Hi Everyone. Answer to prayer countdown...
by Stumpy ini've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.
you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!
what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.

Why do we get TTATT and others don't?
by quest81 ini have thought about how ttatt came full circle for me.
how the connecting the dots was simple and just made sense,.
how silos of information are literally at our fingertips today.. why is it that the ones we love cannot get ttatt?.

A first step is to actually allow yourself to question something and then go and seek the real honest answer not the pat, glib, manipulated spin you normally swallow, ..., the next step to exiting the cult is to allow yourself to question everything.
Once you have given yourself permission to question it all then the cult has lost it's magical grip and escape becomes possible, then it becomes probable.
For me, it took a douchbag scam artist pedalling quack medicine to be made an elder despite all the noises coming from the elders that this would not happen for me to go and make the actual effort to make sure the religion of my birth was in fact true or not. That gut wrenching disappointment and anger in that pillock being made an elder put my brain in a state where i allowed myself to question, at first the basics and eventually all of it.
I'd had doubts as all do, but the internal suppression of them is strong and it seems to take an external kick to put the mind in a position to allow it to change it's way of thinking.

Thought provoking articles / videos
by Simon ini came across this site and love it, just full of interesting things to read.
this one is particularly good about whether we are alone in the universe (as intelligent life) and what different scenarios could play out:.

A rarest of rare inventions madeāit is better to remain open-minded!
by economy init seems even the famous scientific laws such as the law of conservation of energy (and lenz's law, which forms the basis of mechanics and thermodynamics laws that suggests machines cannot attain over a 100% efficiency) are all not ultimate.
someone has already succeeded in developing a space generator, a super high-efficiency machine that produces power from vacuum.
the thing is going commercial now with a famous electric company purchasing its the patent.

Why people don't believe in God
by pressman indo you want to know why i think people don't believe in god?
well i believe people don't want to believe in god because they are scared.
they know that if they finally do gorge the confidence to believe in him, he might discipline them for their skepticism.

she passed faithful to the end to them!
by jookbeard injust found out (second hand of course) and by someone on here that my faithful jw mum passed away within the last couple of days, dont know the exact day, and what cause, she spent the last few years living with my fanatical sister, she was 65 and survived my father by 10 years, bitter, angry and hateful till the end and never as so much enquired or asked how her 2 grandchildren ever were , they are 5 and 7!
feeling a mixture of emotions right now, they were lousy parents in all honesty, she suffered health wise so maybe its for the best, dont even know when the funeral is!

Thoughts on "Going Clear," the Scientology Documentary
by OnTheWayOut ini managed to find a copy of "going clear" on the internet.
i won't post a link because most are loaded with pop-ups and you have to be careful about accidental downloads.
mine was no exception, but i managed to keep the computer clean.

The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos is Designed for Discovery by Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards
by Slidin Fast insomeone raised this book/film to me recently as scientific argument for intelligent design.
i have neither read it or seen it as a film (i hesitate to classify it as a documentary).
having done a little research it seems to be at the least be viewed as controversial by the scientific community.

Low res version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmIc42oRjm8
i think i've seen it or something very similar when i was a believer, I cant remember anything specific as when it says what you think you want it to say your thinking abilities shut off. The argument is basically - too many coincidences for life to happen here, therefore god. But anyone with a sceptical brain knows that does not compute.
if i can muster the enthusiasm to watch this one i will.
