    I have been noticing people posting on this site have a "DEEP" Spiritual desire, but don't quite know how to find it, or WHERE it is at.

    This beg the question...DO WE NEED TO BE INVOLVED WITH A "RELIGION" TO FIND "SPIRITUALITY"...ESPECIALLY AN "ORGANIZED RELIGION"???

    anyone that has there eyes open can see that ALL religion is loosing their influence over people around the world...I spent 47 years thinking I was in the "Truth" being one of JW's! And now that I am out...and looking back from the "Outside"...All I see is that its JUST ANOTHER Religion...filled with ALL the "Control-Grid" stuff found in any other group.

    Worse yet...THEY are WORSE than other religions...so it begs an answer..IS THERE SUCH THING AS A "TRUE RELIGION"???

    That seems to be a question that BEGS for an answer...What are your thoughts here?

    No. We just need to be ready to get on the UFO to be a spiritual person. Sorry...couldn't help myself. Just read your other thread.

    The question is VERY Valid when you THINK about it...DO YOU NEED TO BE IN A "RELIGION" TO BE A "SPIRITUAL PERSON"?Nothing about UFO's

    Where are all the ideas about this...because there Millions of "Spiritual People" all over the world and yet they don't belong to a "Religion"...I'm involved with 12 groups online that are VERY Spiritual people...and I will tell you...I feel more "Peace" being with them than ANY religion...AND THEY NEVER ASK FOR "CONTRIBUTIONS".

    You need to belong to a religion to be spiritual in the same way you need to be married to be in love. One is physical, one is mystic.

    NO I don't think you do. I have come to think that spirituality is in you. How do you treat your fellow man? Do you prejudge others? Or do you accept them as they are. When I came to the conclusion that "the truth" was not the truth at all I began to pray to God show me the way, show me that the org is right or show me that there is something else. I may as well have been talking to my bedpost for all of the answers I received from God. I am not a bad person I have never in my life intentionally hurt anyone except to follow the Watchtowers hurtful positions as an elder. So I plan to continue for the rest of my life to be a good person towards my fellow man. I do not hate JWs I love them there are so many fine people in, just misguided " Captives of A Concept" to quote Don Cameron, but I do hate the religion of hate The Watchtower. Just my two cent's By the way Foodhalls I enjoyed the videos that you turned us on to.
