I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion....

by BeaverEater in

jw
friends

im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.

while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.

lol.

I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion - yes, it is interesting.

Evolution via natural selection has selected *for* religious belief amongst Homo sapiens.

What this means is, humans always have had - and probably always will have - some kind of belief or interest in 'God', 'the afterlife', etc.

^^^ That may be infuriating at times, but it's just a fact.

Please get in touch with me when you've considered this fact of human behaviour in a sensible manner.

Thank you.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

original reddit post (removed).

It's hilarious listening to Lloyd attempting to rebut Kim Silvio's reason for going public.

It all boils down to these three points ...

1. Using money donated in good faith for trips to Thailand and other places for meeting sex workers is a misuse of funds.

2. Being involved in fighting Watchtower's child abuse problems whilst at the same time using sex workers (some of whom may have been underage, or women who were forced into it) is also wrong.

3. Using sex workers is illegal.

Good video posted by Pimito on page 969.

Lloyd is basically just a fat grifter who has probably never had a real job.

He's essentially a parasite, dependent on the continued existence of the WTS for his own existence, in the same way a flea is dependent on a cat or dog.

Lloyd may wish for the downfall of the WTS, but if that happened, what would he do for the rest of his life?

American Healthcare: How your system works

by Diogenesister in

canada has universal healthcare.

the consensus is that america never will.

can anyone explain why, please?

LoveUniHateExams

Unless the demographics change drastically in the future it's likely to remain a deadlocked issue and it'll stay as it is - so there we have it.

There is no consensus among US citizens for change re health care that's free at the point of delivery.

May things continue the way they are - I'm sure we can all respect the democratic will of the US electorate

Link between relationships and health/happiness

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

even though i’m agnostic so will not commit to either intelligent design or chance, i love being part of the congregation for the close personal relationships.. there is such a great atmosphere inside the congregation it really is like a family and you don’t get this anywhere else.. a real friend is someone you can rely on when you are in need.

if things go wrong for you and you are going through a hard time you know real friends will be there for you.

as long as you didn’t bring it on yourself by going against gods law then you have to prove you are repentant first of course.. there is a lot of research now saying that good friends is essential for healthy and happiness.

I don't know much about links between health and relationships.

But I have heard that two-parent families are the best to bring up children.

LoveUniHateExams

Can anyone explain why, please? - because there hasn't ever been a referendum on it.

Does the majority of US citizens actually want an NHS-style healthcare system?

What would Watchtower Corporation(tm) do?

by punkofnice in

what would watchtower corporation(tm) do in compromise of their 'north korean style rules' if by publicly removing them, they could get more money and power?.

if each governing body(tm) member (pee be upon them), were offered a few million quid/bucks each to rescind the barbaric 'no whole blood' rule?.

i know what i think these fake religionists would do.

LoveUniHateExams

EG. If each Governing Body(tm) member (Pee be upon them), were offered a few million quid/bucks each to rescind the barbaric 'no whole blood' rule? - this is an interesting thought.

But I think that they might well refuse this money, knowing that their refusal would probably lead to an increase of donations among the faithful (brainwashed) and save face.

The GB or whoever are in charge of the religion are pretty canny. They know how to keep their bullshit going. Let's face it, they've been doing just that for 150 years, lol.
