  "Religion gives us the Why"

  by Phizzy in

  i have heard this nonsense said by many believers, especially when science conflicts with their belief, they say:.

  " well, science may tell us how we got here, religion tells us why we are here".

  does religion tell us that ?

  Religion is just the comfort of having all the answers even if they are wrong. A fairytale. Those that don't feel they have all the answers to why always find new enlightenment and knowledge while those who feel they have it are stuck and draconian. The first person to ask "WHY are we here" must have been a huge leap in human thinking and philosophy and stirred the imagination. Unfortunately that resulted in the invention of religion and myths. So mankind has taken a detour. Hopefully someday religion dies off and this period belief is just a memory and mankind can continue to evolve un hindered by "to serve God" is the answer. It takes away all our social responsibility and humanity, the first time someone said "MY god says" they gave them selves the rights to kill without impunity and subject others to false ideas.

  Can the world condition be worse than this?

  the innocent civilians being attacked is the norm of the day.

  attacking hospitals too are happening frequently.

  now schools being attacked is becoming a regular affair (last of its kind massacred 150 children in peshawar on december 16, 2014)..

  You have to think of it this way, there are a lot more people on earth every year, and our access to data has changed dramatically. In one way this has brought more attention to atrocities. But when you think about what was going on during ww1 and ww2, the and centuries before, this earth has been through some pretty twisted times. Ive been on earth 35 years, I don't feel qualified to say oh this time is so bad.

  Gaslighting abuse

  by Illuminated in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as a former wt member, would you say the wts intentionally abuses it's members in the form of gaslighting?.

  gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of mental abuse in which information is twisted/spun, selectively omitted to favor the abuser, or false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception and sanity.. sociopaths frequently use gaslighting tactics.

  sociopaths consistently transgress social mores, break laws, and exploit others, but typically, are also charming and convincing liarswho consistently deny wrongdoing.

  Comment someone gave on Today's Watchtower re: great tribulation 

  by cappytan in

  "we may get instructions that don't make sense or they may defy logic, but we must be obedient to the faithful slave if we want to survive.".

  all i could think about was that these were the same kind of people that would have gulped down the kool aid at jonestown without hesitation.. pardon the language, but what the actual f**k?

  even when i wasn't a doubter and bought in to the organization, it was always with a view to what was in line with scripture.
