Lessee. I can't remember all of them. Back in VA, only Friedman stands out in my mind (he was supposedly "annointed" and he taught the first time I went to Pious-sneer School). Here in SC, I remember Clayton Larken, Melvin Mallett (taught at my 2nd Pious-sneer School), and now Jim Roundtree. I'm sure there were others, but I can't recall them.

NASA's lost day
by goddidit ini stumbled across this old chestnut.
i remember a jw telling me this when i was a kid, and he believed it.. i only recently found out how well known this is, and has been for some time.
does anyone know which of the jw mags or books had it in?.

They do not need, nor would it be wise to try to build faith on anything that cannot be proved to have a solid foundation.
Such as, you know, the notion that the earth stopped rotating for nearly a full day, because some ancient dude needed to finish his genocide.

Do you have a favourite scripture?
by Ucantnome ini have two.. luke 4.
16 he went to nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom.
he stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet isaiah was handed to him.

While I consider myself a pagan, I still find some neat stuff in the Bible.
Ecclesiastes 1:4 - "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever."
Ecclesiastes 2:24 - "There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour."
Ecclesiastes 7:10 - "Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this."
Ecclesiastes 7:20 - "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."
(Ok, I really like Ecclesiastes - probably my favorite book).
Now one for the lulz:
Ezekiel 23:19, 20 - "She began whoring worse than ever, remembering her girlhood, when she had played the whore in the land of Egypt, when she had been infatuated by profligates big-membered as donkeys, ejaculating as violently as stallions." (switched to the Jerusalem Bible here, cause KJV were too prudish to translate so explicitly)

by bobld inmy opinion.
divine judgements-were they cruel.flood of noah-destruction of the wicked.tell me how are animals wicked.drowning them is cruel.babies are not wicked.

Time for my favorite quote again:
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it, a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” - Richard Dawkins

33 percent of Americans reject evolution
by Simon inhttp://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57616373-71/33-percent-of-americans-reject-evolution/.
that seems to be a disturbingly high number for a western / educated / developed nation.. does this have anything at all to do with america slipping behind in the sciences?
it seems hard to imagine they could not not be linked somehow.. no surprise that the jesus party (republicans) reject evolution the most.

Only 1/3? Lower than I expected from the United (Fundamentalist) States of (Jesus) America. Things are looking up. Perhaps one day, this country will catch up to the rest of the world in intelligence.

Then there's the 2-3 page spread they do in the ragazines every few months about ways to contribute. Shameless, pathetic begging if I've ever seen it.
