For me it was when I was trying to show my baptist friend that the bible says we will live forever on a paradise earth. There was no scripture stating that. And trying to prove the star of Bethlehem was from Satan. No scripture saying that either. I then wondered what else had I been taught wrong!

What was the "logical straw" that broke your camel's back?
by Pacopoolio ini had a bunch of tiny little nags that always bothered me about the bible/god/etc.
that eventually led to me drifting away, but this was my personal, singular issue that no one could address.
i think i mentioned it before here, but, for summation again:.

When God made you, He was showing off.
if it weren't for the sun, you'd be the hottest thing ever created.
everytime I see you, the light just gets brighter and brighter.
I may not be the best looking man here, but who are you to be picky?
Is that a bible in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Very Big (and Shocking) Contradiction in the Gospels
by DeWandelaar ini was visiting a website in order to prove to people that the bible can be seen as a very extremist book.. however... the site also showed some contradictions and although i am aware of most of them i came to one contradiction that was actually very shocking: the part that satan tries to temp jesus christ.
most of the gospels mention this and the timeframe shows that it happened directly after the baptism of jesus.
however... look at what happens in john!.

Which part do you mean? All the gospels I checked says Jesus went into the wilderness and fasted for 40days After he was baptised?

after sending him a Fb message to be a *true*brother to his brother, my BIL BLOCKED ME!
by losingit ini'm absolutely furious about it!
no message, just deletes me from his friends list-- which is fine.... but i can't even *message* him.
funny, the bum of a bil just had his district convention in his home country, which he attended with his mother and father.

This happened to me just last week!! A super JW, pioneer and elders wife, who used to be my bestest friend blocked me for no god-given reason or explanation. All I did was send her a FB message asking her a simple question. It always surprises me how unchristian like these so called true christians behave like.

I remember doing a presentation at the door when I was naive, gullible and clueless square 19yo JW. The magazine I was offering was about Sects. I had a male HH and he said he didn't know what it was. I remember having to repeat the word several times. I was so embarrassed because sounded like I was saying "sex" all the time!!!!!
