Being an Atheist Is Bad For Your Health
by Space Madness ini stopped believing in god in july 2013. in the first 3 months or so i felt liberated and relieved that i can live my life anyway i wanted without worrying about an invisible being watching my every move.
i also felt slightly superior that i was able to figure out that god isn't real while the majority of mankind continued to be fooled.
atfer the feelings of excitment statrted to wear off, i started to become more depressed and empty.

I guess JWs are supposed to 'act' like friends, but not actually BE friends. How Christian!!!

How will we know WHEN and WHO YHWH speaks before the END?
by bruh2012 ingod (yhwh) has always "come down" and spoke to man before he intervene in humanity.. i know things got changed up with the start of christianity and the congregation ( book of acts), but putting the fds theory aside, wouldnt you think he would speak out to someone to take the lead spreading a message before armaggedon strike?.

If God wasn't an imaginary concept, yes he probably would do that.

If you substitute 'Governing Body' and 'faithful and discreet slave' to
by ThomasCovenant ina single member of the governing body, for example david splane, i find it helps me to understand things a little better.. they have changed the meaning of 'faithful and discreet slave' to basically just 'the governing body'.. but that still allows them to print nice friendly 'we' and 'they' when giving directions (orders).. "we need to obey david splane to have jehovahs approval.
"[a mature christian] does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or harbor private ideas when it comes to bible understanding.
rather, he has complete confidence in the truth as it is revealed by jehovah god through his son, jesus christ, and david splane.

The way to get RID of the fear is to go THROUGH the fear! Just accept that you are feeling uptight and self-conscious and then go ahead and ask a girl to go to a movie, or to have coffee. Chances are, she'll be feeling a similar level of anxiety. Just accept that your fears are a normal part of life and don't allow them to control you. Feel the fear and do it anyway!!! Chances are things will work out just fine. If the first 'date' doesn't go well, don't give up. Just go ahead and try again. My hunch is that the girl will be delighted that you are interested in getting to know her better, and will gladly accept an offer to hang out. Keep us updated!!!

Just say that you are going through a rough period emotionally and can no longer host, or attend, the Watchtower study. Family issues. Nothing that you want to discuss. Refuse to answer any further questions if they are asked. Problem solved!!!

It's hilarious how some heterosexual people feel that a gay person will magically turn straight if only they can find the 'right' opposite-sex partner. Sorry, it just doesn't work that way. It's as silly as trying to make a straight person 'turn' gay.
