DawkinS agrees with contemporary moral views: "CONDEMN [it] AS I or anyone would TODAY." This has been quietly ignored by his critics.

What disgusts me about the religious fanatics who will be dancing in the steets at this:
They read the OT with its accounts of Moses telling the soldiers to take any little girl they fancy, as long as they remove her toenails (WHY the toenails????) All the other murder and mayhem dished out on children, as well as the she-bear incident. No comment except "we cant judge them by contemporary standards..."
Or the Muslims who happily marry off their female children, some when only toddlers. A case this week in the news where a 40 year old husband became a widower, as his eight year old bride died of sexual injuries on the wedding night. Where is the outrage from the immams and mullahs?
But Dawkins says he got over being caressed by a teacher, and there is uproar. Should he be weeping and gnashing his teeth?
We should also remember that physical abuse of children is not always sexual - it can be by means of violent assault, such as hitting with objects and shaking. Does this mean that I can get teachers prosecuted for what they did to me at school along these lines, since it happened only 25 - 30 years ago? I still cringe at the sheer viciousness of one teacher, and have not really gotten over it.

My Walmart encounter with the dubs today
by poppers inyup, there were 3 of them camped out in front of the store with their display of materials - first time i've seen them there.
he said he converted 5 years ago from the presbyterians, and that he had learned more in 1 year with the jws than all his time with the presbyterians (the usual stuff, jesus died on a stake, paradise earth, etc).
he claimed he didn't know about the invisible return of jesus, he was dismissive of the impact of disfellowshipping and that people can leave with little consequence, he claimed that the romans didn't use a cross until 200 years after jesus died on the stake.

I have heard many former members of others churches say they learned more from the WT than in 40 years as a ??
They are just LAZY- mentally LAZY. All the teachings of for instance the Catholics are down in print, as are those of any other denomination.
You have to get off your fat lazy backside switch off the tv and READ.
Once they learn the basics of dubdumb, which are about as hard to understand as an ad for Cheerios, they switch the tv on and sit drooling until they die, not really understanding the WT crap any better.
it is the lazy people who get sucked into the cult, because they cant be bothered to find out for themselves about the WT. LEt someone else think for them.

I remember a book study one Tuesday evening.
Part way through, the doorbell rang. It was a guy collecting for the annual Christian Aid campaign.
Brother: "we dont believe in giving to charity, as this world is passing away"
Guy: "but even Jesus said to help the needy"
Brother: "I am sorry we are Jehovahs Witnesses, and right now we are in the middle of a Bible study." (slam)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

One other thing that not one poster on this thread has mentioned is that in the English speaking world we can invent our own NEW words.
Shakespeare coined countless new words and phrases, which found their way into our everyday speach.
Has anybody ever complained about him NOT using "real words" because he invented them? Only the ignorant Christians trying to get him banned from school libraries because he is "offensive".

We can only use REAL words to describe REALITY.
Since the WT religion is neither reality, nor does it use words like everybody else, real words are useless in the fight against them, as they have written their own dictionary which nobody else can fathom...
If they can make up their own words and vocabulary, so can we, who were taught by Masters.

Witlesses despise those of us on this board.
They will rejoice at our death/destruction. They would have this site shut down if they could. They have NO RESPECT for any body elses beliefs or way of life, yet expect it in return.
I refuse to walk on eggshells to pander to their narrow minded self righteous judgemental mind set.
These are people who shun their own flesh and blood, have killed their own children over the blood issue, and deny any freedom of speech to dissidents, who they label as "MENTALLY DISEASED." Since I am insulted by this term, why do THEY persist in using it?
I refuse to kiss any more brainwashed assholes from this death dealing blasphemous cult.
We are not here to rescue others, but to recover our own life.
If we pander to them on this issue, soon we will be told not to admit to being gay, living with a partner, smoking, watching Harry Potter, all on the grounds we dont want to offend Jdub visitors to the site.
THEN we will be told "dont bother posting if you disagree with the WTBTS religion, it might offend those still in."
Lastly: " dont post at all" - as this will prove we are all diseased apostates, deserving the fate the WT so confidently prints in every issue of its "comics" about the bible.

Mass Disfellowshippings of Inactive Ones
by bytheirworks inthe word out of bethel is of a mass purge the likes of the 1980's.. there's also possible public reproofs handed out for irregular ones.. .
the scriptures they are using to support this:.
the very ones keeping away from you will perish.

Which Beth hell?
Is this not bullying? Any announcement at the Kingdumb Hell with a name attached to it will make them liable for legal action, as it affects the reputation of the person named.
Many on this board have had announcements about them stopped dead in their tracks by threatening legal action.
The local elders are hung out to dry if they are sued, and if the Witchtower can be shown to be behind such actions then they can be sued too. Better get those little ones giving to cover the payoffs.
One member here, a practicing homosexual AND MS for years, (gotta give it to the holy ghost!) when a JC was formed (he had by this time a partner) simply threatened to sue and so nothing was ever done.

*Facepalm* What do you make of this cultish email I just got from my JW friend? What do I say to her?
by Julia Orwell ina bit of background: she is a sweet sister who has hard a really hard life: mum killed in an accident when she was young while once-an-elder dad was off having an affair after having been released from jail after serving time as a pedophile; she spent months in hospital after the accident which killed her mother; brothers jailed as pedos, ex husband left her cold with their 6 month old son- she's had a tough life and is a really sweet lady.
she's intelligent, caring, forgiving and articulate.
far too good for jws.. she 'brought me into the truth' as they say, and as such we've always had a pretty good bond.. now, after the gossip/slander fiasco of another so-called friend running around telling everyone i'm an apostate and not to talk to me, i unfriended my jw friends from facebook with an explanation.

Some people can suffer terribly, yet still fail to learn real compassion.
Let the dead bury themselves. She will die one day like everybody else - only she thought it will never happen.
Save your love for those that deserve it, not the users at the Kingdumb Hell.

That vese of Zechariah sums it up.
The false prophets start denying they were ever that .
Having said on many occasions that the WT and its followers are a "prophet" they now deny it since the internet is exposing their 100% failure rate. (Deut 18)
