  When I left I still believed it was all true. It was quite a few years later before I realized it was all bunk. I had taken some college classes and there was a lot of things learned that made me raise an eyebrow. When I read CoC and found out that 607/1914 is a big sham it was a huge relief and the final straw I needed.

  I guess i have the WT to thank since they were always pointing out how everyone else is wrong. Well, when I found out they are wrong as well, no need to keep looking. Especially when I only see the bible as a rather lousy mythology book now.

  scientist and atheist richard dawkins has admitted he does celebrate christmas - and enjoys singing traditional christmas carols each festive season.. the writer and evolutionary biologist told singer jarvis cocker that he happily wishes everyone a merry christmas - and used to have a tree when his daughter was younger.. dawkins, one of the most famous atheists in the world, was interviewed by sheffield born cocker when he stepped in as a christmas guest editor on radio four's today programme.. 'i am perfectly happy on christmas day to say merry christmas to everybody,' dawkins said.

  'i might sing christmas carols - once i was privileged to be invited to kings college, cambridge, for their christmas carols and loved it.. read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1100842/why-i-celebrate-christmas-worlds-famous-atheist.html#ixzz39dwxid00 ?.

  Atheists don't celebrate Christmas! We wage a constant war on it.

  Fox News tells me this.

  Athiests: Do you ever wonder... what if?

  i'll start by saying, i'm a ministerial servant who is trapped in the religion.

  my wife is hardcore...but i've slowly been getting her to lighten up, so i'll take it!

  all my friends and family are jw's, and i am employed by a jw (who is actually a great boss).

  The bible says we were made in gods image.

  If I was god and made the universe, I wouldn't demand everyone worship me. Hell, life would be a lot better for everyone and a lot more fun...but I digress.

  I wouldn't have given humans some nebulous book that can be interpreted a billion different ways.

  I wouldn't put a bunch of dorks with pinky rings in charge of my "chosen ones".

  If there does happen to be a god and when I die I go before him, I'm good. The last thing I'm going to think is, "Oh no! I didn't sit in a church and read some old book enough!"

  Did you ever actually believe the JW fantasy version of "Paradise"?

  by Darth Fader The Sequel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sure this topic has probably been discussed many times before but,......... i would like reassurance that i am not the only one who gagged every time i heard a jw pontificating on their fantasy version of what "paradise" will be like.

  particularly when it comes to the animals.

  more specifically, that the animals will all become vegetarians.

  I was pretty much born in so it was basically a way of life believing it.

  A lot of the details mentioned above were never worried about because that was Gods problem.

  Pixar the production company is jealous of Caleb and Sophia video's

  so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.

  he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.

  the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

  Leave it to a CO to say something as stupid as this. I bet the guy hasn't seen a movie in 30 years.

  Are they really that stupid

  i was recently approached by a couple of borg drones while i was walking my dog, and i thought why not, may plant a seed or two (how wrong was i).

  there was no real logic to what they were saying but as i was in the local park the conversation started to veer to how wonderful nature was and how this was the work of a wonderful creator.

  i did not let on i was a former witness and let them continue with their fairy tale of creation and how the vast multitude of animals shows a loving god at work blah blah blah...... but i digress, the converastion then turned to how evolution was false.. apparently to earth is only a few thousand years old, so i mentioned about the burgess shale, to be met with blank stares.
