My view of religion using an analogy of theism vs. atheism...
by unshackled insince starting to leave the jws about 10 years ago (i was a fader) i've spent plenty of time going over what i was taught, scrutinizing the bible and its history, and reading books like the god delusion for a fresh perspective.
i would say i've landed on the atheist side of things, though i don't like the word.
(we don't have one for non-stamp collectors...so why non-believers in a god?

this is not a dramatically "new" discovery (this has been hypothesized before) but the findings from this actual meteorite are pretty cool.

Confession iPhone app blessed by Catholic bishop
by unshackled ina confession app for your iphone is just absurd.
can humans get any nuttier?
but really...this is not a whole lot nuttier than confessing to a man dressed up in robes proclaiming to be your mediator between you and some supreme invisible being.. http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2011/02/08/technology-confession-app-catholic-church.html#socialcomments.

Are JWs just innocent victims or accountable for their actions/choices?
by unshackled ini've been wrestling with this question for a while now.
seems everyone on here either has family that are still jws, or at least what were good friends.
i'm focusing mainly on our jw family members.. .

Do you feel spiritual and what defines it for you?
by unshackled in(i'm sure this has been covered on here at some point...but seeing that the membership is constantly shifting, let's do it again.).
so i don't mean spiritual as in belief in the supernatural or relating to religion, though doesn't exclude that either.
but more so in the broader sense...the stuff that affects the human spirit, what moves you, what adds meaning to your life?.
