Atheists for Jehovah is sort of what JWs are.
They don't "believe in God, religion or the bible" they only believe in one thing - the borg LOL.

Atheists for Jehovah
by slimboyfat inthere are hundreds or thousands of websites on jehovah's witnesses with all sorts of slants, but i have never come across any specifically for atheist jehovah's witnesses.
has anyone ever seen a site for atheist witnesses?
i think it would be a great idea, and we could call it atheists for jehovah, as a counterpart to the atheists for jesus.

Have an evening sleep ritual something to signal to your brain it's time to start winding down.
Avoid devices and screens after a certain hour.
Don't eat too late.
Avoid caffeine late in the day.
Avoid alcohol at bedtime as it may help you fall asleep but cause to wake a few hours later and getting back to sleep wil be more difficult than if you had none. Also will cause rebound anxiety.
Read something boring and comforting at bedtime - fiction is good for this.
Focus on breathing inhale for 7 hold for 5 exhale for eight - repeat.
You are not your thoughts.

2018 RC ... and 2017 AGM
by neat blue dog inon another post of mine someone replied with a twitter link showing these stills from the next movie to be shown at 2018's rc, about jonah.
not only is it very early for any leaks to be coming from the convention, but the images appear to be taken off of another screen, which leads me to believe someone behind the scenes leaked this against explicit directions.. also .
where's the agm video leak by now?

I don't get it is he just fishing for ideas for this book or the next one?
Does he then get to keep all the stories and can then use them or parts of them as he sees fit now or later?
I'm not really sure what a person's rights are once they hand over their story willingly like that.

Seems utterly ridiculous to me that a western society is still talking about things like "confessional seal and sacrament" etc in 2017.
If a secular society feels it must have organized religion then make them pay their damn taxes and be accountable for all their actions like the rest of us are. I am so sick of religion's free pass.

Adam and the Dinosaurs
by The Real Edward Gentry inhere is a fascinating subject.
according to the bible , one of adam's first assignments was to name all the animals including the sea creatures and dinosaurs of course.
we don't know how long this took but, as all witnesses know, the time period is crucial in working out the timing of armageddon).

Naming the animals would have been the easy part, sending out the updated list as the human population grew would have been a nighmare lol.

It's either a trap to get you to out yourself or a bluff to get you to go back.
Do not engage.

Charismatic People
by Coded Logic ini was writing about a friend of mine.
i'm a little curious if anyone else knows people like this too.. if personal inquiries were bullets then you’re charisma would be the stuff of ceramic plates and kevlar vests.
i say that because most of these charismatic people i know use their charm to relate to other people.
