j-nat, thank you for your comment. I really like all of your coments, but never seen ones similar to these posts before from you.
You can't then switch to "prove it" when someone states that science makes the need for a creator obsolete.
Okay so I have read this statement a few times. In my view yes we should all do what we feel is right based on the fact that we have examined it and we are not hurting or upsetting people on purpose. I don't fully understand why I can't ask for proof?
If you think I was being rude to cofty I apologise, I am just having a bit of fun and I didn't think he would mind me asking him for more substance. If you are talking about the word need as it is in itallics, I don't mean at all to be facetious, I have respect for your experience and advice, but I don't understand this statement.

cofty,
Thanks for your comments, welcome to this thread. I am having a good day today, so bring it on, you don't need to be kind today. I can handle it. j-nat thinks I have it going on. Let's have some fun!
Science makes the need for a creator obsolete.
Oh really!!! Is that a fact or just your opinion? Your comment is unsubstantiated can I have something a bit more specific to back this up please

OTWO,
Ok you do make a good point, we should do what we feel is right for us, after we have examined it, and we do not hurt others in doing what is right for us as that is not showing kindness or being just.

cantleave-you said in post number 7 in 2009.
I do have a good grounding in science, but my scientific curiosity has strengthened my belief in a creator and that is why I stayed a Witness for so many years.
That has really answered my question, sorry for getting you to repeat yourself but going through more than 11500 posts can be laborious, happily post number 7 answered my question.
So I can say that I my view today, is the same as your statement 4 yrs ago.
If you hav already taken the time to answer while I have been writng this response, my apologies.

bigmac,
Thank you so much for your reply. That is really interesting that one can be born to believers but never believe themselves. Its nice to get to know a little more about you

OTWO,
I like your view that we should focus more on how people treat each other, rather what they believe. So maybe after 9yrs and 17000 posts I may take your advice. It's very good and sensible advice.
I suppose I am deprogramming and wanting to get to know new people and know why they believe what they believe fill my need for human contact at the moment.
Thank you for posting on this site so frequently and helping us to deprogram from our indoctrination.
Please keep posting

cantleave,
Another question. Were you ever an atheist while you were a JW?
I mean before 2009, before you started having doubts about the org.
