Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?

by Perry in

an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

OTWO, thanks for posting the Carlin video. What an intelligent man, wish he was still around to rattle more cages.

I am still amazed that my entire spiritual journey has led me to embrace the Universe and nature and people...but no god. This wonderful and sometimes painful experience of Life has been sooooooooo much more exciting, loving, peaceful, and just plain enjoyable since I left that godawful thing called jehovah's witnesses. The only good think I can say about it?

It was my revulsion and self-removal from that horrible cult that led me to this place of Joy.

But I spend no time ever "struggling against god" (whoever he is supposed to be) because there is no negativity where I live now. Oh, okay, there is some when I have to drive in rush hour traffic with snowbirds but other than that..........I am all smiles.

So Perry....perish the thought. You are fighting way too hard to believe in something that doesn't even exist. Chill out. Find yourself. Find some peace.

Governing Body new Branch letter begging for donations !

by ToesUp in

jw

i just want the governing body to know how "happified" i am today.

keep sending those branch letters to the congregation(s) about sending your donations in.

not only did you humiliate the rank and file with your tony morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money.

“What's the point? Brothers, we should expect them to despoil us of our human rights. We should expect them to confiscate all of Jehovah's belongings and close down and take possession of all our branches, factories, depots, kingdom halls, assembly halls, everything. Don't make any mistake about it. We are all in this together. We have a common enemy.”

So if "THEY" are goingto take possession of all the jdub buildings.......then WHY would the dubs be telling everyone they need to build more?

Hello? Surely SOMEONE can think through this and say "Hey, WAIT, THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!"

Did you piss on their parade? Christmas?

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

when you were a jw and someone mentioned 'have a nice christmas' or 'have a nice holiday' did you just say 'thanks, enjoy it yourself' or did you piss all over their good mood and bore them to death about why you don't celebrate it?.

cultBgone

I always smiled and said Thank You! in a cheerful way. I would have been too embarrassed to tell them all the crap about why we don't celebrate it....but I was fading before I realized I was fading.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses A Cult?

by What Now? in

i came across a great quote.... the distinction between cult and religion lies squarely in how those leaving or those wanting to leave are treated.. hits the nail on the head for me!.

I don't know what's happened to the posting, but I clicked on your link and was able to view it on my iPad but when I attempt to see it on my laptop it appears to have vanished. Even going directly to HuffPost and searching on 'cult' brings up the link, but again it goes blank when attempting to access it. Thought it would be a good one to post on FB with some (non-jw) comments about the Moonies and Jim Jones, but I can't even get to it! Arghhh.

Elder Tells Study to stop using google for research ???

by raymond frantz in

elder tells study internet is bad for research.

(watch the video here...).

it might be that the watchtower has embraced the internet in recent years as never before but in private things are the same .watch this video as an elder strongly discourages a study from using the internet to get answers.shameless mind control from the same people who promote in any kind shape and form their version of online truth ,jw.org.. not many years ago they used to demonise the internet as the following quote from july 2007 kingdom ministry shows:.

i've been out nearly two years but it's not out of me.

i am on school holidays now til february so i thought without work to worry about i can come off my medication.

i phased it slowly, starting in early november to avoid the physical side effects of coming down.

Dear Julia --

It's hard to add anything as Ajax said it so well, but please be assured that you are not alone in your feelings!

Anyone, including most on this board, have gone through the feelings you described: unworthiness, trust issues, that guilt bell ringing about nearly everything, the immense shame we feel once we realized we were bamboozled by a cult, all of it. We were taught NOT to trust ourselves, that we didn't understand ANYTHING, that we were dumb sheep blindly following "the shepherd", that women are "less", that the world is crazy but we were righteous and special, and so many other stupid things.

Dear girl, don't blame yourself. Don't beat yourself up. You are in some very good and intelligent company!

And unlike on facebook and in the jdubs, normal people don't have a gazillion friends. It is a huge shift to come out of a group numbering 8 million to being just you, your family and two friends...and I say CONGRATULATIONS! That is REAL LIFE and those are REAL friendships and relationships. The relationships in the bOrg are phony ones, as evidenced by how quickly we are dropped like hot potatoes once we walk away. But YOUR life is REAL and you should be so proud of yourself for waking up.

I am proud of you.
