Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here so this is my introduction. As the title suggests I was raised as a Jehovah's witness with the persistent brain battering of 3 religious meetings a week plus a bible study. The indoctrination process collapsed on itself once I read the bible in full and struggled to see it as fact and saw no way it could possibly be divine.
Since leaving I've wrestled with the philosophy of creationism but come to the conclusion that all organised religion is completely wrong and is a lead weight around the neck of human progress. My mum and sisters have disowned me as is normal with Jehovah's witnesses which always makes me question whether I may be wrong. Being a believer would make my life far simpler but truth trumps comfort as far as I'm concerned.
So in short I'm pretty much sold on atheism but am always open to being proven wrong and like hearing everyone's differing viewpoints.
