Greg Bear is good as is Arthur C Clark, Douglas Adams, Sergey Lukyanenko (he did the Watch series which Nightwatch was based on although that is more fantasy than sci fi but a great read)
Carl Sagan is another good read

"If 1000 years is as one day" (another "ug" fwd email)
by inkling inif 1000 years is as one day someone did the math of the 1000 years = one day equation (2 peter 3:8).. .
this is interesting: since a thousand years are in the eyes of jehovah as one day, we can look at history from jehovah's point of view like this:.
adam was created six days ago and jehovah made immediate plans to restore what he had lost for his offspring.. .

DON'T GIVE UP... WE ARE SO CLOSE
If i was a believing idiot erm I mean JW this would actually depress me further, suppose God gets stuck on the phone or has to resolve a tiff between Gabriel and Michael that half an hour equates to a lot of time. The promised paradise would pass me by, I'd be dead! Damn

Memorial 2008 Protest - will you join me?
by besty inthere's been a few threads about how to campaign against the wts - various suggestions including appointing a charismatic leader, (do they get appointed?
i thought they just kind of appeared, self-appointed), printing a brochure(ok we're in the 21st century lets make it a blog, cheaper and easier to distribute), calling the bethel and boycotting a meeting.
which all got me to thinking, what can i do, and what if everybody else (or a lot) could do the same?

What would be funny would be to stand up when the glass was passed to you, face the congregation, down the glass and make a toast to Satan. Yes I know very childish but it would be worth it to see the faces

Wow, the year is 2008, and still no Armageddon!
by Nosferatu inevery time we enter a new year, i think about how i wasn't supposed to make it this long.
i really believed we wouldn't live past the year 2000, and armageddon would change everything.
it almost strikes me as living on borrowed time, but then i remember that armageddon is a story, not a reality.

Those arrogant bastards in NY need to be held accountable, just like the Nazis.
I know where you are coming from but there is a slight difference between the wtbts and the nazi's well namely a few million deaths. People will only ever be free from them when they learn to let it go. They have had so many years of peoples lives I find it sad that in some cases years after they left the JW's still hold a huge mental grip on people

Aren't we all responsible for the success of the Watchtower Society?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inraymond franz was a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses from 1971 until may 22, 1980, and served at the organization's world headquarters for fifteen years, from 1965 until 1980. franz wrote and edited two detailed books which relate his personal experiences with the watch tower bible and tract society and fellow members of the jehovah's witness organization.. .
after reading ray franz's books,i held him and his fellow members responsible for all the false teachings.
i also wasn't forgiving any of them even if they found out that it wasn't the ''truth'' and left the organization.now i changed my mind.

Multi-tasking? Is it a skill or a disorder?
by Crumpet indo you tend to multi-task or hone in one job, giving it your full concentration until its finished?.
would you say your ability/inability to multi-task is an attribute or a curse?.
the reason i ask is that i seem to have a very short attention span.
