i turned atheist before i focused on the borg.

so being blasphemous is nothing to me; like they say, it's a victimless crime.. .

but how many of you stay put in fear of jehovah's judgement?.

so, the online self-named "the creation guy" yes, "the" has written an article that will shame those of you who believe in darwin's evolution theory.. he takes on the dna.

quite a feat for a non scientist!

this man must be very close to god almighty for such brilliant insight.. in this article, his wisdom and intellectual superiority defies argumentation, with rock-solid quotes like this:.

1 John 4:8 God is Love?
by braincleaned in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in context of john 4, the love of god is manifest in that he has sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live through him.. my questions are:.

where is there any hint of love that would justify the killing of animals for sacrifice, then.

leading to a human sacrifice?.

2. experiences
when i got baptized in 1972 (13 years old) it was under the "lamp" book.. .

when asked the 2 questions standing up, i did not say "yes!

" i got immersed, but never dedicated my life to jehovah.. (not in prayer, not vocally hated the way i was imposed on i was a kid for christ's sake!).

Why not be totally free from it all?

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so many of you here have suffered from the borg and it's twisted and ever-changing teachings.. some of us turned atheists, others hold on to jehovah god and his son jesus.. both have and still suffer from all the lies, the mind-control, the loss of individuality to conform to the cult.. may i offer a personal observation, for which i could be totally wrong, and would welcome rectification if i am.. as some of you know, i became an atheist long before i questioned the borg... which at first, i still considered a loving "mother".. my aha!

moment was thru my ardent personal study; and the issue i battled with was nothing else than god's character.. now, before i continue, please be aware that i have hated god until i was convinced he was a figment of the imagination and folklore in human literature.

many of you here may cringe at these words, and i do apologize if i seem to be insulting as i would hate to be guilty of that.

Knowledge by Proxy

2. beliefs
whatever our convictions are, we all have one thing in common; we have learned them from other sources.. we have knowledge by proxy... we didn't find things out all by ourselves.

we let trusted sources talk for us.. belief is not something that you choose.

but if there is no elephant, i do not "choose" to believe it isn't there either.
