i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.
you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!
what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.
Welcome to this forum, and what a great way to challenge a thinking Witness.
Indeed, if Jehovah is leading this Organization and even helps a contractor to find a leak so he can go to a meeting, for sure he can answer a prayer of a long faithful couple regarding if this is the truth or not. Well played!
Let's just hope that an invitation to the DC doesn't appear in your mailbox on the next 7 hours ...

it just dawned on me.
the existence of god can't be proved, neither is there evidence of god's inexistence.
so, i'm neither theist neither atheist.
Viviane: Ah, so not present like a student absent from class, existing, possibly with naughty bits implying a gender, then?

Defender of truth, thank you for the reference. You've been very helpful. I believe that the traits of agnostic atheist tick most boxes for me. I still don't think that the etymology of the term "atheist" describes properly the lack of belief in a God, as it suits more the rejection of God. I would much prefer the use of "skeptic", "skepticism", hence agnostic skepticism. But I can concede the current use of the term "atheist" will have to do for now.
Plus, for the sake of closing this thread and ending the bickering, it's a good closing.

Viviane:
assigning spirit power to a real thing no more makes that thing a god than does painting orange and black stripes on a poodle make it a tiger.
I agree with you. I was playing the devil's advocate here. But fact is, millions of people assign spirit power to objects, animals, other people. To them, that deity is real.

Cofty: I attack bad ideas, unlike you I don't attack people. If I am going to criticise somebody's character I do it by PM as you well know.
Is that so? Let's see if it holds truth. The first ad hominem came from you.
You lied about Aten.
Then
You are impervious to reason,logic and sensible use of language.
Your dishonesty is becoming intolerable
All the above came from you before I had my burst of rage against you. This makes you, objectively, the liar here. You attack ideas, but also the people who hold them. You deserve no compassion. And, by the way, you also lied when you PM'd me to inform me that I just had been inducted to your ignore list. Apparently that was another lie ... or did you simply change your mind? What's good for the goose....
