If Witnesses Really Cared......
by metatron inbeing "in" a religion and actually believing its doctrines are two different things.
i have little doubt that there are probably many leaders in the major religions who are actually agnostics and simply go thru the motions of being faithful to whatever ritual is asked of them.. this is possible because most religions put forth some effort to help people in some organized way - whether soup kitchens, public charities, hospitals or the like.
it gives people who are zealous - but privately heterodox - a chance to be supportive.. sadly, this will never be the case with the "truth".

Harold Camping: I meant October 21 -- May 21 was SPIRITUAL judgement day
by FatFreek 2005 inya'll need to cut harold camping some slack on his apparent failure at his may 21 prediction.
to use a patent watchtower alibi, "he never used the special words, "jehovah said".
besides, harold obviously had some new light since and has altered his prediction by adding 5 months to the original.. harold camping "... said that instead of the biblical rapture in which believers were expected to ascend into heaven, a spiritual judgement day occurred on may 21 instead.

Materialism in your congregation?
by chukky 594 inone of the thing that convinced me that the wt was not the true religion, was the materialism/showy dispolay of ones means of life, that was rife in my ex-congregation.
for example, many had private vehicle plates and huge houses, many kept on moving into bigger and bigger properties.
money for many of them seemed to be the main focus.

Hope for prisoners. Or, why not commit suicide?
by easyreader1970 inthis is copied from a post on reddit.com.
while i don't (yet) have the urge to remove myself from life, i can understand the hopelessness part of this.. .
the reason i am making this submission with this title is because i find my life to be mostly similar to a prisoner.
