This thread has struck a chord in me.
I was raised a JW and believed it all.
What do I believe now?
I believe in a higher power. I see it in my grand daughters eyes and hear it in her laugh as she pulls my hair.
I believe in Love. It welcomes me in my Sheila's eyes at the end of the day and at the new day's dawn.
I believe in what I can see, hear, touch, taste and smell. Real is real.
I believe in "The Golden Rule". Right is right.
I believe people must define themselves and not let relegion force their attitudes. Right is right.
I believe that even a relatively small amount of lie, invalidates doctrine. Wrong is wrong..
I believe that an organization that would harbor perveted child molesters is Evil and must be exposed. Wrong is wrong.
I believe that one should not embrace debauchery to protest hypocrisy. Wrong is wrong..
I believe the "Creator" has lost intrest in a race that preys on its own kind. I understand.
I believe I have found friends of like mind on this board. I am glad.
I believe I may have offended some of them. I am sorry.
I believe this is my longest post!
