has anyone read dawkins new book the god delusion yet?

he discusses the creation book on pages 119-121. he says that he discusses this particular tract only because it has had such a wide circulation - no fewer than 6 of which have been sent to him personally.

well i think he has at least 7 copies by now because i personally know one witness who sent him one following his recent the roof of all evil?

Hi slimboyfat

I’m reading this book in fact can't put it down, I wish I could have read it 30 years ago, before I wasted most of my life believing in a myth, and wasting time at meetings, field service, assemblies and pre- meeting study, and more time wasting business the (swear word here) WTower gets you doing, ‘as if’ this is service to a god (Jehovah, non existing).

Look at the back cover and read the remarks from Derren Brown: ‘this is my favourite book of all time. I hope that those secure and intelligent enough to see the value of questioning their beliefs will be big and strong enough to read this book. It is a heroic and life-changing work.’ Philip Pullman; ‘….It should have a place in every school library – especially … every “faith” school.’ I say (frogit); ‘What about Kingdom Hall Libraries’.

A side note when the Creation book was released years ago, I took time to check the quotes with the sources at my local library, you know what? they where taken out of context and made no sense to me, but because I was in a mind control group (JWs), I dismissed my findings, and put faith in the (swear word here)WT, I wish Richard Dawkins had come to my attention way back then.

I would also recommend reading the first few pages at your book shop (or even buy the book it’s worth £13.99) say Waterstone’s, (have coffee as well) by Derren Brown ‘Tricks of the Mind’, this throws more understanding too on why we humans believe in god’s, and are deceived by religion.

Deep acceptance and faith is considered a good thing in the world, but now I say, “truth is real truth, when the facts show it to be truth, not faith which is totally blind and deceives gullible people”, like I once was.

I recommend other books from Dawkins the Blind Watchmaker for example.

God is a delusion, so don’t waste your life anymore following that belief. If you still believe, challenge your beliefs’ by reading this book by Richard Dawkins.

Hope you like the view.

Dear Dan

You now have a great life ahead of you, go make the most of it, the WT is full of rubbish and have tried, and failed to explain “the Truth” .

Who is that PO? Sounds like Ronnie Reagan to me, and talks such a load of rubbish……

i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

beards not a rule but!!!

this caught my eyes and reminded me when as a ministerial servant that we had to go into the back room for instructions from the po (not very clever man), he tried his best to explain to us ms and elders about the wearing of beards in the congregation.

he must have gone on and on for 30 minutes about not having beards, but kept impressing that this was not a rule, but beards should not be worn, but its not a rule, just dont expect to have any privileges if you grow one on your face and wear it (sounds like you wear it like a tie he he) but we are not making it a rule, just dont wear a beard.
