I think Im an Atheist :(? :)?
by chrisuk inive been pondering my beliefs for a while now and ive come across things that i just cant accept.
i was recently walking with a christian who stated that the universe couldnt just come from nothing.
he said that the universe was so complex that it needed a designer, he also said something which ive heard before.

Resist Satan. He uses sound logic and reason to decieve you!
Sorry could not resist. I too have been grieving the loss of an afterlife. It is sad, and I hate the feeling of knowing that once I am dead I will never exist again. It is sort of like gireving the loss of a loved one.

I think my grandmother did not get an exchange transfusion for my aunt who RH positive and she was RH negative. My Aunt is mentally handicaped because of it. She never got married or lived on her own.
Can you immagine taking someone who is born healthy and allowing them to become severely handicaped?

Do you miss the sense of superiority?
by Diest inthis is and odd topic but there is a part of me that really misses feeling that i knew more about the world than 99.9% of the people.
i spent so many years in school being the odd person because of religion.
i embraced it to some extent.

"We are born as everything else in the universe and then we die. End of matter and i am happy with that knowledge."
Tha it my feeling too but it is somewhat less satisfying than the feeling that you know better than everyone else.

This is and odd topic but there is a part of me that really misses feeling that I knew more about the world than 99.9% of the people. I spent so many years in school being the odd person because of religion. I embraced it to some extent. I loved the idea that I knew better than everyone else. I remember getting into arguements with other Christians or even Atheists and thinking how stupid they were. I knew what would happen to the world. I knew that I would get to live forever so you better listen to me.
I am glad that I left all religions behind me. I would never go back. But there is a part of me that really misses that sense of mental security that the JW provide. I really wish I could just know the answers to the major questions of why are we here and what happens when we die. It is a lovely security blanket. One that I miss.

Looks like the guy joined the French Legion and wrote this in a letter to his mother in October 1915.
http://www.scuttlebuttsmallchow.com/alansee2.html
Then his regiment, the Second Etranger, about 4,000 men, was transferred to the Camp de Mailly, and by the middle of October he had hopes of soon being at the front. "I go into action," he wrote, "with the lightest of light hearts. The hard work and moments of frightful fatigue have not broken but hardened me, and I am in excellent health and spirits.... I am happy and full of excitement over the wonderful days that are ahead."

Home schooled witness kids
by stillin insorry if i'm stepping on any toes here, but i haven't seen anything positive about home-schooling...at all.
the notion is that parents are taking advantage of the formative years to inculcate more worthwhile values while protecting their kids from worldly influences.
they end up with lazy, socially inept, illiterate duds who haven't a clue.

Home school can be good with parents who are educated enough to do it, and if the kids actually did it. Most of the JW kids I knew took the school out of Home School, which just let them with Home.
