, remember how in my last post i mentioned that i had told some of my dear friends why i decided to leave?

  well, one of those friends was a girl... not just any girl, but rather, a girl that i've loved since the moment i've met her.

  she used to say that she considered me her best friend and we were really close she just never really returned my feelings for her due to different circumstances i presume.. but i always felt a connection.. anyways, after telling her that i decided to leave because of multiple reasons but that the tolerance of child sex abuse was the final straw, she responded asking where i got my information and that she wanted to talk about it with me.. this feels like an opportunity for me to tell her about my findings, what do you think?

  Use court documents and news reports, that's enough. Then read the scripture "you will know them by their fruits" then repeatedly state "what rotten fruit is worse than paedophilia?"

  I admit it, I believe in evolution.

  after leaving the dub religion behind, i read everything that i could get my hands on, be it about other religions, beliefs, gods, occult, evolution - you name it - i read it.

  i did this to 'catch up' and to educate myself, so that when i can to a decision it would be an intellectual / educational one.

  not just because some book or person told me to believe it.. i have over time and with reading aids come to totally believe and accept evolution.

  to date JWism has defined my life and i hate that TRUTH

  and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.

  but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .

  how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?

  Atheism

  recent events and book reads (one suggested by cofty i believe- thank you) have lead me to the only logical and acceptable conclusion:.

  there is no god.. simple logical reasoning: matter can neither me created or destroyed.

  so the amount of mass in the universe is constant.

  What a great thing to read, made my day. Good work.

  Reason, evidence and effort along with a huge dollop of honesty will lead people to this conclusion, there is no other.

  May I strongly and humbly suggest reading "The greatest show on earth" by Richard Dawkins, not only will it inform you about evolution, but give you mountainous undeniable, evidence that you can share And help others with.

  Now you have opened your mind to science and evidence, don't stop there, go look at the data, it's where the exciting element to science begins....

  i realised something today.... we all happily accepted something really ridiculous.....something that if worded how i will word it now, we would have rejected as ridiculous, but after a moments thought, would have to concede.. we once followed the governing body because we believed they had supernatural powers.

  how ridiculous you may say, no we didn't!

  of or relating to things that cannot be explained according to natural laws.

  Exactly Galaxie,

  the last discussion I had with an elder, I raised this point. I asked why they made mistakes, he said "because they are just men reading and interpreting the bible" ....so I said, "well I can do that, surely it is safer that I do it as I know my motives, I don't know these men." He then, like grass in the wind hopped to the ..."well they have gods spirit directing them"...: which brought us back to ..."why do they make mistakes?"

  They can't have it both ways....

  What part of asking a deity for guidance with your eyes closed and head bowed ,as its spokesman on earth, to be directed by his 'active force' is ....natural? Explainable by science? It is by definition a super-natural claim.

  That was kinda my point mad Irish dude....
