Glad you're back SBF! Great to see you too SBF. Geesh. You're growing on me. Sorta like a fungus. Or mold.
Anyway, Glad you're here.
one of my jw spies told me that a us jw speaker was visiting the uk.
some bigwig, on a tv screen, i believe.
sorry, that's all i have.. anecdotal i admit, but i was told he said, "you british think you are superior.".

after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
Thinking for himself, huh? The same SBF who apparently returned to the dubs a while back and recently became a Mormon? THAT SBF?
hey all, .
so i recently posted for the first time and introduced myself.. i have been spending time reading various posts.
some informative, some not so much.. since i've been reading on here, i've read a lot from atheists.
Thanks Cofty. The post was a continuation of the one before it. I left off the question asking if this was her current belief about LGBT, which I asked about the billions about to be slaughtered in Rev. Mea culpa.
Sevan states she is evaluating her beliefs. If she's a bible believing xtian those are her beliefs, unless she's resorting to cherry picking.
I'm just trying to clarify the full extent of the groups she believes should be destroyed. There is nothing sweet or benign about those beliefs, regardless of how it is spun or sugar coated.

Sevan,
If, as you say, you've lurked and read a lot of posts on this site, you know that there are a lot of ex dubs here who are LGBT. They have suffered tremendously at the hands of the Dark Lords and society because of the teachings in your holly book and from xtians like you.
Seeing people like you arrive and re awaken their pain is disgusting. That a few others agree with you or even think it ok you have them is disgusting.
Did reading any of their accounts mean anything to you? Or do you simply hide behind Jesus" skirt and agree that all members of this community deserve death? Cause that's what the Bible says.
My old beliefs disgust me. I did not bring them into my post dub life. Thought about that any? At all?
this morning, my wife showed me this online article (written yesterday evening july 11, 2016) from dutch newspaper "trouw":.

to me, this seems to be one serious step further, and together with the convention bunker video's it will surely fuel the persecution-syndrome and expectations of the great tribulation even more than it already did!
JWR,
Religious freedom of speech and activities have been systematically curtailed by governments for centuries. So let's move away from specious nonsense shall we.
Or are you ok with child porn,, Warren Jeffs, honor killings and the speech and teachings that support these and other damaging religious teachings?
Second, do you know anything about Russian anti extremist laws? When and why they were created? The patience Russian courts have exercised in applying those laws?
Anything? At all?

Sevan,
When I left the cult over 2 decades ago, I realized that my belief system, which was essentially what I inherited from my family and culture, were in need of serious re-consideration. Trying to establish my footing in a place such as this for my theism or x-tiantiy is something that never entered my mind and I would have never done. I avoided all religious and JW discussions for 2 decades, until I joined this site a couple of years ago.
I understand we are different, but we are not so different that you shouldn't understand showing up to demand respect for a failed belief system and criticize those who rationally have deconstructed that belief system is going to cause some problems.
Your testimonials are preaching; they are intended to influence others, so let's stop playing coy (I'm also talking to you Kate and Sanch). Calling atheists hostile is preaching. Hostile? Really? Do you still believe that your lovely Jesus and his murderous dad are going to slaughter billions of innocent people soon? Including me, all the other atheists, my GF, her family and the other 1.3 billion Indians who do not believe in Jesus, as well as the billion and a half Chinese and a few billion others who don't give a rat's ass about your beloved???
You say you are questioning your belief system. Excellent. Until you complete that journey I suggest you listen a while, humbly, and avoid making judgmental statements about us.
Or do you pine for the day, as the bible puts it:
Rev. 14: (At Armageddon)
"And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. Then another angel, the one who has power over fire, came out from the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses’ bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles.
Rev 21: (after the 1000 year reign)
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Do you believe this?

Where is Vlad when we need him?

Sanchy,
Haven't you had enough of me? Please find any flaw in what I wrote.
Any. Please.
Everything I wrote is 100% accurate; that you don't like it or don't agree with it doesn't make it vitriolic. Sevan chose to go on and on and effing on about how mean we atheists are and how she is in a gathered state of mind. Fine, call a therapist. Join another cult. Remain quiet about Jesus and his ever loving monster of a pop.
Or lose the judgment against anyone not believing in Jesus, his monstrous dad that we are all deserving of death and destruction and fukking expecting the rest of us to care. I don't. At all. Not even a little. And your little dog too.
Pretty simple, really. Now, Sanch and the rest of you cerebrally challenged, the Dislike button is . . . . . . .

Sevan,
Every believer who has come onto this site and made an immediate splash about their belief has tried to preach to the rest of us. Every one of them. I have a question for you. Why do you find it necessary to talk about Jah and Jesus? Wouldn't you think all of us have had our fill of them? Why would you think it acceptable?
Just a few weeks ago Believer came on the site and immediately chastised us atheists with put downs and judgements, all the while telling us he wasn't here to preach. BS. And BS to you too. And your little dog as well.
I date a gorgeous, wicked smart woman from India. She was raised as a secular Hindu but is now kinda sorta like me in her beliefs or lack thereof. I've met a few hundred of her Hindu associated friends and families. They are the kindest most decent people I've ever met. Most of them are secular; some of them are very religious.
But none of them ever talk about religion. Ever. They are accepting of what anyone wants to believe (Hindus are known for their accepting nature and don't believe in a mono-theistic god like the war mongering Jah and Allah).
I suggest a new strategy, R2. Keep your x-tian beliefs to yourself. That should solve the problem. Or gather a bunch of emails of like minded x-tians and knock yourselves out.
At least you have qualified your belief system, unlike Believer, and we all clearly know that you are a lover of Jah, has baby boy and you share the same End of Time nonsense we all left behind.
So it isn't necessary to lock horns with the likes of Cofty and others. I try to avoid y'all since it causes me to projectile vomit, but y'all can't seem to believe in Jah and Jesus without condemning atheists (me), Hindus (my GF's family), and anyone else who doesn't share EXACTLY the same belief system as YOU to eternal destruction or damnation. So please, if those are your beliefs, spare me your incessant whining about which of the two groups, atheists or x-tians, are the most judgmental and vile.
Now unless you are willing to tell me that the Atheists, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Zeusians, Thorians and other deists and theists on this site and on this planet are just as approved as thou, you are setting yourself up for a whole lot of misery while you visit for a while.
I for one am sick and tired of your all's whining about mean old atheists. Keep it to yourselves and you won't have to worry about us. Or be open minded and accepting and tolerant of all faiths and beliefs. If you were in Mother Russia, we would rat you out to Vlad and his Impalers. Or at least I would. That would quiet you.

Russian anti- extremist laws are the future and the best hope for our specie's survival.
Prohibitions against proselytizing one's religion are a natural extension of the 2002 anti extremist laws, which made it illegal to teach ones group as being superior to others.
No need for religions to be worried. Just keep your infection to yourselves and you will be left alone.
It's kinda like this site. Let it come.
