  2. child-abuse

  whilst ive lost my faith in god, what cant be taken away from me is the music, eg vince gill " go rest high on that mountain" .

  u2 " still havnt found what i am looking for".

  so how about a thread about our favourite spiritual songs that move us, if we are atheists....

  How many here (believers) believe in the Hell fire doctrine and why??

  by jam in

  it's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.

  "cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.

  "lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".

  Never heard of it John, so thanks for the reccommendation.

  " I shall be released" the Band. ( ok a Niel Young song i think? But even Niel would agree nobody could sing that song like Richard Manuel)

  Yes, I see you shunning me!

  by Blackbird Fly in

  2. experiences

  even tho i grew up in the org, so much that once seemed normal behavior now seems so bizarre and even cruel.

  i have run into at least 3 people from our old cong since the memorial (i didnt attend) anyhow i have noticed how each time they go out of their way to say hello and flash me a big bright smile, only to immediately avert their eyes and end any possible commitment to a conversation.

  i dont really care as i dont have anything to say to them anyhow.

  Blackbird, in my exsperience it says more about the shunner than the organisational policy. Also in my exsperience ( not disfellowshipped) but wear a cross around my neck, designer stubble and still on good terms with most i meet from the congregation. Long may that continue. ive had letters in the post asking me to meet elders at the K.H and recorded telephone calls to entrup me, but thanks to this site i have played the game well. ( Not that i give a f...k if i get disfellowshipped, and i think thats a good card to hold)

  if after you die you find yourself in front a god ready to judge you.

  what will you say in your defense for not believing?

  i think most of us here at one stage were on pretty good terms with Perrys God.

  And i dont mean any disrespect Perry. but reading this thread on your God, well he seems to have a lower moral standard than me. And i am certainly just ordinary in compassion and love and wisdom.

  Is my clinging on to a belief in a Creator doing me any harm?

  by KateWild in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i use the word clinging, as i feel that is what i am doing.

  as far as my knowledge of science, namely chemistry is concerned, i am satisfied there is evidence of a creator.

  i am happy to believe this.

  How does the indoctrination process work? We chip away at a persons belief system and gradually bring them around to our thinking. The only thing is to make sure our new belief system is ours not not somebody elses.

  You see maybe its important how you keep or loose your belief in a creator. No disrespect intended to the sincere posters on this board.
