  DON'T PANIC — Hans Rosling showing the facts about population

  by cantleave in

  an incredible lecture that uses statistics to show that the world is much better than many people think.. the challenge of population explosion - has been solved.. the challenge of extreme poverty is within our grasp.. the challenge of climate change - well that's something we need to focus on,,,,,,,,, take an hour watch this, it dispels the doom and gloom preached by many.

  "it is perfectly apparent that god is monstrous, utterly monstrous, and deserves no respect whatsoever.

  the moment you banish him, your life become purer, simpler, cleaner; more worth living in my opinion.".

  Explaining away the increase in anointed

  by lurkernomore in

  2. beliefs

  so i was just informed by my wife that her grandmother (who's also out) has been told by a 'sister' from her old hall that during their most recent circuit visit the co said something along the lines of:.

  isn't it faith strengthening that the number of anointed is falling in relation to the increase in publishers?

  My own daughter has much suffered; she will get justice in due time.

  just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".

  she has attempted suicide a few days ago.

  luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

  Joined up August this year, lurked for 3 or 4 months prior to this.

  I'll be forever grateful to so many of you who've helped me and my wife on our way!

  With another little one on the way any day now, i'm relieved to think my children will be able to grow up without the restraints and restrictions that so many of us have had to deal with growing up.

  Arguably the best debunker on YouTube

  this fellow's channel is called watchtower examination.. he is clear, reasonable, thoughtful--but best of all--his teaching method with visuals is perfection!.

  Totally agree with you Terry his way of tackling their laughable doctrines is great!

  Reading the posts below is equally as interesting. There's a JW apologist who seems to have taken a liking to his videos in particular and seems very keen to debunk the arguements he brings to the table. In turn there are a number of born-again Christians who like to do the same with his debunking of the video.

  As much as it makes for interesting reading I find it simply reinforces my current view (somewhat agnostic) that either the Bible is nothing more than a book of fiction or that God takes real pleasure in confusing his creation and watching them squabble over irrelevant, nonsensicle gibberish.
