I would suggest “the god delusion” by richard dawkins.

John 1:3
by Hi y-all injohn 1:3 states in the nwt, "all things came into existence through him, and apart from him (the word, or jesus) not even one thing came into existence.".
the wt states apart from him one thing came into existence, that is, jesus the first created being.. is there an explanation for this apparent contradiction?.
thanks!.

Was there really a specific request for money in this week's meeting?
by stuckinarut2 ini have seen a few comments about this week's meeting.. was there actually a part that specified an actual per-publisher amount that should be donated regularly?.
can this be confirmed please?.
i truly cant believe just how brazen the society seems to be getting - and how desperate they are!.

Now Scottish history disproves the flood
by Splash inwt state that the global flood that wiped everything away happened in 2370 bce.. there's been a wealth of evidence from many quarters which prove that life continued as normal for civilizations during that time period.. now scotland adds to that body of evidence as detailed in this bbc report:.

One absolutely cannot win an argument with a true believer. A true believer will never consider evidence contrary to the bible and therefore never see reason.

The Key Text on JW.Org Leaves Out The Most Important Part!
by steve2 inperhaps the one scripture most often quoted by jws is matthew 24:14: "this good news of the kingdomwill be preached in all the inhabited earth and then the end will come.
" even after decades away from the kingdom hall, i can still rattle off that verse.
i daresay all 8-plus million "active" jws can also recite it, plus the untold millions who have left or become inactive across the decades.. it is among the top cornerstone texts used in jw communications.. but now there's a significant shift in the use of that text: jws often focused heavily on the part of the scripture about the end coming.

Coping With Parents' Becoming Jehovah's Witnesses
by DNCall inmy sister recently wrote a short piece on the impact of our parents' becoming jehovah's witnesses in the 1950s.
she was a teenager at the time.
what is so striking and disturbing is that the same predicament faces so many teenagers to this day.

Ironically i too had a bill when i left that i didnt pay.... you know what they did? They sent a letter to my PO lol.... no i never paid it and he even laughed (it was small, 20 bucks or so). His words were “put it in the contribution box when you get a job”. Bastards.

Again, my point is made by his own words. He took it from the commissary knowing he had to pay for it. Making a video to complain about them being petty is even more petty then they were in the first place. He KNEW it wasnt free. He knew it from the first day he walked into the commissary.
There is so much wrong at bethel, so much wrong with how they treat people, that to cry over shopping in a commissary when he KNEW he had to pay is ridiculous and only fuels the idea that apostates are disgruntled and unreasonable.
New boy has been sharing a very real and accurate picture of life at bethel and all of its brutality and heartlessness. Vary more valuable than nonsense over fruit.

Slim, i see you trying and i dont fault you for looking for the reasonable explanation here, but again, the commissary is cash and carry. Everyone at bethel knows it from day one. There is a cashier for god sake. Every bethelite knows that if you dont want to eat then you simply carry food away for later. They even have a stupid ass bethel word for it (lifted from the bible that i refuse to type). There is no just reason or cause for this man to believe that he didnt have to pay for food from the commissary. Its an exaggerated story to make bethel look bad which dosent need exaggerated stories to look bad.
