  since waking up i find i am bridling at being called 'sister'.

  but it feels like an identity that is being forced on me.. i feel like shouting "i have a name you know!".

  it is just me or does anyone else recognise this?.

  If anyone has links with the press this needs to be sent to them! The press needs to see this, it would make one very juicy story!

  How do jw's explain vestigial organs in humans?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i only recently became aware of cases of people being born with tails.

  having looked into it this is a evolutionary leftover and we have many other examples within each one of us like the appendix, wisdom teeth, and muscles to move the ears.

  plus many more, this seems to me to prove evolution completely.

  Article on Aum Cult.

  discussion on this site and others have pointed out the similarities between high control religions (like this one) and isis.

  i believe this article shows that the only thing keeping some jws from committing murder is the absence of "new light" on the matter..

  Facing up to the reality of the world

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since becoming atheist i have been paying more attention to world events and issues.

  this is giving me some worry's when i see what's going on.

  as a jw i could just dismiss stuff saying "armageddon is coming, jehovah will look after us" etc etc now of course i can't do that.

  How do any of you fellow atheists cope with it?

  Elderly sister disgusted with obscene Bethel 'Happy Song'

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is reported that one elderly sister in british columbia expressed complete disgust at what she considered an obscene act in the bethel 'happy song'.

  now everything is, of course, subject to perspective.

  i would imagine her perspective is just as valuable as anyone elses.

  How dishonest was the Apostle Paul?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  may be some of you will be shocked by this question.

  however, when i was studying the bible with critical eyes i detected that paul ( or saul of tarsus) misquoted the hebrew bible in order to get false support for his arguments.

  of course, this tricky kind of use of the "scriptures" was not only used by him, but others, like the author of the gospel of matthew got unsupported doctrines misquoting verses.

  I have to say I always wondered this about Paul as well, he always seemed tricky and sly
