i have seen debates and shizzle about god or not god etc etc.. i was even confronted by an aggressive and trheatening muslim in the street, who was angry that i wanted proof that god existed.
he ranted on a load of old b0110cks about 'hell' and stuff.
finally he yelled at me: 'do you want god to write your name in the sky?
punk can i prove you exist? can i prove i exist?
i think belivers instinctivy feel God whilst non belivers rationalize God...but can we prove God doesnt exist?
This thread has " proved God exists" in the minds of belivers and therefore he exists..our minds dont work that way.
i have thought a lot about what to say when i am approached.
it will kill my fade, but oh well.. "after the new light i had to test my faith and i couldn't prove to myself that the slave was limited to the governing body.".
if cornered by an elder...."can you prove to me from the scriptures that matt.
my responce has really worked well...i dont talk religion and live my life. I had a friend run away from me in the supermarket and i am only a fader....but life goes on.

i think many people pay for this site, with the gift of time. Why ? to help people like you and me i think.
Anyway i appreciate that this site has been made with the contribution of some fantastic ex- posters...i read there posts it beats the libary...and who ever pays for it financially thanks.
why was the ministry so much arguing over who our perception of god was?..
when we were witnessing we could thank jehover for the trinity...but now i think the trinity is what jehovers witnesses like to discuss as it avoids stops any talk on real understanding.....because our god is different and right we could always fall back on the trinity.. .
.
thanks for the replys...truth seeker, you got to be in before you can get out. But i dont like to see my time in as a chasm of darkness..i only know one thing for sure i dont belong in...and i love my new life ( thats 2 things my maths was never good)
before the usual suspects start reaching for the pich-forks and forming a mob, i invite you to actually read and consider this, not just leap to conclusions.. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/united-states/130607/7-graphs-america-overrated-nsa-prism-privacy.
why do i care?
it seems the people being screwed the most are also the most visciferous defenders of the status quo which sees them being severely disadvantaged.. maternity leave?
Scandinavian countries...a big middle, few at the top and few at the bottom. Now geography and exsteme climate..id rather be at the bottom in Sweden Stockholm than at the top in the exsteme cold regions of Sweden...

books, films music and thinking are banned everywhere?
in England many great songs were banned " by the jolly B.B.C" ..and it helped them be great songs...frankie goes to hollywood " Relax" banned so straight to number ONe...sex pistols " God save the Queen" banned straight to number one...literature " lady chatterlies lover" banned...i think ban something and the ears and heart listen...
male or female it doesnt matter, being a jehovers witness represented for me a true dehumanization of my male personlaity.
why?because my very masculinitu was defined by my watchtower spirituality and how i advanced in the organization.. now i have left the witnesses i feel more relaxed about my masculinity, that i dont need any longer to prove myself to anybody.
in fact i would say that by leaving that authoritarian regime i have become more sensitive, more caring for both myself and others and an infinity more positive and worthwhile individual.
Yea harry mac..thats my point, why should somebodys sexuality remain repressed? Why cant they be relazed about themselfs and who they are with out having to hide ? the society says a persons srxuality must be such to be spiritual accepted. This is wrong and fails to see the heart love compassion and value of a person...ugggg glad iam not in that thinking anymore. ... Shame on me i once knocked on on door and agreed people who practiced homosexuality were evil...that i said that helped me wake up and leave..
