I have a theory related to the cult spectrum

1. jw
2. friends
translating jwfacts into spanish has made me critically analyze pretty much everything paul has written.

some things are just things that are outdated, on other occasions, things are partially right and just need to be tweaked.anyhow... one of the articles is "where else would i go"?since i am an atheist, ideally, for me, the answer would be "become at least agnostic, if not atheist, and lead an evidence-based life".

by David_Jay in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
“we don’t celebrate holidays because god doesn’t approve of any celebration that is rooted in pagan customs and manmade traditions.” (see here for a similar jw response.).
