Why Do people think they need A GOD to be good people?
by LucyA ini decided after much study and soul searching that i dont believe in god.
ive noticed recently (not on the forum but others) some people seem to think that if i dont believe in a god that im obviously morally bankrupt.
i dont feel this way as i give a portion of my income to charity and i have never set out to harm anyone else.

Calling all Americans!!!
by LucyA inwhy are americans so paranoid about the government?.
please understand im in no way trying to be disrespectful to your country im just trying to understand why their seams to be an outcry every time someone mentions the government legislating over something eg healthcare.
although i dont trust our pollies i would never withdraw my support without at least reading the legislation first.

Just had really funny conversation with an elder!
by LucyA inmy mother doesn't even try and broach the subject of me becoming a jw anymore because she knows i wont speak to her for months if she tries.
what she does do is get the elders to call me.. an elder just called me as i was downloading some evidence of evolution and happened to mention this to him and he said and i quote.
"oh you dont need to research crap like that i already did and the whole theory is crap" thats it no evidence to back up the statement he just made he just expected me to agree.

So i'm in trouble with my mother again! (Just venting)
by LucyA inalthough we were born-ins three of quit being jw for various reasons the only one still in is my brother (whos devout) he also converted his wife.
so here it is both my sisters were born two weeks apart and we decided we should all get together and celebrate their birthdays they got presents it was a fun day.
but here the fun part i get a call from my mother ask why we had "excluded" our brother our response he doesn't celebrate birthdays we were respecting his beliefs and my mother goes into a rant about us not caring for him this is a man who doesn't return our phone calls takes every opportunity to lecture us and show total disregard for our beliefs or feelings.
