  Jeffro

  you've hit the nail on the head regarding what I am asking in a strange sort of way

  so really just as would be the case that if we got rid of Mcdonald's we would still have hamburgers so if we got rid of all religion we would still have spirituality remaining. On the other forum I concluded that spirituality has to do with lightness but I am hesitant to say categorically that religion is the opposite. but if our perspective is from that of being xjws then I guess we could say that religion is heavy downheartedness.

  Do you believe in Love?

  by freeflyingfaerie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe you are an atheist.. maybe you are agnostic.. you have left a cult, left behind an entire belief system, complete with detailed instructions on how to live..rules to follow for every aspect of your very life.

  you know it was a big lie.. you are now naked, staring at your soul.

  just you, just your own thoughts, just your own voice, your own feelings.

  yup I most certainly do believe in love - especially when you strip away everything else one can appreciate and welcome love even more.
