fading for 8 years and never missed a memorial due to the family relation reason.
Ouch.
I won't be attending for the 3rd consecutive year.
My absence comes at a price though, my JW family treat me like a corpse.
those of you fading- with the memorial approaching are you going to appease family?
not going and making up an excuse?
acting like your going but not really?.

i was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?
etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.
i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.
this is once in a life time work never to be repeated.
by all those who have died and the 100k if not millions of elderly.
about to sleep for ever..
Was it not Billy Shakespeare who wrote,
"Feel the sky blanket you, in gems and rhinestones. See the path cut by the moon, for you to walk on.....
I had false belief, I thought we came here to stay. We are all just visiting, just breaking like waves"..
I am perhaps paraphrasing a little yes, but I am sure I've made my point.
i buy into the theory of evolution.. where does it's "mission" to do what it does (programming) come from?.

What's the agenda? Does gravity have an agenda? The law of thermodynamics also?
i never thought i would admit it, but i don't.
i might superstitiously have some kind of doubt but digging a bit deeper in my heart i really don't believe in god.
as a human i could never just sit and watch people be tortured, live years of abuse, suffer from illness and disabilities and all the other awful things people have to endure day after day without doing something about it.

So God DOES cares for us!
It's just that, it feels exactly the same as if he didn't really exist at all and doesn't give a shit about anyone or anything. Right. Got it.

I can show you why God does not - and cannot - intervene in badness. Would that make a difference to you? If so, you have my PMs - just contact me.
That would make a huge difference for me! Instead of sending a pm, why not post your evidence here on this thread?
I've currently no faith, so let's start with God. What's his name, where does he live, and how can I contact him?
