  Has your life gotten better as an athiest/agnostic?

  by StinkyPantz in

  2. beliefs

  this quote got me thinking:if you pray sincerely and admit you are a sinner and accept christ as your savior you can have the holy spirit come into your life.. .

  i used to do this everyday.

  when i was being abused, i used to pray incessantly for god to help me.

  Yes Stinky...

  In fact I just asked the question to the board. I am curious as to how people's feelings on whether there is a higher power or not.

  I refuse to get into a debate over theism or athiesm, but I do wonder if we were to take a poll what the stats would read. I know stats aren't always accurate, but it would give me an idea about what ex-jw's think on this.

  Apologies for any hurt feelings

  by Simon in

  2. announcements

  i know i probably go too far sometimes and can get a little 'determined' on some issues (my wife calls it pig headed & stubborn).

  sometimes i am too blunt.

  sometimes i won't let things go and want to prove my point.

  Simon,

  I am a Moderator at another ex-jw site. I can understand where you are coming from. I try to stay objective as much as I can, but I don't always succeed. I am human after all even if I try to keep all my personal thoughts in check. I know what you mean Simon.

  DA Update

  as some of you know, i sent a letter to the elders of my last congregation disassociating myself from jehovah's witnesses.

  i was originally going to wait, as my mother, who's 81, is very ill with cancer.

  she's not expected to live very long.

  Walter,

  It is always good to have parent's blessing even though it is not always easy to get with that particuliar issue. I am glad you updated us. I was wondering if the elders have called anymore on you are tried to stop by. I hope not.

  PS..Glad to see you on this board. I am Ronnie from the other board in case you didn't know. I saw your welcome post and appreciated that as well.

  Take care.

  This case should be appealed. Maybe a judge that has his right mind will sit for the next case. Judges have too much power I think in general.

  Minimus,
  You were the PO? I am sure you have told others many times, but what made you decide to leave the jw's? You must have spent years and years in the organization.

  Thanks Estee and everyone!

  I have jumped in and the water is fine!! I know a few here from other sites and I love the fast pace of the site too. Best thing was that I didn't need to provide the next song that is in the Kingdom Ministry in order to join here!! I hear stories about regular jw sites and they won't let us apostates in!!

  This really is a great forum you all have here.
