  Survey: Who here is an atheist? Who here still believes in God?

  by Christ Alone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to take a survey.

  let's not let this get into the same old same old debate of atheism vs belief.

  just respond with "atheist" or "believer" or "maybe god exists".

  My introduction/experience

  by happy@last in

  2. experiences

  i have only just recently found this site, in fact only recently gone online to do research of my own about jws.

  before i left i had only gone on my gut instinct, not even realising i was not alone with my feelings.

  the week i was appointed an elder some 11 years ago, i had had to write to a congregation many miles away from me about how unloving they were (more details below).. not long after i started to have concerns about jws, expecially as the message of 'following the bibles message' subtly changed to 'follow the fds', this did not sit well with me.

  It's Time to Dump the Hebrew Scriptures.

  by smmcroberts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why do christian religions continue to pretend that the hebrew scriptures (aka the old testament) is god-inspired and that it describes a loving god?

  don't they see that the ot is largely an embarrassment to its believers?

  please read my blog to see why i think christianity should dispense with the ot all together:.

  eliminate most of the NT as well, maybe concentrate on what jc said and not what OTHERS may have said.

  second thoughts just dump the whole lot
