key quote:.
many believe that life came about by evolution.... ummmm, no...that's abiogenesis, not evolution.
no evolutionist says that "life came about by evolution.
Funny timing of your post.
Probably old news for many here, but I was on AJWRB today, trying to grasp the background of the blood belief.
The first quote (and many others) is WHAAAAAAT?

Who needs doctors (physicians and otherwise) when we can read the ravings of Russell, Rutherford, Knorr, Franz and the Magnificent Seven?

This blogger makes an interesting post:
I was channel-surfing not long ago and came across that scene in Airplane where Robert Stack fights his way through an airport concourse clogged with Moonies and Hare Krisnas, and it occurred to me the scene makes no sense now. Cults vanished around 1980, and people who grew up after that have no memory of panhandlers in saffron skirts blocking their way to the check-in counter.
I wondered idly where the cults had gone. Airplane was released in 1980, which was an interesting coincidence. Were the cultists so mortified at being made fun of in Airplane that they left the airports, hung up their robes, and found jobs as insurance adjustors or software engineers?

steven hassen is a well known name for many, if you do not know him google can help.
this information is certainly not new, but as almost every exjw has deep affection and concern for active jws it is certainly my wish and i hope the wish of other exjws that any active jw considers this information.
this information cannot be deemed as apostate, it is just stating the opinion of someone who has spent much of his adult life in helping people to realize what a cult is.
Scratch out Mormon - insert JW or WTS
(Looks like Mormons use the same definition of "Cult" as WTS does - there must be one group advising these 2 "religions" - they operate identically)
the video streaming of the german branch visit program was excrutiating 3.5 hours long.. i just went to see the last 45 min (part of mark sandersons talk).. i think sanderson is quite a sympathetic speaker and he kind of made a loving impression.. he didn't mention controversial stuff (except for one thing i will come to soon).
he mostly talked about how to find joy, even when life is not easy, and how much the gb loves the rank and file.. one point seemed soooo important to him.
parents and children.
Can someone remind me, please? How old was Jesus when HE got baptized?
Also interesting is the age of Jesus at baptism, and the life expectancy of classical Rome - if correct, it was about 35 years of age.
Not much of a dedication, then, was it?
not many shows left.. was a fan from his nbc days when he had a lot of innovation.. no question, he has a quick mind, which to me, is a key to comedy.. a distinct memory was awakening my poor pre-teen daughter when dave was back on the air after his heart surgery.. no matter what, is a changing of the guard (if only the wt could do the same)..

Watching his final episodes.
Featured his Mom's appearances tonight.
She was adorable.
Haters - you are denying history.
so now with the saturday viewing of videos at the kh there's pressure to be at the kh to see the gb do their thing.
this week's thing of course is beg for more money.
also they are meeting to practice singing the new songs when no new videos are out.
Then there is the "good feeling" that attendees get because they think they are "pleasing" Jehovah.
You have summarized the whole religion in one sentence.
"Pleasing Jehovah" = pleasing the WTS.
Thank you Jehovah for making it easy to understand.
i can't believe they still going strong.
tonight on 20/20.. the clippers basketball game is done.lol.
It would be nice for JW's to watch this and make the connection.
Nope. THAT IS A CULT! We have THE TRUTH.
i can't believe they still going strong.

No, I understand.
It's like the old Catholic "blessing" of a marriage by the priest on the bride.
It's just, okay, this is 2015.
And the poor "apostate" mom's efforts to connect with her kids - any DF'd JW parent knows this ANGUISH.
Fucking cults.
(And MEGA-kudos for ABC for taking on cults.)
