  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?.

  Some classify me as athiest but to remain open minded, I classify myself as agnostic.

  If I were SFPW I might be intimidated by all you apostates waiting to pounce but then I realize so might shadrack, meshack and Obendigo have felt the same way. They did'nt fear. So go get em SFPW. Jehovah will protect you in the verbal fight. What can mortal man do to me?

  2. beliefs

  a manual for creating atheists offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith--but for talking them out of it.

  peter boghossian draws on the tools he has developed and used for more than twenty years as a philosopher and educator to teach how to engage the faithful in conversations that will help them value reason and rationality, cast doubt on their religious beliefs, mistrust their faith, abandon superstition and irrationality, and ultimately embrace reason.

  - amazon.... "boghossian has provided an indispensible chart book for all of us who must navigate the rising sea of magical thinking that is inundating america today.

  I reasoned my way out too at an ealy age and I still have a problem with why others can't? I've been happily out since 1985 and it was only a fluke that that I found this web site. Sometimes this site reves up old childhood memories for me that make me sooooo sad. I am not sure this site is good for me, that's what my wife tells me.

  A manual for creating an athiest! Take one part little boy subject him to unspeakable horrors, lie to him, send him to school and stir in some doubt, brought about by how he's been treated, let him observe the outside world, beat well, when he starts thinking on his own beat several more times (pound it in). Then out of sheer disbelief he turns to science for real questions. Note: I said real questions not answers the answers are for future celebration.

  if you want the short version, scroll down to "short version".. .

  so i am at 1200 posts or so (only about 6 were probably of note), and i still havenlt told my story and probably won't for some time.

  basically, i was a born in who has served in other countries, as an ms, and given talks etc... my wife and i were in foreign language, have co's we have counted as close family friends, and were basically the golden boy and girl of their respective areas.

  I extend a small measure of sympathy.

  allow me to extend a minute amount of symapthy to the forum members who waited with excitement the recent special jw meeting and attended.

  perhaps it met your expectations?.

  and, i almost, repeat, almost, feel sorry for those poor sods who deem it necessary to read the so called 'new' jw bible translation, and searching for all of the 'differences' from past releases.

  " the work of others researching the lies of the wts in no way influenced my decision to leave the jws back in the late 80's (were you even alive then?). I just had enough of pricks wanting to control my life. No more." If I have offended you, well that is fine."

  Holey Cheeses. There is an element of what you say that I think applies in a lot of our cases. I did'nt like the control from this organization I felt growing up in it. I was Dfed in 1985 for Brazenley asking questions. You certainly did not offend me though. I know, reading some of the comments on here can make someone at times feel a sense of exasasperation. I try to be as civil as possible though.

  P.S. If something thats said here offends you let me know what it is. I might want to offend you again some day.
