  I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion....

  by BeaverEater in

  im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.

  while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.

  lol.

  Beaver you say that you are not an atheist because it makes no mathematical sense . So I'm curious do you believe in something?

  dear leamington spa and warwick elders.

  i wanted to thank you for your letter that has set me free.

  Yep Punky , how true .

  I did read somewhere, possibly on here , that this is a deliberate aim of the Org. To make sure that if someone leaves they find it impossible to go elsewhere to have Christian fellowship.

  Please don't rule out the possibility, in the future, of finding a group of believers who you can feel comfortable with .

  Hi Gavin , you really have been , proverbially , to hell and back . Well done for coming through it all .

  Are you British or South African?

  You seem to have retained your faith , which is pretty miraculous. Do you belong to any Christian group now ?

  Why did I never see THESE scriptures before?

  by BoogerMan in

  2. beliefs

  july 15 simplified study watchtower par 8, p. 24 - “we need to obey the faithful and discreet slave to have jehovah’s approval.”.

  (john 14:6) jesus said to him: “i am the way and the truth and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me, or the wtbts inc.".

  To All Those Keen To Tell Us About Their Beliefs

  by Simon in

  we seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.

  they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?

  ) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.

  Thanks Syd , that is pretty much the image l get when mention is made of Evangelical Christians.

  I saddens me that clever, unscrupulous people get money or power by running Evangelical mega churches.

  Of course people often view all Christians through the lens of Evangelical Christianity.

  Riley , l felt quite depressed by your comments about Evangelical Christians.

  Are you American? , the use of the word Evangelical makes me think so . In the UK that word isn't used much .

  As a member of the Anglican church I've not found that people think that they are experts on vaccines or the Ukraine . I and my Anglican friends all chose to be vaccinated but that was purely our choice.

  We regularly pray for peace in the Ukraine, which is not a bad thing surely. In fact on our news sheet the wording is

  " please pray for

  All those, on both sides, involved in the war in Ukraine, that sense will prevail "

  Better stop now , for fear of sending anyone to Zzzzzzzz .

  “a spokesperson from dorset coroner's office told the bbc that due to the nature of his death there would be no inquest.

  no further details were given on cause of death by the coroner.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65633872.

  no "further" details were given?

  LUHE when my late husband was at school one of his PE teachers , a fit man in his 20s , just dropped down dead . It was later realised that he had been born with a heart defect which had not been previously detected.

  A 46 yr old can die from cancer or a stroke or a myriad of natural causes.
