When i die i want the redskins to carry my casket....
so they can let me down one last time.
99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.
the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.
if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

eight year old getting baptized!
(from a jw site.
this 8 year old sister was the youngest of the 31 who were baptized at a regional convention in bogo city, cebu, philippines on the weekend.
Darth, while i agree, there is a problem that most in the world at large dont understand: being baptised as a JW has long last consequences. Most churchs dont shun. If you believe something different later in life, not that big a deal. Its because its a cult that makes it so damaging and especially to children who dont know anything different.
In other words, when catholics baptise a kid, so what. Later in life it dosent carry the deep ramifications. Its hard to legislate or show the need for legislation when the consequences arnt obvious to a majority of the population.
judges chapter 15:.
14 when he came to lehi, the philistines shouted triumphantly at meeting him.
then jehovahs spirit empowered him,+ and the ropes on his arms became like linen threads that were scorched with fire, and his fetters melted off his hands.+ 15 he now found a fresh jawbone of a male donkey; he reached out and grabbed it and struck down 1,000 men with it.+ 16 then samson said: with the jawbone of a donkeyone heap, two heaps!
I enjoyed reading the thoughtful remarks regarding the historicity of samson V Hercules. I have pondered that myself and also wondered if it wasnt simply stuck in the book of judges post greek influance. The parallels are too great to dismiss. The account of jesus also compres in similar ways. Son of god, Saviour etc. Pauls use of tartarus, a previously unknown word and concept to jews, shiws just how much greek influance there was in biblical writings.

And lets add to it a couple of other accounts:
samson kills a grown lion with his bare hands.
samson rips a cities gates from their hinges and carry them up a mountain.

To echo bu2b, While i would have been first in line as a believer to bounce these clowns, just on principle, someone with a simple sign promoting jwfacts would have gotten my notice, at least a little. I would definatly have looked at it when i got a moment alone....
Im not a big bible believer anymore and the initial topic intrquied me, but it lost me from the first entry and im suspect it would many true believers as well. 20 million people alive in noahs day...? Its so difficult if not outright impossible to extroplate the imagiary population of an imaginary time period in human history thats its laughable to even try, but that number just struck me as an attempt to be sensational. When your grand total is only 25 million and your very first guess is a wild 20 million, the whole chart falls apart.

Sigh.... Idiots. And the end.. "Bit quick with your hands? Trying to be quick with your hands on me?" Clown. Anyone could see the only agressors were those two buffons. That wasnt protesting and nobody, not one single person, benefited from that or ever will. That was strickly to feed the egos of the two trespassers. Hope they had fun.
i just buried my beloved poddle, little brother.
he died suddenly.
i know to most people that is not an important event.
Bulls*** its not important. my dog died on 9/2012 and i didnt get over it for a year. I still miss her. And if dogs dont go to heaven then im not goin either.

after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.
Lol i have to agree they are trolling us! Its pretty damn funny though. Props to them for gaving a sense of humor about it
