24Humans are not wired to want the truth
by rebel8 inthat's what i suspect.. perhaps some of us retrained our brains to not surrender to a natural urge to believe the simplest, most drama-laden spins on facts.. examples (at least i think this is the truth!):.
the clock.
the son of muslim activists makes a device that, on purpose, looks like a bomb.

Seems odd that the Bible never mentions Pryamids?
by dropoffyourkeylee indoesn't it seem strange that the bible never mentions the pyramids?
how could someone go to egypt at that time and not even so much as mention the huge monuments?

Get a lawyer, one that specializes in divorce. Make preparations and protect your interests. Separate your financial accounts and interests. Now. Begin eating healthy - lean proteins, fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, etc., and join a gym - work out 3 or 4 times per week. You need heavy resistance exercises. PM me if you want a very good plan.
Get a great haircut; buy some very nice clothes. Move your 'bedroom' off the damn couch and either back into your bedroom or make another bedroom in your house that is your place.
Other axioms: What's love got to do with it - the only thing you two seem to have in common is that you are both in love with her.
People will only treat you in the manner in which you allow, and you are allowing her all of the control and to treat you with a complete lack of respect and honor. If you continue to allow that type of treatment then you are getting exactly what you deserve. People will let you own as much of their dysfunction as you are willing to own. The DubWorld is 100% dysfunction and your wife is 100% Dub. Stop whining about how bad it is and how the Dark Lords have taken everything from you and do something about it.
Hop on the bus, Gus. Grow a pair. Be a man. Be the man.

Critical Thinking and undeniable facts of true truiness
by losthobbit ini was recently writing to someone on the fractal future forum.
he came across as a very intelligent person, but i noticed that a post of his about medicine showed that he seemed to lack a lot of knowledge about medical testing and the scientific method.
so, i asked him some questions, and his reply seemed to contain a logical fallacy in every sentence, concluding with a quote from mercola.com, one of those really dodgy conspiracy theory / anti-science type of sites.

LostHobbit,
First of all I have to say that I'm a Tolkien fan, big time. Second, I have to say that I have an intense dislike of conspiracy theorists. Having said that, you have entered a site where conspiracy theorists are every-effing-where. Good luck. There are so many of them that at times I feel like a lone zombie slayer in a "B" movie, having just exhausted my ammo and broken my Louisville slugger. Surrounded, at least for a while!!
Seriously, when the theorists aren't conspiratorial they are good folk. Welcome back, from There and Back Again.

What is your purpose or what do you wish to accomplish while a member of this board?
by Tenacious inwhen i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.
today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.
support?

Tenacious,
I try not to have any beliefs. Beliefs are for Feelers, Perceivers and the Confirmationally Biased, which is the primary reason I don't belong.
But thank you. Again, great OP.

Tenacious,
Great OP. Thanks. I wish everyone would understand why they are here. Stuff I've said before: I was out 20 years before joining this site or any like it (other than about 3 months around the turn of the century). I hit the ground running after exiting the Dark Tower and haven't looked back. I didn't come onto this site seeking support or to keep up with the Kardashians, I mean Dark Lords.
The only reason I'm here is because I'm egocentric and narcissistic enough to think that I have something to offer my former ex-brothers and sisters. But I rarely start OPs; I'm not here to show off, even though some of you think otherwise. And I don't enter OPs where I'm not a SME or where I can't contribute.
I've accomplished a lot in the past two decades plus, so much that it's all kinda sorta surrealistic when I look in my rear view mirror. Some of it was planned; some of it was Forrest Gumping my way to excellent adventure; and some of it was turning the raw hatred and anger I felt towards the Dark Lords into rocket fuel. And I really have only just begun. I wish I could transfer/translate some of what I've learned to this site, but people don't really change and the same closed mindset is apparent too often, sadly. Although my objectives are noble, I don't really belong here.
But that is why I'm here.

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?
by LaurenM indo any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

jws,
"Being an atheist means you positively mean God doesn't exist."
As Viviane pointed out (me and her are sidekicks acc. to The Rebel, or is it Fisherman, I can't tell the difference), being an atheist simply means that one doesn't find there is evidence to support a god. If that changes, I will believe. Being an atheist should mean being an empiricist.
