satan the hero?
by rather be in hades inoddball question, perhaps this has been asked a billion times, but when leaving the cult, has anyone ever thoght satan could be the hero?.
before eve took a bite from the apple (get your mind out the gutter, we're not talking abotu oral), hmans were essentially enslaved to god.. afterwards, she and adam gained new consciosness.
like unplugging from the matrix.. thoughts?.

how many of you guys were told it was a cult before joining up?
by rather be in hades inthis is more for those who were born out and converted personally.
i'm just curious if anyone was told while they were still studying if this was a cult before they got baptized.

for those of you with family members still in...
by rather be in hades inhow badly do you want to see the org die?.
would you work actively towards the end of the watchtower society even with family members still in it?.
have any of you initiated the shunning for your own piece of mind?.

the new heavens and the new earth...
by rather be in hades in...is here today.. rev 21:1-4 = then i saw a new heaven and a new earth,[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.2 i saw the holy city, the new jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from god, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.3 and i heard a loud voice from the throne saying, look!
gods dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.
they will be his people, and god himself will be with them and be their god.

think i'm becoming an atheist
by rather be in hades ini was just thinking about how often i prayed when i was going downhill.. now i subscribed wholeheartedly to the 'don't pray for bullshit requests' concept, so at first i rarely prayed.. starting around middle school, 9/10 i prayed for friends.
didn't really pray to stop the teasing, my fists did some of that and besides...racism isn't/wasn't jehovah's fault anyway and i can't pray for that to end when he allowed the witnesses to suffer in ww2.. through high school, same issue and then when i started pioneering and hanging out with some of the other witnesses, those prayers prayers for friends intensified cuz they were asses.. but they were dominated by the prayers to love god starting around 15. i didn't want to read the magazines, despite how much i love reading.
didn't want to stdy the lessons, didn't want to plan my presentations, though i did enjoy giving the talks and crafting them.

what is the dumbest thing you've been reproved/chided/df'd for?
by rather be in hades ini'm a big science nerd and i remember when we were going over the creator book, that the big bang doesn't necessarily prove there is no god.. i said this comment during book study and the conductor's jaw dropped.
everyone was pretty uncomfortable and it didn't help that he ct me off as i was explaining the red shift and mom wasn't too happy about all that.
i had to do a lot of bible research and write some nonsense about how the big bang was not reality or some sort...ugh.. .
