Since it is obvious all religion is wrong why do so many believe?
by jwfacts inany religion that claims it is the only correct one is obviously wrong.
by it's arrogance it becomes mutually exclusive of any other religion.
when one steps back they can see that the contradiction of one religion over the others is a proof that they all must be wrong.

Is the bible inspired?
by jwfacts ini am trying to determine if it can be proved that the bible is inspired, and was wondering if most people here believe it is or is not.. i am writing a document on proof of inspiration, but it has ended up more of an article that shows the bible can not be proven to be inspired.
i will be interested in what people think about it when it is finished.
however i am worried that posting such an article may alienate those on jwd that believe the bible to be gods word.

Is being a Witness really so bad? Is religion bad in general?
by jwfacts ini have no intention of ever being a witness again, but when i look at my family i wonder if they are better living in the ignorance they call spiritual paradise.
many people seem to have a need for religion.
is it better if they remain as they are?

Whats happens to all the $$$$ when the WTS closes down
by jwfacts ini used to think that if the end didnt come within the generation that the wts would have to shut down.
as it is a multibillion dollar non profit organisation i imagined that the publishers would then each get an equal distribution of the wealth, a great incentive to stay.
but then the definition of a generation changed and makes the wts viable for a bit longer than i cared to hang around for.. how long do you think the wts can continue before people en masse realise it is a pointless cult and it drifts into oblivion.

What is the bible saying about a soul and a spirit
by jwfacts ini am not sure i believe the bible, but am still trying to come to terms with whether we have a soul or spirit that goes on after death.
i am also interested in seeing how the bible is similar/different than other religions.
i have done research on the web in regards to what the bible says a soul is and get a variety of fairly different and generally not well presented ideas.. as a witness obviously we are taught that we are the only religion teaching truth and our concept differs from virtually all other religions.
