It's madness, something I can't bear to think about without feeling indescribable rage and frustration. All those little kids and family's destroyed. I'd want to kill Fred Franz if he weren't already dead.

blood -- how many die?
when it comes to estimating deaths related to the wts blood doctrine articles such as the following may be valuable.
the december 2004 (volume 32, issue 6) issue of anaesthesia and intensive care(1) has a well-written audit article on jehovah's witnesses and blood.

given that so many practises associated with christmas are blatantly christian in origin, is christmas truly for atheists?
i know that often there are few christian connotations attributed to it nowadays, in such a secularised society, but history is on record in showing that the whole baby jesus thing and angels singing with their "peace and goodwill" stuff is definitely a christian element.
would any true atheist today want to drink such a mixed cup?
I think more than anything its just funny to watch Christians get pissed off at atheists for celebrating Christmas. More incentive to celebrate. It's almost as nice as eggnog and rum.

a good lesson for everybody using the net ... .
marseilles, france -- skirt-chasing playboy daniel anceneaux spent weeks talking with a sensual woman on the internet before arranging a romantic rendezvous at a remote beach -- and discovering that his on-line sweetie of six months was his own mother!
"i walked out on that dark beach thinking i was going to hook up with the girl of my dreams," the rattled bachelor later admitted.
The whole story sounds fishy to me..

before i created an account here on jwd, i was in a place where i really didn't care about the jw religion any more.
i didn't know or care to know about any of the "scandals".
i'd heard about the un/ngo issue and it raised my eyebrows.
I'm really glad to hear you are getting all your shit together. Losing interest in all this crazy cult garbage is a good thing. I feel the same way about all this Jehovah stuff. My family are out and I don't care about any of my old dub friends. My new ex-dub friends are the reason I'm still here on JWD.
Greatest thing happened to me the other day - I was walking in the mall and saw a dub working at some store. It suddenly hit me that I'm disassociated and considered evil by these people. The absurdity of the whole situation hit me like a ton of bricks and just made me honestly laugh out loud, not in a defiant or supercilious way.. just honest to God laughter. It was so cool. I just dont f*cking care.

Hundreds of years of people living in slavery to the Jesus myth.. I'd say he deserves a novelty light switch. Nice.

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?
have i ever misled you?
i'll answer that--no!
BLOOD ISSUE. Thank God. We're gonna roast those motherf*ckers.

in another thread you ask for evidence that the wts does not pay taxes.
we were specifically talking about the ny headquarters in brooklyn.
:The WTBTS are doing society a great Justice by making, dispensing, Spiritual food that if applied will lead to their everlasting future. What other ORG can and is doing that?
Holy hell, there are actually people in the world who buy this sort of logic. Totally got a JW flashback there for a second.

I've been out for a bit over a year now, and I truly am over it. I take evolution as a fact, I've done all my research and I truly know in my heart that it's all a huge pile of steaming horse shit. Having said that though I'm still interested in what's happening in Watchtower bubble-world just out of morbid curiousity mostly, and I like to try to help newbs.
