  Myth Dispelled! Leaving the Organization is NOT Leaving God

  by LeftMyReligionToFindGod in

  it'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.

  Cappy, Dionysus is cool being the Greek God of fertility and wine. I certainly hope Zeus does not get angry with you.

  Luge, there is no advice you can give her because she committed adultery. As a JW, she is not scripturally available to re-marry even if a divorce does happen.
  

  But let's say the divorce happens and she goes against Botchtower and you 2 are together.

  First off, you do realize, that JWs HATE Catholics, right? Second, she is going to live in guilt because her marriage didn't work out and she committed adultery. So she has a ton of crap to deal with. You're going to need to get her some professional counselling. Also, the JWs may hound her and will likely look to disfellowshipping her which means her family will then have to shun her.

  You are in for one hell of a nasty, rough ride.

  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.

  so i decided yesterday to give my wife's full disclosure.

  not sure it was the best decision considering she holds very firmly to the resurrection hope so we can see our babies again.. anyways she is agreeable to begin a study to find a better truth.

  where is a good place to go to get some good reliable biblical info on the web that we can consider together?.

  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 in

  2. beliefs

  paleontologists 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.
