I have to say this sixscreens is totally counterproductive...obviously has its own self-promoting agenda....and is the stereotypical 'angry, raving apostate' that the WT depicts those who leave to be. WHile there are some good, reputable speakers on the show...many of its stories are wild, unsubstantiated tabloids that make this telenetwork the equivalent of the National Enquirer.

Birthdays
by baltar447 inso wife and i are kinda in limbo lately, wanting to fade, but hard to commit to fading 100%.
we have howver decided to do a little birthday thing for my son soon(cake but no candles, but did get him a present and card), and we haven't really talked to the kids about how we feel lthat birthdays are no different from anniversaries despite what the society prints.
any ideas on what to say to the kids or how to deal with it ourselves?.

Baltar, quite simply the same logic the org uses against B-days can be used to ban anniversaries- pagan origins, glory to one person or a couple in the case of anniversaries...no record of 1st century Christians observing wedding anniversaries...probably don't need to get a whole lot deeper for young children. PM me if you want to talk more.

Why This Atheist Respects the Jehovah's Witnesses-And why other Atheists should too!
by RaustBD ini'm an atheist, and i'd like to take some time to talk about why i hold a great deal of respect for the jehovah's witnesses, and some words of encouragement that may put an end to the ridicule and disrespect you seem to get from, well, all sorts of people.. .
i never gave this kind of criticism a second thought: i knew nothing about you, and i figured you were just another fringe group of christianity.
i now feel terrible about this, and i wish to apologize for my (admittedly never spoken) disrespect.

RaustBD: While I do feel that many of the Watchtower's stances on various issues (such as the scientific theory of evolution) are problematic, I can honestly say that I'm not bothered too much.
My reply: Why would this not bother you? Most Atheists I have known have been bothered by the JW stance on this.

So what is your view on the JW belief that those who are not a part of their group, faithfully serving as the leadership demand they will be personally struck dead by God?
