  Good idea Jgnat.

  "The Better Angels of our Nature" by Stephen Pinker should be required reading for every ex-JW

  I'm having a blast reading up on them and their uplifting vision and insights.

  Greetings

  Here's an overview of Stephen Pinker's book - very interesting and totally different from what we were taught by the WT:

  Good ideas on this Thread, thanks jgnat.

  I was in conversation with a couple of elderly JW's the other day, we spoke of nothing religious, but I was able to talk about all the wonderful advances that have been made in recent decades, and the things to come.

  I am sure they find this sort of info. discomfiting deep down, it goes against 130 or so years of rhetoric.
