You're only an ATHEIST because of the abusive relationship you had with your former religion..?
by Velour inthe few times that i've had a chat about my atheism, i usually get a response like the one above.
"well, seeing how you were in a cult- i can understand why you're an atheist now," just dismissing the bulk of the reasons i have for my disbelief.. i think what is particularly awkward about someone telling me this is- it's part way true- only part way though.
however, they stop listening after i explain to them that, "yes, being in a cult was an impetus to my search" and they fail to hear the rest of what i'm saying and believe that i went from point a to point f and just skipped all the steps and months of research in between out of some kind of anti-jw tantrum.

Things are heating up again!
by TimothyT inthis evening my dad came into my room and told me that this week he is going to disassociate himself.
he is totaly fed up with the organisation.. recently a brother in our hall snitched on my brother and i for supposed wrongdoings (myself for being gay), and the elders have been badgering our family for a few weeks now.
we are all tired of it.

Question for the Athiests/Agnostics
by jwfacts insome people feel they need a religion, and need to attend a church.
if such a person starts questioning the watchtower and they asked you "where else to go?
", what would you recommend?.
