  Do you still believe that the Witnesses are the truth? If you do that will affect your decision.

  Site Update: Jan 10, 2015

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i've made some updates to the user section of the site.

  besides some cosmetic tweaks the most notable new feature is the ability to see a listing of the topics someone has posted on - this includes topics they started as well as topics they replied to.. it will look like this when you go to a user page or your own profile page:.

  For some reason I keep getting mysteriously misdirected to this site even though I don't click on anything. It happens without my even moving my mouse over anything. It seems to happen when I try to access anything under Active Topics. Weird.

  Update: It doesn't seem to happen when I use Firefox instead of IE.

  The manager of my apartment building - a JW in an apartment complex of JWs - once flew a flag with a lighthouse shining a light on a cabin. It was one of those customized flag things that offered the buyer a wide variety of choices to mix and match.

  I interpreted that to mean that the lighthouse represented the Watchtower and the cabin represented her home. It did not fly for long.

  It's expensive but if you can find it in a library I highly recommend Neuropsychological Bases of God Beliefs by Michael Persinger.

  Persinger is the co-inventor of the 'God helmet' which when worn tries to evoke religious experiences by running an electromagnetic current into your skull, particularly the temporal lobes.

  Xanthippe, thanks for the welcome. I realize there are those who have faired worse than I in the religion so I consider myself fortunate that I was kicked out before wasting another ten years of my life on them.
