Even when I left that faith, for a short while I hesitated to speak against them simply because I would be labeled an apostate. And the social consequences of that were immense; not just for me, but my family also.

I met some JW’s at the clinic this morning. Previously someone had placed a watchtower in the magazine bin. I picked it up and looked at it. I haven’t seen one in a long time. That was the conversation starter. I eventually got to the point where I told them I was raised one but dropped out when I was 18.

They talked about the time of the end, the prophecies and talked about the evil people of today.
I let them talk for the most part. I’ve always wanted to see what it was like on the other side of the fence.
I had gotten what I came for at the clinic (some receipts) and they were more than welcome to keep talking. And I wanted them to, because I was about to bust out in debate mode. I addressed the vague qualities of the Nebuchadnezzar statue Prophecy (the only one mentioned at the time) , I also addressed the “why the world is so full of mean people” .

Then they had to go.

Earlier in this blog, I think I’ve countered many Christian supports. I’m not going to go in depth with debating religion anymore because the educational process has a side effect of deteriorating it’s existence anyway. Engaging in technology, philosophy and the sciences also help expose the individual to the logical fallacies associated with theistic religions.

It was an interesting experience.
