I have never been so sincere in all my life.... If you want to become an atheist ...... READ THE BIBLE.

Atheists! Would like your suggestion..
by umadevi inhi friends, i have been reading threads on atheism and how they see life from their point of view.
i must admit some of the points that you (atheists) put forth have given me something to think about.
i still have faith in god but let's say if i would like to do a research on atheism, where should i start?

JW Careers - Meter Reading??
by rrb2016 ini remember in the 70's and 80's the big jw career was pin striping...in addition to the regular careers like janitorial and window washing.
now i hear the big career is meter reading in the pacific northwest.
what are some of the other jw careers that are hot in the 2012 and the "end is closer than ever?

The worst are the ones where a local JW owns a business and has all the young dudes working for them.... Until guaranteed hilarity and arguments erupt...

Exit Strategy - My plan to leave
by FrankWTower ini've been intellectually awake for about three years now.
it's taken me time but i've figured out an exit strategy to leave the jw's as frictionless as possible.
it's impossible to leave with my dignity in tact but, leaving will be worth it.

Book - Richard Dawkins
by LV101 inanyone out there --- please be so kind to recommend the dawkins' children book re evolution.
i've ordered magic of reality but have a feeling it's the wrong book.
didn't see a children's book listed at amazon.

Magic of reality is the right book. The greatest show on earth is great if you want a good book explaining evolution with the evidence. The god delusion is a fantastic book that would stump any worshipper. The blind watchmaker is a great book of logic and reasoning on the issue of design v creation.
Another fantastic writer is Christopher Hitchens, his book 'God in not great' is grand and his debates online will live on for decades. Watch them if you can. X
We are so lucky such men have given their lives to mediating this knowledge to the public. I love it when I hear people are seeking their work, these books changed my life.

It's shocking how quickly people change from being your "brothers and sisters" to your "judge and jury" if it were all true they would be pouring love, compassion, truth, facts, unquestionable evidence all over you.... But they won't. They will resent you for being strong and raising your hand to dare ask a question, the inner strength to say "enough is enough" just makes them feel sheepish. In addition to all of this, being a JW is seriously hard work. It is intense!!!! And it heir eyes you are walking off scot free, no more early ministry, no more meetings.... They will never resent the precious religion for being such hard taskmasters, instead, again through fear they will be angry at you. Remember.... If it was all true they would be pouring love on you.... But it isn't and I am sorry to tell you they won't. It actually helps people to leave, it's the side of the witnesses you only get to see when nyou leave. I was never DFd by the way, I was asked to stop attending because I asked the elders why the society owned the majority of the shares in a military company. They told me that it was all a mistake and I should not worry about it. When I asked "what about all the people that hear about this and decide that this must just be another false religion? How can god judge them at Armageddon if they found about this scandal and so rejected the Watchtower?" this was a legitimate and heart felt question. The elders disagreed. Within weeks I was banned from being best man at a jw wedding....... And so it began.
Im not sure if you have kids or not, if you do then my words have more potency, yes it is hard, they make sure it is... But leave as soon as you can. Life is good, REAL life.
