  2. child-abuse

  so i had about had enough of reading jw's excuses online about wt child abuse and the candace conti nightline abc video about her case.

  this is a really deep burning topic to me as i'm sure it is to many of you.

  so today the gloves came off.

  Ayn Rand - Opinions?

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you familiar with ayn rand and her ideas on morality, rationality and reason, what is your opinion of those ideas?.

  i'm talking about her actual ideas, not the ideals that libertarianism has adopted and, in some cases, perverted.

  do you think she's a charlatan?

  Thanks for posting the videos. I'll watch those later.

  I have Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead and maybe another. From what I've heard I know I'm not going to agree with her position but wanted to read them to get my own viewpoint. After I got through the first page of AS and glanced at the rest of the 1000+ pages of small print, I quickly decided I didn't want to spend my time on them. I've got tons of other stuff to read and I don't find myself in too many arguments over her philosophy.

  Scary21- That BEP song is surprisingly good. They get a lot of hate but if you just take them as a light, fun band it's easy to appreciate them.

  Blondie- There's new music out there that is good but you really have to dig looking for it. For the most part it isn't even worth digging since there's so much old stuff to keep you going.

  darthfader- I saw Rush 2 years ago and they opened with that song. My favorite of theirs is Spirit of Radio.

  I doubt that they will ever use this as a example of "evil apostates" persecuting them. That would mean that they would have to admit that a bethelite allowed the call to get through. Is that bethelite either a closet apostate or just that stupid?

  I never have a favorite of anything. So many options it's hard to have a top 5.

  Dark Side listed Be by Neil Diamond. That's one of my top 3 favorite ND songs.

  Peter Gabriel-Solsbury Hill 

  Yes- And You And I

  Yes-Yours Is No Disgrace 

  So many others though. Not having a song like Queen Bitch by Bowie or Under Pressure is a shame.

  Nice going through the pages and seeing old friends in this thread. Whatever happened to Sparkplug?

  Nice!

  If I had made the call I'm sure the language would be a bit harsher than calling him "deluded".

  Take it for what it is people and have a laugh. If anything else had been said TOMO would have hung up faster.

  If it gave him a second of paranoia over the fact that bethelites had to patch the call through....it's all good.

  Ouch!

  It's a long tough road out of hell. Glad you made it and sad for those that didn't.

  I would immediately call the police. Just to give a warning to those parents.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses A Cult?

  by What Now? in

  i came across a great quote.... the distinction between cult and religion lies squarely in how those leaving or those wanting to leave are treated.. hits the nail on the head for me!.

  Since I just posted in the other one I might as well post here.

  I remember when I was a witness seeing a list of the defining characteristics of a cult. I was thinking as I went down the list, "well....yeah....but there's a reason we do that." Ahhh, the good old days of cognitive dissonance.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT a Cult......so they say.

  trying to develop a good strategy for relatives still partially indoctrinated by this despicable inhumane cult.

  i researched their own material and i found some good info on how they don't mind control anyone.

  the following unedited information was sourced from their february 15, 1994 watchtower p. 5-7. i've highlighted some sentences that we all know are lies and a distortion of the reality of their community:.

  So they say they aren't a cult, eh?

  Interesting that one of the defining characteristics of a cult is they start defining words how they see fit.
