Yes, fleas, ticks, and other parasites are nothing if not logical.

Should we try to understand God?
by PeaceAtLast inhi, i am new here and both understand and respect, at the end of the day, we are each on our own personal journey with our own personal spirituality.
i am most sincere and look forward to your kind thoughts about if we should try to understanding god.
as a young child i remember believing in and loving god but, of course, did not think about understanding him.

CC, the truth is you are already an atheist for the most part (Zeus, anyone?), there's just one deity you are still clinging to. That's ok. Read some philosophy, some Dawkins, some Hitchens, some Harris.

Don't Ignore Us!
by peacefulpete inwhen i first left the jw's some years ago, one of the most incredible observations i made was just how irrelevant the wt and jw's were to the larger public.
when the conversation turned to my history (as it often did, because i desperately wanted to discuss it) the most comon reaction was of complete unawareness of the jw's, much less their doctrine, or complete surprise that i regarded them as destructive.
to the later, the jw's were understood to be just another church like any other, a little weird perhaps but just one of the many churches in town.

A few years ago, I gave a guest lecture in a religion course at a private four year college. I gave a brief history of the JWs from Russell through Franz, the various failed prophesies, etc., and my experiences growing up in that environment in the 60s and 70s. Most of the students in that course were 18 and 19 years old. They looked at me like, "What the fxxk?"
The average person could (or is it couldn't?) give a rat's ass about JWs.

I don't have a video link, but Jackson Browne's "Pretender" made me want to quit pretending to be a JW and get on with my real life. Great album.

Babies going to hell? Well, ok, sure, if you say so, makes as much sense as any of the rest of the religious mumbojumbo bs.

Brother A: "Wow, I just got accepted for Informal Pioneering!"
Brother B: "Informal Pioneering? What's that?"
Brother A: "It's a new program the GB has arranged for us. All we have to do is one hour of informal witnessing a day. You should join up!"
Brother B: "Uh, no thanks. I think I'll wait until they cut it down to thirty minutes a day."

To be honest, I have to wonder if they'll drop the Memorial soon.
Maybe they'll require all of the so-called annoited to meet at the same time and same place (say, Yankee Stadium or Madison Square Gardens). Wouldn't that be fine, fine witness?

WT articles that make you go, "WTF?"
by undercover inmarch 1, 2011 wt kool aid edition.... the article: does the bible condemn gambling.
notice the highlighted boxes.... first the indication that the catholic church does not consider gambling itself a sin... and then challenges that because no scriptural passages are given in proof of their assertion.. the very next column though, the wts admits that the bible does not directly mention gambling.
so, um, how do you expect the catholics to come up with scriptures if there are none?.
