  If you substitute "supernatural" for "super human", I think the objection to the logic of the question becomes more obvious.

  Giant thread of convince-me-not-to-be-a-theist

  by DS211 in

  if you could teach me one thing to convince me not to believe what would it be?

  for instance what has the wt taught about evolution/science or mans existence that is wrong and could possibly change skmeones mind?

  and the more important question, why is it a creator couldnt allow for species to evolve?

  People in all religions see God's hand in things

  not a very shocking headline, but it's true.

  the witnesses are always pointing at things and attributing them to jehovah's direction.

  every religion in the world does that.

  Thank him for the good stuff and you have to blame him for the bad.

  i think there are many that still want to believe in a god but just aren't sure.. personally, do you believe in a god?.

  are you a "spiritual" person?.

  The bible is a crock.

  God? Seems unlikely to me.

  happified in fact.. for those of you who escaped the wt because of abuse or malice on the part of people in your congregations: are you glad?

  First Post - Introduction

  by Syme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first post on jwn, and i would like to take a few lines to introduce myself.. i currently am still in the organization, though my conviction in the last 1-2 years is more or less agnostic/atheist (closer to atheist).

  i am an ex-elder and mts graduate, having served in another 3 congregations, apart from my home one.. the reason for the above-mentioned conviction shift has to do with science and rational, logical thinking generally, and with the grand theory of evolution, specifically.

  it took me long, endless sessions of hard reading and study of serious scientific literature (plus cross-matching all the quotes and claims in jw evolution-related literature), to finally make the shift from utterly firm religious belief to doubt, and then to lack of religious faith.

  I know that testing "in your heart" implies the fact that it's not vocal... But the way he emphasised vocally, by pausing before it, made me laugh so hard I did a small wee. (2.40)

  Great video.
