It's an emotional thing
by Doltologist ini have exchanged posts with a number of you in the short time that i've been a member of this most excellent forum.. as i initially posted, i have aspergers syndrome.
in my case it is both severe and mild.
it is mild in that unless you talked to me for some time you would only think me a little odd.

14 replies in one hour! You struck pay dirt comet.
Seriously, my opinion is that any god conceived of by any religion is definitely non-existent. If, however god is defined strictly as a creator then I could imagine some extraterrestrial scientist (Outside of our universe) making universes as part of a laboratory experiment. Not likely but who knows?
I would refer to that as atheism with a special condition. There still would be evolution, no afterlife, no judgment in this world or any other of the attributes that theists ordinarily used to describe god.

A Total Waste of Time "In The Field"
by OnTheWayOut inso i am walking down the street in a spanish neighborhood and two men, obviously jw's, are standing between houses writing furiously on their tiny slips.
i am nearly a block away approaching and they just kept writing the whole time i walked up.
i finally arrive to pass them and they are still both writing.

Good for them. Both the householders and the Witnesses.
I'm surprised though that Spanish Witnesses are that lax. They've always seemed to be more motivated than Anglos.

I knew of a sister that claimed that she had been raped by a demon in her sleep. When she woke up she would feel the wetness in her unmentionables. Needless to say, there are other explanations for that. -

Our hall is asking for money...
by thedepressedsoul ini guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

Just put a folded copy of the September 2015 public Watchtower, highlighted where it says they will never solicit for funds, into their contribution box. -

What would happen if you drop a fake check or bill in the donation box?
by StarTrekAngel inwhat would happen if we started dropping fake check or bills inside the donation box of an assembly?
i know, is a crime, but so is pushing someone to not accept blood and die.
would it help skew the numbers enough if enough of us did it?.

"If these things are not demons, then what are they?"
What LisaRose said. They are mentally ill and acting out. Plus you have to realize that 99% of what the Witnesses say are urban legends and that miniscule amount that may somewhat have happened is the person's imagination.
"But every once in a while...one comes along that just creeps me out".
Which means that the person stating it is creepy himself or maybe suffering from sleep paralysis where vivid, morbid dreams are so realistic that some people think it actually happened.
But like the second story, 4 elders, physical damage to the Kingdom Hall, visits from HQ regarding it? I'd feel foolish DENYING it happened.
The so-called 4 witnesses to the act might as well be part of a made up story. The story may as well include the whole congregation observing the situation.
Here's an example of a Christian Fundamentalist describing what is probably a sleep paralysis episode that he went through.

Plastic surgery prize for beauty pageant winner?
by Simon inthis is a bizarre story where a university held a beauty pageant in a night-club and the winners received vouchers for plastic surgery.. ok, apart from the wildly out of date neanderthal concept of lining girls up to rank their attractiveness and treat them as objects, the prizes simply make no sense.. surely those ranked right at the bottom should be the candidates for cosmetic surgery?
if someone is already beautiful, don't mess with it!.
the world is just bonkers..
