  can any one recommend any good books to read that have come out in the last few years?

  i haven't read a good book in a long time and i'd like to get into reading again.

  i'm not into autobiographies or sports books.

  Let the Great World Spin

  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5941033-let-the-great-world-spin

  And, this one too. If you can handle it. A tough read. It took me a couple readings to get through it. Really really raw and a little too real. A graphic and horrifying story of North Korea

  John: But you also have to think that those pillowcases get rotated around to other people after they are washed, would you wear someone else's underwear even if they were cleaned. Probably not because they touched someone else's junk.

  So. Do you avoid staying in hotels or even other people's homes?

  Just think what has happened on the mattresses and sheets in hotel beds before you booked in. Never mind the floors. Or the towels

  An exMormon? Who was on the org's writing committee?

  Huh

  So that explains the similarities between those creepy Caleb and Sophie videos and the Mormon videos

  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  I haven't found the wall yet

  I realized a long time ago that god is simply a human concept that restricts my mind from learning

  My mind has no wall and I don't expect to ever find it obstructed with that concept again

  OldNavy: Hitting that dratted wall is humiliating and humbling. You will know it when you too smack into it.

  Yeah. All I see on this thread is you hitting your head up against a wall that you have made for yourself

  "The Wall" is your own mind

  Open it and learn something

  does anyone know where i can get a pdf version of this book?

  i’ve always wanted a physical copy but those seem really hard to come by, and if you look online they’re super expensive.

  thank you.. -jules.

  RO: any other insights into why the lack of a current edition in print physically or as an e-book?

  It was mentioned on a thread recently that the copyright owner is a born again Christian or something like that. The reading of Ray's book has been responsible for many people rejecting the JW faith, but then they go on to also reject christian faith of any kind

  It is quite possible that the misplaced and misguided faith of the copyright holder is what has squelched the distribution of Ray's book

  Misguided Christian morality has, I think, got in the way
