for me it's more to do with being asked to join with them in the preaching and not being able to do so anymore as I cannot justify the message.
In other words, you left because you believed they were wrong basically.

If you believe in nothing, then how do you know JW's are wrong?
by slimboyfat inmany who leave the witnesses go on to affirm other recognisable sets of beliefs.
some become christians of various sorts, others tend toward patriotism as a kind of rejection of the anti-patriotic stance of the watchtower, while yet more simply affirm in general the secular values of mainstream society.
do you believe jehovah's witnesses are wrong?

I'm not incorrect in this because it is what I believe and to me you all are wrong for not believing. You see, all people who disbelief God always say there is no evidence. Now it's understood you guys may not be persuaded by the available evidence but you always say that there is no evidence which is untrue. The many accounts of evidence for God is simply to much to list on here. But whatever its form, the bottom line is the same, which is proof that is meant to convince someone of the truth of the matter strongly expressed.
Never claimed all atheists were emotionally scarred. It was only directed to those who are and you all know who you are. That's what I think the video is trying to convey. Now personally, I think that the entire concept of atheism is a bit of a joke. Even if a god does not exist it exists as a god. But I'm not going to disrespect other peoples beliefs as you all have done to me. Whether he exists or not was not intended to be the topic of this thread but rather peoples thoughts on the video. So don't think this thread is to prove he exists because it's not.

Well, the arguments for theism are as put, reasonable. Everyone kind of thinks differently when matters conflict with their pure personal feelings on the matter at hand. I'd like to say that there are lots of sound debates for God but some just reject without even giving it a chance. Reasons such as there'd be a lot more skeletons around if there indeed was no God, as a lot more sodium chloride in the sea, and even how God possibly could have used evolution to create the earth since it was a long process of a few years. Also there is no evidence that God doesn't exist.
Not sure if you guys watched the video or not, but people were dumbfounded and you might even say blindsided when the people told them proof for a God. It's just an example of how no matter how much you think he doesn't exist, you could be very wrong.

Just want to know what the Ex jw community thinks about this video and also offer my pov. The video was actually an advertisement on here. I like that this video goes to show that the toughest to bring to faith are those with volitional objections. Sometimes individuals will hold on to them so long that it hurts them. They don’t want God to be true because they don’t want to submit themselves to any authority that would restrict their most cherished freedoms. Those who hold emotional objections to belief have usually been burned by believers and even Christians. I do think that logical believers have provided reasonable responses to every intellectual objection to the faith. All Christians have to do is read some and they will be ready to tackle these barriers with ease and, hopefully, with grace. But, this only goes for those who indeed have this situation not for those who reject God because they came to a their own conclusion. You know who you are.

now the reason for this is important and goes beyond mere words.

I'm using internet 6 cofty. Please don't tell me to upgrade to Internet 11 because it's not capable. There's just nothing to be done about it. It shouldn't be that hard.

OrphanCrow, people will believe what they want to believe at the end of the day. That's disrespectful calling me elderly and you should be ashamed. Even if I was an older man that doesn't give you the right to discriminate me like that.

Yes, OUTLAW, and it has been done to death. But that button doesn't on my computer. I've installed reader to actually see the button and know it's completely non functional. Guess will have to continue to use the same way while replying. There's just nothing else left to say.

"they can't explain them any better than you, meaning they can't, just as you are unable to articulate anything." Just because I cannot possibly get you to understand doesn't mean I'm not able to articulate anything. How am I really going to explain my ideas to most on here when they will just reject anything coming from my mouth because of me having the backbone to voice my thoughts accurately, Viviane? The benefit of the doubt caught my tongue and now it seems wasteful but I'm glad it was able to connect with some at least, the non negative people.
"Not one of many very intelligent people on this thread has any clue what you are saying. The only people that think they have are people that have a history also being unable to say what they mean in a way that makes objective sense." So you're saying only the unintelligent understand me? That's so low for you to go. All because you see me as brainless. I'll have you know those so called "intelligent people" sometimes don't have to power to grasp everything as no one does. And that is the issue from my viewpoint. They cannot fathom my viewpoint which is okay.
