I'm now an Atheist.

I was raised in a penticostal Christian home, accepted Jesus into be heart as a child and prayed, attended church, worshiped, and read scripture regularly.

I become interested in Jehovah's Witnesses at the age of 16 because I had a crush on a girl at school who was a JW. I studied with this girl's father who was a ministerial servant for some time. I was eventually baptized when I was 19 and spent about 6 months in fulltime ministry.

Then I got bored. 10 years later I'm now here.

I just finished this presentation to try and appeal to some of my faith touting associates.

<snip!>

I would like to get some comments and criticism on it before I start sharing it around more broadly, so please, feedback welcome.

Best regards,
Josh

Welcome

Not in an intro thread mate. Maybe repost on the general forum for comment?
