    Hi Not Bitter,

    When I first woke up there were to main desires - one was to meet with the elders and tell them everything I'd found out and the other was to invite all family over and launch a full on presentation of everything that was wrong.

    Thankfully I did neither.

    A meeting with the elders would be totally pointless based on the experience of others on this board. Had I done so, I would now be DF.

    A meeting with the family would have resulted in the same apart from maybe one or two who would have seen the truth.

    So far I've just faded - not spoken a word to anyone. As a result there's no heat from the elders and the family are still in touch.

    I do feel sad for them though fighting on doing everything they are supposed to do in their worship of the organsiation and wish I could free them but there's no easy or comfortable way of doing it.

    Jesus will do it when he returns and he'll do it PERFECTLY.

    so how many of you still believe in God?  Can I ask a question that personal?

    I don't think I believe in anything anymore other than the goodwill and kindness of the wicked world

    I'm on your wavelength here, Not Bitter. 

    I stick with what I know and what I have experienced.  Here's what I posted on smiddy's thread "If God truly loved humans..."  ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/202571/2/If-God-truly-loved-humans-why-not-reveal-himself-So-that-they-could-make-an-informed-decision )

    I think a big part of the problem is that most people have been taught that God is a separate being and our Heavenly Father.  This cannot be proven so it's probably wise not to go there. 

    The Bible states that God is Love.  All of us, male and female know love, have seen  love, have given love, have received and felt love.  This is the only REAL thing that makes any sense to me in terms of 'God'.  I no longer see him as a separate being or Father figure.  Love is the most important ideal of all.  And it is a part of every one of us.

    We can only go by what we know and what we experience.  No one has actually seen a separate being called 'God' so how can you know he is an actual being that exists separately and know where he exists?   The answer is "You cannot know."

    The only thing I know is that Love is the most important message from whomever wishes to convey it.  Call it what you want -- God, Christ, the Bible, or any other holy book or person.  As with energy, we all have it within ourselves and the message is to give freely of it. 

    This is ALL that matters.

    I still believe in a Creator Whom I believe to be God,(His Son,Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit >ONE!!!)
    I believe I am made in HIS image I have a body/as Christ did
                                                   I have a soul/As God is
                                                   I Have a Spirit/ As the Teacher has  I am 3 in one as I believe they are

    No body has to agree with me.I am comfortable believing what I believe.But I love any one who don't
    believe the way I do. Not like the Watchtower who teaches hate those who do not accept their teaching 
    You asked  me I replied
