Thats it. Run away. Because you have NO answer to basic reason. But then I suppose, your god did grant you free will to not use your critical thinking skills.
All the best.
they say ignorance is bliss... well, i wish that god did not give adam free will.
i am ok to not have free will if it means i will live forever in perfect paradisiac conditions.it has been explained that free will is a gift from god.

Fisherman.....
"because of my faith in him based on solid evidence"
You can believe what the bible says all you like, prophets and all. That is not evidence for an existing god. And certainly nowhere near enough to say you have a close personal relationship with him.
Again, where is this 'evidence' that you speak of? I truly want to draw close to this god, only he doesnt answer any prayer that i or others have muttered for me, and he wont or cant help a single starving child.
He cant stop earthquakes or tsunamis, or does he turn away and close his eyes when these things happen?
This 'god' of whom people speak of is your imaginary friend that hands you a blanky every time you get scared of dying.
What is your personal, not scripture quotes, your personal evidence? Help me come back to god......

Fisherman:
"When people tell me that God has not given them any evidence to base their faith upon, I am dumbfounded. God gives solid evidence to people to experience"
WOW! Hey everyone! Fisherman has found the evidence for God. The very thing we`ve all (even us atheists) been looking for most of our lives!
So now Mr Fisherman. You gonna share that tidbit of info with us? Or you gonna be unloving to us, your fellow humans? SERIOUS QUESTION MR FISHERMAN!
i mean this with all due respect, i would like to hear from genuine people who think jw have it wrong and then what is the truth?.
im not talking about silly little quibbles here and there.. is jehovah real?
the the bible is word?
Formerbrother...
Why do you, personally, need to adhere to a certain religion? Have you studied what a secular life might be like? Do you understand what a humanitarian thinks and how they live life?
This is a genuine question. Why does your need for something faith based consume you so much?
alan rickman, best known to my generation as prof. severus snape from the harry potter film franchise, has passed away due to cancer at the age of 69.. growing up with a witness mother, anything related to science fiction and fantasy was looked down upon, so, naturally, i was a rebel rebel (oh david bowie...).. just wanted to let any potterheads know the news and that even if you feel like you'll never be free of the deadly watchtower, you're not alone and there's hope.. always..
My fave from Robin Hood - Prince of thieves.
dear jehovah's witnesses and on-the-fencers.. isn't it even a little bit obvious that the watchtower organisation doesn't have jehovah's blessing?.
if it did, why are your leaders, the governing body, asking you for your money and assets?
surely, jehovah would provide for the organisation without having to use your hard earned money and assets?.
i never really knew any until recently.
as a witness we all thought they were weird.
but the two faiths are a lot alike, except the mormons are really so much nicer than the jws!.
new boy, you've forgotten a small but nevertheless important point....
All religion is man made bull.
so as many know....ive been df'd goin on 19 years already.
i drive pops to meetings, and drop him off on saturdays for fs.. well yesterday, the elders ask to speak to me, and tell me that if i plan on returning to jehovah, i had better shave my beard off..
omg!!!!!!
Whats number 2 Mark? Got everything off your wee chest?
Now, go back to your elderrrrs and confess that you have been talking to the disfellowshipped and apostates.
The reason I left has been graphically presented by you. Sheer lack of love and respect.
