A Little About Me & What Is a Resurrection?

by Sea Breeze in

a little about me first: i was a 4th generation jw who had major reservations about the wt growing up, but finally got on board at age 23 when i got baptized.

spent 8 very active years in, then 8 years out as an agnostic.

got saved in 2004 and been living the born-again christian bible-believing life ever since.

Having lived 60 years now, on both sides of the theological fence

We're about the same age, trust me, you haven't been on both sides of the fence until you've lived with unbelief for a while.

JWs are just another subset of Christianity which in turn is a subset of Abrahamic faith which in it's turn is a subset of all religion.

That ALL exists on one side of the theological fence. Us freethinkers, atheists, apostates, heretics and all the folks who simply never give religious faith a second thought are waving at you from the other side.

It's nice over here. Come visit us.

Better off PIMA than POMA or POMO.

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

the situation is many of us are pima and all putting on a front, sometimes saying something we don’t fully believe.

or at least are actually agnostic about but a hope that it’s true.. but it can be useful if someone is really going through a hard time or has something they are very worried about, to say things like well let’s hope there is not much longer of this old system.. this can be useful in an awkward situation where you just don’t know what to do or say.

it’s a little bit of hope that can help when there is nothing else.. my agnosticism just means i won’t look back over decades thinking i wasted my life.

Password using another language, or mixed languages?

by FatFreek 2005 in

i just tried something in windows 10 and it worked (i think).. i went to the google online free translator, entered a couple english words, then translated them into russian.. the two words i entered are russian english.

the translator returned русский английский.

i then used those words together as a password for a libre office word junk document, saved the document.

I use Bitwarden to manage my passwords. I can generate passwords up to 128 characters.

Imagine trying to crack this:

when someone is going through a real hard time it’s very helpful to say the Bible promises no more pain and suffering

I disagree. If, for example, a mother loses her child is it really "helpful" to tell her she can have her child back again? How does such a lie help her grieving process? How unspeakably cruel is it to offer hope that cannot possibly be fulfilled?

But there is no hope after death if you believe the origin of life was chance

That has always been true, the sad thing is that we all fell for the lie that there IS life after death. It's our mortality that makes life so precious, why we have to make the most of our time and find our own purpose and direction.

Welcome to reality.

If you believe in evolution there is no possible hope at all everything is pointless and without purpose.

Why do you feel this way? I'm a happy atheist (exJW like yourself) who's come to the understanding that evolution is true. It's simply the best explanation of the observable facts around us.

I have plenty of hope and purpose in my life, mostly centred around the people I love. Life is good without god.
