Landy, why is it dishonest to start with a preconceived belief?
Because you will always twist existing facts (and ignore others) to reach your desired conclusion. Which pretty much makes a mockery of your (royal your) whole reasoning process.
your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.
k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

on a road trip with my jw dad and stopped at the rest stop.
this jw lady walked up to me with a craptower.
big mistake.
Or you could have simply said 'No thanks'.

Simon and Cofty have made my points, but I'll just add that to start with a preconceived belief and then try (unsuccessfully) to twist existing facts and theories to match that belief is the most dishonest form of thinking and reasoning there is.
after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
SBF - life doesn't necessarily have to have some higher 'purpose'. Maybe it just is. The constant search for a meaning to life can consume you and stop you having a life.
As for life's purpose, I'm on holiday at the moment and planning on having a nice meal out tonight. That's enough purpose for one day. :)
you don't really need me to tell you this, do you?
I suspect Poopie needs to be told the correct way to sit on a lavatory.
i was able to sign out thanks.
not that knowledgeable about computers can you tell?
i have used a username that i'm nervous my husband might recognize if he were to find this site.
If you pm Simon he should be able to change your username
please post your favorites too.
my favorite quotations:.
you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.. don’t think of cost.

In the UK, if a minor with JW parents looks like he might be in the situation where he needs blood then the doctors would have a court order in place quicker than the patents could say 'Liaision commitee'.
Thankfully.
...hope to enjoy everlasting life and witness the resurrection, things unseen by the world.
like the philosophers of paul’s day who called him an ignorant “chatterer,” most people today think that the hope we preach is sheer nonsense.
(acts 17:18) .
"The hope we preach is sheer nonsense." - Jehovah's Witnesses
That's exactly the sort of misquote the JWs used to do in the creation book :)
it appears there is about a million voting age jws in the us right now.
it appears there is 8 million ex jws or in the shadows.. if those 8 million would have the guts to come out for a presidential candidate to come out, we can finally end the slavery, tyranny and corruption in this and many other circles.. cowards die many times but a hero only dies once.
and cowards die in revelation.. so, to you reading this, are you a coward or a true steward of the earth and creation?.
Can someone precis that please?
