I Let Go Of Faith Ten years Ago Today
by cofty inafter more than 30 years as a jw and 9 as a born-again christian i finally let go of faith 10 years ago today.... it was on boxing day 2004 that news of the asian tsunami put the final nail in the coffin of my relationship with god.
since that time i have listened attentively to every possible argument in defense of faith; there has never been a single moment that i have felt any discomfort with my decision.. life without god has been liberating.
no longer do i have to defend the indefensible.

Interesting.
It was my faith in God that was the first to go in March of 2005, when I got sick.
As much as I knew that God most likely did not exist after that point, I still held on to the idea that I had "the truth" and somehow it was my fault for feeling the way I did.
When I "stepped down" about a year later, the reason I cited is that when I called out to God in the only true time of need I had ever had in my life, there was nothing there but a black hole.
It was in the summer of 2010 I realized "the truth" was utter bullshit. God had been gone for years by that point!

Do you have someone you trust?
by myjourney inhi, i'm a newbie around here.
i've been reading the posts, but reluctant to step out of my safe zone.
i definitely see how coming to a safe place to ask questions, vent, etc.

Welcome MYJOURNEY.
Places like this are great because you can vent whenever you like.
I also really found it helpful speaking to a psychologist. . . . being able to speak your mind with no filters and no fear of judgement is a liberating experience.

Pope's Powerful Christmas Message
by skeeter1 inpope francis has denounced the "brutal persecution" of religious and ethnic minorities, in his traditional christmas day address.. in his second "urbi et orbi" - to the city and the world - christmas message, the pontiff highlighted the plight of victims of conflict in syria and iraq.. "too many people are being held hostage or massacred" in nigeria, he added.
pope francis also urged dialogue between israelis and palestinians and condemned taliban attacks in pakistan.. tens of thousands of people turned out on st peter's square to hear the argentine pope deliver his annual message.. he said christians in iraq and syria had endured conflict for too long, and "together with those belonging to other ethnic and religious groups, are suffering a brutal persecution".. "may christmas bring them hope, as indeed also to the many displaced persons, exiles and refugees, children, adults and elderly, from this region and from the whole world," the pope said.. .
******and, what did the governing body talk about when they addressed the world of jehovah's witnesses earlier this month?

Steve Pinker ... evidence on the surprising decline in violence
by digderidoo inthis is an interesting lecture.
one that flies in the face of current jw and i assume most non jw thinking.
evidence shows that when examining history mankind was more violent over the centuries than they were during the 20th and 21st century.

His book "The Better Angels of our Nature" is a must-read for all exJWs.
This is absolutely true. Loved this book.
I will add, however, that it is probably not for everybody as it is thick with statistics, which some find boring/unaccessible.
So at the very least, take it out from your local library (almost guaranteed to have it) and give it a try.

it was my first time in a kingdom hall since memorial 2008. as per usual, the people were lovely but the message had gaps and left me feeling somewhat blank and cold.

I know someone who went to Encinitas, but that was over 20 years ago (that they attended). . . . Interesting how small the world is.
