Now I'm Convinced There Probably Is No God
by pale.emperor inyesterday i made a visit to the museum in my city.
the top floor is the planetarium, which has a connecting room with a huge dome ceiling where they project lessons and lectures and you have a 360 view of the night sky etc.. this particular lecture explained about our galaxy, and how it's only one of billions in the universe.
and then we learned about each planet, some of their moons and the sun.

This particular lecture explained about our galaxy, and how it's only one of billions in the universe. And then we learned about each planet, some of their moons and the sun. And how the sun will eventually cool and expand and engulf and destroy our planet and others.
Then it was explained about ancient civilizations and how they relied on the stars and because they were so in awe created stories and myths etc about them.
Watching it made me feel rather foolish for ever believing in a God in the first place. Billions of galaxies, billions of stars, one of those stars is our sun, and somewhere a little speck of dust happens to be our earth and somewhere on there is little old me. And, allegedly, Jehovah created it through his son Jesus (Michael) and gets upset if i dont underline my Watchtower? And is really bothered whether i pray to him or not? The idea is absurd to me.
And now, after realizing how fragile our planet is and how fleeting and precious life is I have zero intention of living in guilt for not pleasing him. I mean, he seems to get very upset quite easily. I was looking up at those stars and thinking... "and im supposed to believe that Jesus did this?"

Irregular to meetings, can I partake in memorial?
by Squekylive inhi friends .
i don't believe in jw doctrines anymore but because of family i have to be a jw for now.. i am not regular to meetings, and don't answer in meeting, but i report some hours so i remain as active jw now.. .
congregation knows that i am not spiritual and i don't talk to people and i don't care what they think about me.. now, i believe it's important to observe lord's supper as a christian as per john 6:53, so in the coming memorial if i attend i want to partake in the communion,.. i believe it is a sin to pass the bread and wine inspite of knowing it's flesh and blood of jesus.. it's like rejecting jesus.. so i want to partake.. but i dont consider i am anointed etc.

pale.emperor
No, they'll just think you're crazy. Like i always did when i saw anyone partake.

How about:
You wake up one morning and the UN no longer exists... thereby ending your Jehovah's Witness religion overnight because they're a major prophesy for you guys.

Bro Knorrs Notes RE Disfellowshipping & Two Witness Rule
by pale.emperor inhi guys.
a fellow ex jw shared this with me.
haven't time to read them yet (i'm using my phone to go on internet).

pale.emperor
Hi guys. Only now had the chance to read this properly.
Bro Knorr (or whoever typed this up) has poor grammar for one chosen by Holy Spirit wouldn't you say? JW's always use the example of Korah to justify inflated sense of morality.
Appears legitimate - at least it "feels" that way.
Where on earth, & how, did this guy get this list?
It was sent to me via an exJW on a JW Recovery Facebook Group. It seems very accurate to me.

I am glad to have found the true religion
by A Believer init really is great.
i remember browsing this forum the day after i had joined it, and their was a knock on the door.
i thought it was one of my package from ups but instead it was two sisters.

Yeah. I see now that Jesus isn't our mediator and only the 144000s. Who are actually of all kinds because from the Israel tribes we all came from.
A Believer, you need to ask your study conductor that question again, 7 months ago when i was still in the Kingdom Hall that wasn't the correct answer. "All kinds" meant all nations, races and genders. Nothing to do with literal Israelite tribes. Look at the list of tribes it names in Revelation, it mentions the tribe of Joseph but not the tribe of Dan. In ancient Israel there was no tribe of Joseph or Levi. Ephraim and Manasseh replaced them. The tribe of Levi did not have an inheritance because it was a priestly tribe.
Unless of course the Revelation book has been "revised" again since my leaving?

*sigh* remember guys when we were JWs and we'd get all excited about any disaster we saw on the news? Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Terrorism, the UN doing... anything?
A Believer isn't even baptised, he thinks this all unique.
