JW's Changing Tune
by SickofLies ini left the religion back in the early 2000's, tell you the truth it's been so long now i've been out i don't remember exactly when i left.

when i left i somehow managed to get my parents to come with me.

however, lately i've become concerned because he seems to have gotten into all these conspiracy theories such as 'chemtrails' 'illuminati' 'new world order', on top of the usual 9/11 theories and the like.

Holy insanity Batman!
by SickofLies inapparently people from all over the us are coming and camping along highway i-35 (here), because of a scripture found in isaiah chapter 35, verse 8 -- you will see a passage that in part says, "a highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the highway of holiness.".
i laughed when i saw the things people are praying for.
they prayed that adult businesses along the corridor would "see the light" and perhaps close down.

The Ethics of Eugenics
by SickofLies ingenetic technology has advanced to an unbelievable stage.
what used to be science fiction is now quickly on its way to becoming science fact.
there are fertility clinics that can now diagnose whether your child-to-be has any genetic disorders, allowing you to decide whether or not to abort ahead of time.

Have JW's changed their tactics for talking with atheists?
by SickofLies ini attended a meeting with mash (mcmaster association for secular humanists) the other day where we had an excellent guest speaker, a professor from the university of toronto who founded and runs talkorigins website.
for those that would like to see the lecture titled "evolution a theory and a fact" i will be posting it on-line in the next day or two and will post the link in this thread.. back to my question, after the speech when we took the speaker out for drinks we were all sharing experiences talking about how talkorigins helped us and the issue of jw's came up, people there were telling me that when jw's come to their door now if they state they are an atheists or don't believe in the bible they simply stop the conversation and go away.. is this an official change in tactics for the jw's?
it would be great if it were, i can think of only one reason for not wanting to try and preach to the new atheists out there, that being that people who do are getting persuaded by their arguments and leaving the church.. has anyone else heard anything like this?.

Opinion peice on Athiests
by SickofLies inthere seems to be a lot of hostility on the board toward atheists still and a lot of comments floating around like atheists are to preachy.
well i want to take a quick minute and deal with some of these issues.
to begin with, to make any statement regarding atheists in general would be false for several reasons.

Apostate Presence Rattles World Conference on Religion
by SickofLies ini know many of you probably never saw my post a few days ago inviting everyone to the world religions conference where i was a key note speaker.
i'd like to send a big thank you to kwintestal and mincan for showing and giving their support, surfice to say it made quite an impression that the three people standing up and defending atheism at the event were all ex-witnesses.
the theme for the event was on the topic of morals and modesty.
