Leolaia. Her synesthesia gave her a fantastic ability to memorize, research and write scholarly articles.
She is missed by those who knew her.

Who is your favorite thinker pt 2.
by The Rebel inonce upon a time i started a thread who is your favorite thinker and got many responses.
however revisiting that thread i noted we were to modest to name ourselves or fellow posters.
i therefore think we are either complete idiots, or modesty aside we should now name names, and restrict our answers to posters on the board.. so who on this board is your favorite thinker and why?.

"New Heavens & New Earth" (Why The Need For New Heavens?)
by NoMoreHustle ini have been thinking about this phrase lately "new heavens & new earth".
the new earth piece i guess i can see that one...... (still not really sure about that one) .
but why the need for "new heavens"?

I think the JW response is that the new heavens refers to the actual atmosphere of the earth. It would be new if the pre-flood atmosphere were to return.

Should I just tell my parents
by BlackWolf inlately i've been feeling just so fed up with this stupid religion i really can't take it anymore!
i'm starting to think that maybe i should just tell my parents how i really feel.
if they treat me too badly or kick me out i could probably stay with my non jw aunt.. ive just reached my breaking point, i don't really care what people think of me anymore.

What Faye said about developing a relationship with your aunt. Maybe she can take you in after you turn 18. Just enough to get your bearings straight and not make any major mistakes.

Why Are You Here?
by Believer ini'm wondering why believers remain members of this forum which is clearly hostile to believers.
as one member said, nonbelievers pounce on any semblance of belief like piranhas on prey.
as former jws we should have had our fill of judgmental know-it-alls, but here we are.

Believer, I've been out of the Jws, physically and mentally, for 35 years but I still drop in for two reasons.
First, to keep up with what they're doing. I should not really care but I live in an apartment complex of over 100 units virtually all of them JWs (and many df'd and inactive ones).
Second, this is an excellent forum for discussion on non-JW social/political issues.
As an atheist I do see that there is no respect by some and threads started by believers get hijacked. I have seen threads posted with the title asking that only believers participate but that doesn't keep the critics away.
Maybe Simon can create a special sub forum for believers only or moderators can enforce certain rules. That might attract more members like you to this site.

Life of Brian
by berrygerry ini was a younger dub at the time of this release, and stopped watching this movie near its beginning, when john cleese was stoned with the huge rock for saying jehovah.. this was despite having been (and continuing to be) a major john cleese (and monty python) fan.. any fans of this film?.

slimboyfat:
I never understood that joke.
The joke started with 'Pilate' mentioning that he had a friend name Biggus Dickus. The centurion had to control his laughter while Pilate was speaking. Realizing the discomfort of the centurion Pilate then mentioned his wife's name "Incontinentia Bottuck" to see if he would break down in laughter.
Biggus Dickus married to Incontinentia Bottuck = A big dick and a woman who cannot control her defecation presumably during anal sex..
