  "If you are teaching intolerance, we WILL shut you down!" English Prime Minister David Cameron

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. current

  the prime minister of england made the above statement yesterday regarding any schools that influence youths in a negative manner.. he went on to say that if youths are influenced in a negative manner regarding religious teachings that promote judgement of others (including same sex relationships, etc ) or that look down on other peoples free choice, the government would take action.. i cant find a newspaper article sorry...i just heard it on the radio news.... very interesting though...it may have a bearing on how those who learn ttatt are treated by the organization??

  I think it would be more scary if Cameron had not confirmed he would 'press the button'... as he said himself...

  "If you give any other answer then you are, frankly, undermining our national security, undermining our deterrent, ".

  S*** JW Parents Say

  my mom especially had some go-to phrases that to this day echo in my head and piss me off.

  things like, .

  "don't get mad at me for enforcing the rules, because jehovah made them, so if you don't like it, you're disrespecting him.

  "Why can't you be more like [insert name here], he's already baptised."

  All the while you know that [insert name here] is really the worst possible example of a JW.... probably a crack smoking, perverted, idiotic dolt... but we say nothing.

  It must be a concern of all the information that is now been leaked

  by joe134cd in

  i have put up previous posts about this in the past, but i just thought that it was worth mentioning again.

  it has to be of concern to them with how quickly information is getting leaked.

  hell it even surprises at just how slowly information spreads by offical means.

  IMHO it wont be long before they will make announcements through the JW.borg website. That way they have full control. Maybe in the future dubs will go to the KH for a cup of tea and to watch some internet TV then all go home again!?

  so i was fooled by the witnesses.

  what can i learn from that?

  not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

  I am quite looking forward to the day we can prove some posters on this forum have landed on Earth, let alone mankind landing on a holographic proje.... sorry... on the moon.

  Holy cow... just popped in to say hello and arrived here right at the end of this particularly stinky thread.

  Now this topic is littered with links to and had much evidence posted that help demonstrates that 'we' went to the moon... I am wondering if anyone has changed their mind on the subject?

  I'm an ABSENTHEIST. Are you also?

  by EdenOne in

  it just dawned on me.

  the existence of god can't be proved, neither is there evidence of god's inexistence.

  so, i'm neither theist neither atheist.

  I consider myself an agnostic, sceptical atheist. As I mentioned previously... I

  • do not believe in a god
  • do not believe a god actually exists
  • admit you cannot "prove" all gods do not exist
  • 
    

  "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". I would say that well known expression is a big deal breaker for your new term.

  Obviously this contribution is hearsay but, I know quite a few atheists;

  • all do not believe in a god
  • all do not believe a god actually exists
  • all would admit you cannot "prove" all gods do not exist
  • most (I think) agree some gods can be effectively dis-proven due to their definition

  I think all are comfortable with the label atheist... as am I. Would other self professed atheists agree with this set of statements?

  I am not sure I agree with your logic.

  As others have pointed out the term Absentheist does IMHO suggest a bias (although I understand it is not intended). 'Absent' conjures up the idea that although we cannot find God in this universe, God probably does exist somewhere (perhaps heaven even)!?

  I also disagree with saying you "... CAN prove that God is absent", especially using the definition you proposed. In the definition a) states god is "Immaterial"... by this definition god could be sat on your lap and but you would not be able to prove he is not. Once something is defined as immaterial or spiritual - what evidence can you suggest that proves this god is absent?

  I think I understand why you would like a new term, but personally I do not like absentheist. Maybe others like the idea?
