Atheists, Why the Anger?

by XJW4EVR in

ok, so you deny the existence of a god, or you lack belief in a god.

my question why do you get so angry over a mythical being?

no one gets as upset over the tooth fairy, santa claus or the easter bunny, as i have seen some of the atheists on this board get over the slightest mention of god.

So I finally broke the ice with my fiancee....

by R.F. in

for those of you that don't know, i've recently had many doubts about the org and realized that i can't just let them go.

the thing was however, that i was nervous as to how my fiancee would react when i would make my doubts known to her.

so.....i finally talked to her today and it went a little something like this.......... i started with us reading together acts.

I think in general many JWs are not not interested in times and dates like they were when i was young in the seventy's .the bethel in London stopped tourist visits to the natural history museum in London , because they have a piece of burnt wall of Jerusalem when it was destroyed by the romans.becauce now like yourself doubts are forming in peoples minds in the Borg.

I have always encouraged my children to ask questions ,you cant always take things at face value anymore now we have the Internet and the amount of information available, .

I DID FIND WHEN I WAS A JW , they do not like to be asked hard questions about translation of scriptures,and you must be care full what you say about the borg,or it could be said you are starting to be a bit apostate.

while i was in new york i walked by two men and one looked like the comedian jackie mason whom i adore.

i looked at him and said, "i just wanted to say how much i enjoy your shows.

i've seen you perform a number of times".

You are so lucky, Ive never seen a film actor in real life. probable because i live in sunny Scotland and not dull horrible London.

I have many friends who are atheist and some who are god fearing, and are good people to be with and show me much love and compassion . and try like myself to lead honest and good lives.

They put many a JW to shame,.

There are good and bad people around us in society and if they miss behave the police are there to deal with them.we do still have laws on what behavior is acceptable and which is not.

is this person thick look at what has happened on this planet in the last 100 years , Millions of people have lost there lives to tyrannical atheists and so called men of god who have governed certain countries this planet , i find it hard to believe that folk can be so blind , why is it that all the atrocities that go on in this planet have some sort of link to religion ,for gods sake look what Hitler did to the jews,and now whats happening in a middle eastern country, which is affecting the UK AND AMERICA,

we in the UK are on constant alert at fear of more terrorist attacks.

hi i agree with you ,i am amazed that this forum site allows people to talk that way .it is very racist , i have had many friends over the years who are of a darker skin then myself and have full respect of them and there culture.

being born and live in the UK the two things that get up peoples noses is having wrong views on religion and politic es , i can sure you if that person were to express him self in that way in the UK he would be picked up by the police for making defamatory comments and with the new laws they now have, if they think you are a bit mentally unstable , which you would be if you talked like this person you would be syco analysed by a mental health doctor , i now this to be true as a man in my own town spoke in a bad way to my local community and this was done to him.

you young man can not talk like this. society will not stand for it. be very careful , keep it inside your head.

yours sky captain.

hi i laughed and laughed at what you said, you are so right i became a EX JW last ex mas, and in no way am i angry with god its not his fault his believers are blind and deaf in how they live there lives professing to be christians or should i say like to wear the label, and have a warped view of people who are not jws in society.

hi notaness i totally agree with you i have only recently become a ex witness after being one for 36 years, .

I firmly still believe in god but would not join another religion . i still have many things in my head i have to untangle from associating with being with that organization all those years , .

I had to leave because of the total lack of love shown me, tiered of trying to talk to elders and fellow so called christians who had blind eyes and deaf ears.

Hi newbie very sorry to hear about your situation, where is the love and compassion at the worst time of any body life to lose a loved one you need all the emotional support and comfort , my heart goes out to you.

I myself left the Borg last Xmas after being a JW for 36 years because of the total lack of love shown me , i was tied of hearing excuses , i have many new friends now in my town and beyond who respect me and have shown me much kindness and love as i have come through a similar situation as yours.

kind regards

Stephen.
