  Message from an elder

  elder: plese watch the november programm on jw broadcasting.. me: what i hope for is the change of the doctrine that states that jesus is not the mediator between jehovah and all jw's but only between jehovah and the 144000. i believe jesus is my mediator even if i am not one of the 144000. .

  elder: may jehovah open your mind and heart.

  me: may he open everyone's mind and heart.

  If I've been testy lately, here's why.

  my parents are visiting for not-thanksgiving.

  dad started bringing up spiritual stuff and i almost screwed up my fade.. it's so hard to have a genuine discussion about the issues in the organization when you have become an atheist.

  it feels icky and disgusting to have to pretend and nod your head at such platitudes as "you just need to have faith"..."trust in jehovah"..."jehovah will correct it"..."remember ray franz?

  You seem like a good guy I wish you would re think about being an atheist

  I appreciate the sentiment. I rethink it everyday. The evidence leads me to the same conclusion every day. Who knows? Maybe someday Vishnu, Jesus or Yahweh will appear and help me change a flat tire and I'll become a believer again.

  How does he think that jehovah took care of Ray and what was corrected?

  I was complaining about Morris and dad said Tony was a loose cannon and that if he doesn't straighten up, Jehovah will deal with him. He brought up Ray Franz as an example of a Governing Body member going bad. It was so hard to nod and go along so the conversation would end sooner.

  VI: it was all I could do not to blow up. I had to end the conversation after that on the pretense of it being late.

Jehovah took care of him and corrected things...just wait on Jehovah."

  It feels impossible to keep pretending that I'm just having some doubts when there's no doubt at all in my mind anymore about the organization.

  So maddening.

  i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

  i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

  i do not condone any crime.

  Dear Jehovah, (in the words of Stephen Fry),

  "Bone cancer in children, what’s that about? How dare you? How dare you create a world where there is such misery that’s not our fault? It’s utterly, utterly evil.
  “Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain?
  “The god who created this universe, if he created this universe, is quite clearly a maniac, an utter maniac, totally selfish. We have to spend our lives on our knees thanking him. What kind of god would do that?
  “Yes the world is very splendid, but it also has in it insects whose whole life cycle is to burrow into the eyes of children and make them blind.”
