    I am new here trying to figure my way around.....

    I would appreciate it if you could say which of these fits you....

    1. Still a JW

    2. If you dont agree with the JW doctrines any longer do you belong to another religious organization now? If so which and why?

    3. Are still religious and have no religious affiliation

    4. Agnostic

    5. Atheist

    6. Other - if so what?

    Thanks guys

    3. But not in the traditional sense. I believe we got here somehow, not completely by chance...whether or not the one who put us here is still interested, or observing I have no idea. I am to the point now where I'm just happy to *BE* After having every step dictated to you, the ability to engage in free thought is rather exhilerating!

    #3. I like the freedom of leaving behind the world of #1 and skipping #2 all together. I enjoy the thought-provoking posts of the #4 and #5 types on this board.

    #4, but I don't tell anybody. You might say I'm kind of apathetic about it.

    Well, I am still religious but have no religious affiliation. Actually, it would be more accurate to say even more spiritual, but absent religious organizational affiliation.

    Genuine Taoists eschew organization.

    cnn, Isn't this a bit personal to ask without even introducing yourself? Would you care to tell us about yourself and make a contribution? It sounds a bit like the last elders' visit we had!

    OK, here's my response: 1....2....3

    I suppose I'm #3 but hard to think of myself as religious. Can't remember the last time I picked up a bible, no that's not true, I picked up my cousin's bible last week to clean the surface it was sitting on.
