Did You Ever Wonder Why One Should Pray To God When God's Record Is Pretty Dismal?
by minimus ini never understood why jws were told to pray to jehovah in order to have someone change their course, open their heart, make the way---when in reality it is like asking for a miracle to happen.
witnesses say miracles have been done away with and god doesn't work this way any longer.. if you're going through a bad time, pray to god and he will help you if you have faith.
he'll "bless" you!

As A Witness, Were You Intrigued By Prophecy?
by minimus ini knew some jws that lived for examining so -called bible prophecy per watchtower interpretation.
everytime they thought a "new point" was being brought out in a watchtower, they would begin their speculations and discuss their views with like minded theorists.. personally, i never got into bible prophecy, especially after realizing how the watchtower has changed their opinions over the years.. did you really get into prophecy or were you more into other aspects of jwism?.

Tolstoy quote
by AK - Jeff in"the essence of any religion lies solely in the answer to the question: why do i exist, and what is my relationship to the infinite universe that surrounds me?
... it is impossible for there to be a person with no religion (i.e.
without any kind of relationship to the world) as it is for there to be a person without a heart.

Wouldn't the death of three suffice?
by AK - Jeff inwhy would a so-called 'loving' god put mankind through millenia of time, untold suffering, death to billions of mankind, all over the sin of a naked lady eating an apple without permission?.
how could his need to 'fulfill justice' or whatever theological argument is presented to justify such time to pass before correction - ever equal the pain it has forced mankind to endure?.
why did he not just kill one man, one woman, and one snake-imitating fallen angel - wipe the slate - and start fresh?

The Creed of Henry Louis Mencken
by AK - Jeff inat least as attributed to him:.
i believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind - that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking.
i believe that no discovery of fact, however trivial, can be wholly useless to the race, and that no trumpeting of falsehood, however virtuous in intent, can be anything but vicious.
