New Here
by LearningMore ini have been lurking here for a couple of months.
i was born and raised as a witness, and am a little weirded out to even be posting on here (you know the paranoia).
anyway, i faded about 10 years ago, and after reading so many posts, i am so happy that it was a pretty uneventful experience.

Why to people give thanks (prayer) to god for their food?
by sinis ini find it completely ironic that people thank god for food and clothing, when if you look at the ot in genesis you see how yahweh curses the ground and tells man that he will work his ass off for food, shelter, daily life.
why are people giving thanks to a god who knowingly made life hell to begin with?
couldn't it be said that man works for his own food and that he should be thanking himself?

question for jw or ex-jw parents?
by atpeace ini'm curious if while you were or still are involved in the organization - did you ever express doubts, especially to grown children?
or, if you had doubts did you still encourage your family to participate?
in your experience, what would be the best way to start a conversation about what you truly believe?.
