People have a natural resistance to bullshit, unless they conciously override it, or suffer some sort of trauma that makes them more inclined to join such a cult, or have some sort of mental problem.
People don't listen to me at the door. They don't even know I'm there, cuz I only fake like I'm ringing thier doorbell.
And I always pass off the door if I can feel someone in there.

What would you say is the main reason why people didn't listen to us?
by JH inwhen i started going out door to door, i was sure i'd bring a couple of people with me to the org.
i knew my parents believed in god and the bible, so i was sure i'd be able to convince them with a few simple verses that we had the truth.
but no, they didn't seem convinced enough to want to study.

why can the big bang now be excepted by dubs
by looseend ingrowing up i was always told, (like most of you) that evolution was crap.
my dads friend was visiting (who is an elder) and was talking to my dad (who is still a dub) about how the universe could have fit in the palm of his hand at one point in time.
this elder was talking about the big bang theory and how god put it in place.

My uncle does a similar thing.
If something doesn't quite make sense, he adds his own little thing to it so it's irrefutable.
Apparently, the Egyptian Pyramids were build around mountains, because you can't make a pyramid without something to hold it up.
And there are two trees in the garden that were bad (I may be wrong...but I always thought there was one), the tree of the knowledge of good and bad and the tree of right and wrong (or something like that) .
Of course, those metal jets are held up by magic or something...He still can't understand the concept of flight "But it's made of METAL!" -

Isaiah 11:6-9
by return visitor inhave you noticed that the wts in their publications literally interpret this schripture, isaiah 11:6-9 .
6 and the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them.
7 and the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down.

but wouldn't that require the maned young lion to evolve. I mean, in order to not eat meat wouldn't it need to have more stomachs like a cow to digest the grassed it would then have to eat. And if preditors did not eat prey wouldn't prey over populate the Earth.
<br><br><br>Yes and yes.
<br><br>But they want a happy picture for the new system. Because if Lions continued to eat meat, humans would be on thier diet. So by throwing out all common sense, they've made things better with thier 'flawless logic and teachings' once again. -

i saw the forecast change 3 times in one day... yet i still keep tuning in.
my wife ( who was never a witness ) said "just keep watching, maybe the light will get brighter!

Two lesbians say "I do"
by writerpen ini'm always coming back to this site to read everyone's post and only start a thread when i really feel the need.
only you guys would understand the irony of what happened yesterday.

You and I have something in common: We both like lesbians.
Jokes aside, good luck with your partner.
And that irony is truly appreciated. Jehovah messed up on that one, apparently. Another tract gone to waste... -

If you could "intelligently design" yourself, what would you change?
by AlmostAtheist inif you could "intelligently design" yourself, what would you change?.
you're welcome to start from the ground up, if you like.
or just suggest changes to the existing platform.

A more effective immune system. Like that of a horseshoe crab. Any foreign substance is imediatlely attacked and killed.
Faster healing times. Not like seconds, but days instead of weeks.
Brains that don't break. I'm astounded at how weak the brain can be sometimes. And yet, I'm astounded at how some people can maintain thier sanity at other times. Maybe something like an unbiased self-analyzing center in the brain. It constantly checks for abnormalities in mental functions, and corrects it.
Higher capacity lungs.
Stronger bones.
The ability to implement scientific finds instead of sitting there with them and not getting anything acomplished. It goes hand in hand with people realising that money is worthless in it's current form. Gold is just a mineral, and is poor representation of actual work done to be paid with money. -

Anyone else do this in the morning?
by free2beme ini get up each morning and turn on the news, right as i get out of bed.
not because i want some news to start the day, but rather this is often been a major moment in my life.
i remember turning it on one morning and hearing about the first trade tower bombing, turning it on and hearing about the oklahoma city bombing, turning it on and seeing the trade towers burning (well, one of them, i watched the second plane hit live).

I'm all the time angry at religion. I never truly belived in it. I detested going out in service, and thought it was a waste of a perfectly good saturday. So I'm not mad at finding out its a lie.
But I think I'm angry at my present situation. Being repressed and such. I get really angry at odd times for no reason, like my mind is breaking (prolly true ;) ) .
