Cappy... my preference is the Celtic Goddess Epona, the protector of all equine animals. I have always loved horses. I am her, she is me. Of course, me being female, I was made in the image of the Goddess and identify with her very much.

Myth Dispelled! Leaving the Organization is NOT Leaving God
by LeftMyReligionToFindGod init's true, leaving the organization does not mean you leave god.
as someone who was raised in the "truth" i always heard the messaging that if you leave the organization you leave god and lose his protection.
after disassociating myself, i even believed that and began on a path of self-destructive behaviour as i was leaving behind every relationship i had ever known and very ill equipped to live in the "real world" growing up, i always felt there was a higher power and our purpose was more than living a few decades.

You really don't need to go to the Web. Just use your Bible. Bart Ehrman encourages people to conduct a comparative analysis of the 4 gospels. You will see many glaring contradictions when you do. -

It is an interesting exercise to step back and look at Religion's history.
As our knowledge and technology have increased, the instances of God actually interacting directly with mankind has dwindled off to those who suffer from auditory hallucinations.

Proof of Predation 750 000 000 Years Ago
by cofty inpaleontologists have discovered the cause of small holes that have frequently been observed in ancient eukaryote fossils.
please check out the source even if you only look at the amazing picture.... they were being sucked dry by other predatory species.. forget about a "fall" from a disneyesque utopia.
creatures have been consuming each other since the very beginning of life.. reality is far more exciting than fantasy.

From my studies of the natural world, I came to the realization that death IS a necessity for life on this planet. Everything alive must feed which means something else alive must die. Without death there would be no life on Earth. Humans are not separate from this process. We are a part of it. -

"Sadly 'some' of Jehovah's people have drifted away...become inactive...no longer attending meetings or going out in the ministry."
Yeah... dementia has a way of doing that to a person. And my Dad will never be returning.

StarTrekAngel said: Wether you belief in God or Karma, does believing requires one to have tangible evidence for the existence of the thing you believe in?
StarTrekAngel, in my opinion, tangible evidence is a requirement if one is trying to convince others of one's beliefs and threatening these 'non-believers' with harm if they don't agree or comply.

I think the ancients who worshipped the sun as their God were on the right track for without it, there would be no life on this planet. -

Pledge for Global Assistance Arrangement - $15 per publisher!
by nmthinker inlast night our congregation read a letter for the global assistance arrangement combined with the traveling overseer assistance arrangement.
the "recommended" amount was $15 per publisher, which was well over $1000 for our hall.. it seemed steep.
our congregation does not have this type of money.
