I could probably list 50 kids that left the twoof in my lifetime - and I'm not even up there in age yet. I gotta say though, the greatest satisfaction was pulling my kid(s) out of the cult. Only the old biddies, and Elmer Fudds are keeping that religion afloat.

Kids continue to leave in droves - so what is the organization's grand plan? This
by sir82 injws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.
i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?
where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?

I love sports but I just don't understand why soccer is so popular. There is very little physicality, the ball bounces back and forth rarely ever going into either goal during the frustrating 90 minutes of futility. Offences constantly retreat and regroup back to their own net area. The ball goes out of bounds constantly. At the end of the game it turns out it isn't the end because the officials tack on an unknowable amount of bonus time to extend the game just because they feel like it. And you can't use your hands or arms? **** that.
More goals, more red cards, less defenders and wider nets, please. Oh, and hot cheerleaders would be nice, too.

If God is the Creator, who created God or how did he evolve?

Why does the creator, if it exists, have to be god? Maybe it doesn't want to be a god? Maybe it doesn't even know you exist or that it inadvertently created you. Maybe it doesn't even know that it exists, or maybe it doesn't even exist in any form at all?

I have never seen even a sliver of proof presented by theists on this forum. Never. Just wishful thinking and special pleadings mixed with a persecution complex and oh, a whole lot of whining.

I know longer want to cherry pick holes in the organisation.
by The Rebel ininstead i would rather spend my days picking fresh cherries from a tree, in fact i am having so much fun i have got the whole family involved, and the freezer is full of red berries, black currents, and today is more strawberry picking.
i have also gone to a farm and made my own yummy honey.. anyway have you been berry picking?
do you have any ideas how i can really enjoy my fresh goodies?

Picking holes is no fun. Blowing holes in the organization is fun and fulfilling! It's one of my many hobbies. The great thing about hobbies are you can drop them at any time and also pick up where you left off at any time.

However, I do not feel that I have the right to judge God. He is our Creator and as such has the right to define the rules. He knows many things that we do not and must therefore have reasons for everything that we may not be privy to.
What riles me is that people like you write this conjecture as if it is established fact just as the sun is hot and the ice caps are cold. That arrogance is such a turn off for me to endeavor to be nice to believers. If God has his reasons for not only allowing, but designing events that have led to the death of millions of innocent children, why is it that he cannot clearly state what is reasons are for doing so are? Creationists always fall back to their last defense: God has his unknowable, logical reasons for why all these natural, horrific disasters occur. Think about that for a moment. If god is god, wouldn't he be able to clearly explain why he allows for and EVEN CAUSES these things to happen?

I always get to these threads as they are winding down, but I'll throw my threepence into the discussion.
Your beliefs are your beliefs and we can respect that. I don't think anyone demands anyone to change their beliefs on here. We just simply demand each other to look at the evidence as objectively as possible and make educated decisions based on that evidence.
I come here mostly to vent about the harmful things that JWs and religion in general are doing to mankind. I come here to provide encouragement and share my personal experiences on how I'm overcoming the Watchtower cult. I don't come here to support beliefs based on faith as I see no inherent or intrinsic value in faith.
It amazes me how anyone can look at the natural world around us, observe how every species is dependent on killing another species to survive (survival of the fittest), the earthquakes, tornadoes, typhoons, tsunamis, disease carrying bugs, viruses and killer bacterias and amoebas, the mass extinctions of the ancient past AND STILL SEE A LOVING CREATOR despite all of that. That is delusion at its very essence.
