LOL @ SixofNine.

You said:

ps. I don't think I've ever mentioned it, but I think you are very articulate, Crownboy

Actually, you have said it before . On the 10th post in this page of this thread:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=24370&site=3&page=5

you said:

crownboy, I just want to comment on how very articulate you are.
LOL, sorry, couldn't help my bad white self.

Just for being so nice, I'll spot you a couple of points if we ever play a game of one on one basketball. But I'll still have to steal your ball afterward, BTW.

My Humble Uneducated Opinion!

by 68storm in

i would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your valued input on this board.

i will never forgive you for making it almost impossible for me to give up coming here.

this turned out to be like a drug for a weak willed person like myself.

crownboy

Thanks 68storm for your observations. You'll get few objections from the people on this board.

As larc said, no one is going to judge you based on your educational credentials, or lack thereof. Just as long as your posts are educated, which clearly yours are.

However, I do have one objection to raise. You said:

I have come to believe that even atheists have more spirituallity and compassion, than do most jws

Well, maybe you are right about the spirituality part (), but I have to disagree with you on the compassion part. Why do you suppose atheists would not be compassionate? Compassion is not something that is the sole perrogative of religious people, all people of all belief (or lack of belief) systems are capable of and show compassion all the time. Caring for your fellow man has little to do with god, as even you observed that JW's, who most definitely believe in god, can be very lacking in that department. Compassion has alot to do with how you view other people and the rest of the world, and can be practiced by the religious and non- religious alike.

But once again, thanks for your contribution.

Atheism's view on death

by ashitaka in

jw
friends

well, it's winter, and it's just a bit more depressing this time of year, and i'm thinking about death.

i wonder, what do atheists believe about death?

do you believe in any way that a 'spirit' lives on?

crownboy

My personal view of an afterlife is somewhat agnostic. Since I see no positive evidence that there is life after death, I've got to live with the assumption that this life is the only one. If it happens to be true that there is an "afterlife" and I make it, then great, but if there's nothing, then I suppose I'll be as affected by it as I was for the eternity before I existed .

As far as death is concerned, I hope that I will be able to live to a fairly old age before the inevitable happens, but of course you can't fully control that. I just try to be as good a person as I can be, and be a positive influence on those I know. There's not much else that anyone can do, whether they believe in god or not.

Evolutionists Dogmatic like WTS?

by Gedanken in

jw
friends

jrizo in a thread of mine on kangaroos and that seems to have vanished posted these remarks in response to points made by alanf:.

alanf: pomegranate's mind is a fine example of the intellectual desert in which almost all creationists live.

evidence is presented and they discount it with a few inanities and misquotations.

crownboy

jjrizo, wow, a handful of stuff (exposed by evolutionist, nontheless) as compared to the innumerable amount of stuff that is in support of evolution.

Of course, the fact that there is no proof that the earth (and/ or life) was created by divine fiat circa 6000-10000 years ago, and that all the evidence presented by creationist to that effect is false, totally misses your perception.

Phyla and Species of Threads

by SYN in

can you guys think of some other thread species?.

commonly found inhabiting the brackish waters surrounding the territories of the trolls, these threads can be quite flighty and nervous, so approach them with care.

known for their stark, bright plumage, which occasionally consists of hundreds of huge, internet-explorer-choking jpegs, these threads are most likely to be seen during the evening.. the thread started exclusively for the purpose of flaming another thread thread.

crownboy

Great post, SYN.

So funny.... and so true .

Quiz - are you a genius?

i was given this quiz and i enjoyed it so much that i thought i'd post it here.

i assume that all the posts after this one (assuming there are any!!!

) will contain peoples answers, so if you just want to do the quiz, don't read past my post just yet!

crownboy

rem, you may be right about 19, but it was all I could come up with .

#31 I almost didn't get, I had to dig deep into the memory bank for that one, as it has been many years since I've seen a game. My dad is from the Caribbean, and still follows it though, but I'm definitely more versed in the strategy of a baseball game, for sure. (hey, the Giants are only one win away!)

Cease and Desist from WT

by rem in

i know that some who post here have received cease and desist orders from watchtower lawyers concerning the publication of watchtower literature on the web.

here is a website where you can log such legal harrassment and get some advice on what is legal and what is not:.

Thanks for the info, rem.

Funny how these groups that claim to have all the answers seem to be the most adamant against questioning and scrutiny by others. If you're afraid of some guy with thick glasses wearing dirty underwear running a minor website picking apart your theology, then you're in more trouble than your lawyers can bail you out of .
