Jehovah's Witnesses 'governors' have been playing the game of 'follow the non-leader' with their congregants since the time of Pastor Russell. Still marching in circles, still getting nowhere.

Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution
by dubstepped inso i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.
i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

Favourite New Film
by jhine inl recently went to watch green book , which l thought was excellent , it had everything , it took me though the whole range of emotions , from anger to joy , laughing then wanting to cry .
the quiet dignity of dr shirley mixed with volatile nature of tony lipp and seeing their emerging friendship was wonderful .
what really shook me was that these attitudes existed in my lifetime , not that long ago .

This is what a 'collage' of Black men looks like. Actually, I enjoyed GREEN BOOK immensely.

Here's a father and son project that you could work on together. Maybe your son would get so engrossed in building this with you that he wouldn't have time to go to meetings or out in the field ministry anymore. Stealth fading while obeying the rules and regulations of the Governing Body!

Something to think about:
"How a Christian puts his money to work is for him to decide personally, just as how he works for a living is for him to decide. There is nothing contrary to Scriptural principles for him to let his money help him earn a livelihood. If he invests in stocks, no one should criticize him. He should, of course, be discreet about what stocks or bonds he buys. When he knows that a corporation is devoted entirely to manufacturing merchandise that is used for a morally wrong purpose, it would be improper for him to violate his conscience by investing in the stock of that company." - AWAKE! February 8, 1962 pg. 23
If it is wrong for an individual Christian to purchase stock in a company that is involved in questionable practices and accept the dividends and profits therefrom, would it not be equally wrong to accept said dividends and profits from the stocks if they were gifted to a religious corporation in the form of a trust?

Is Russia "right" about presecuting Jehovah's Witnesses?
by iliketreasure injehovah's witnesses are presecuted in russia.
on par with the is and other terroristic groups.
it happened when the anti-extremism laws were extended to non-violent groups.. i don't believe that russia actually cares for the well-being of their citizens with this move and probably merely a law to stop other political forces (and the jws are one in a way, since their gather authority over large groups of people and also have their own political and judicial institutiona), but are they right about it anyway?.

No religion, including Jehovah's Witnesses, deserves to be banned by any government. Freedom of speech, even speech we don't like or approve of should be guarded at all costs. Period. End of discussion. They have the freedom to publish all the bullshit that they want and we have the freedom to counter it without fear of reprisal or censorship.
Thank you Giordano for the link to that article. Most people do not realize that Kirill the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and Putin have a history together. Putin believes that Kirill's father baptized his mother and himself when he was a baby. Kirill has Putin's ear and influences him accordingly. Orthodoxy is part of Russian social identity and Putin and Kirill will brook no religious competition in their efforts to unite the hearts and minds of the Russian people. There is now a Ukrainian branch of the Orthodox church has decided to break away from the 'mother' church and that has Putin and Kirill pissed.

Is it a coincidence that this image of "Peaceable Kingdom" from the Photo Drama has pyramids in the background or is it shameless self promotion for Pastor Russell's Pyramidology beliefs?
