i get a chuckle when i watch that show on tuesday nights as it portrays what would happen the the world, if people should all dissapear.
since jw's are only 2/10% of the world's population and almost zero% in many countries the infrastructure would rapidly decay.

a semi-serious request.. i hate exercise (yes i am an indolent slob), i sit in an office or a car most of the time and eat and drink too much.
so my new year's resolution is to lose weight (about 3 stone would be good) to try and prolong my life a little since i ain't got eternity in mind anymore.
i am looking for fun ways to get fit, or an effective home based diet programme that has worked for other people.
You can start by taking a vigorous walk once a day, get to know your neighborhood a bit more
or walk to the grocery store to pick up something light.
Take a bike for a spin to a place of interest, pretend your new to the area and go explore.
Thats a good start once you've toned up your lower body perhaps join a gym
or visit your local public athletic facilities.
why do you call it "the truth"?
even after you leave??.
it's wrong on so many levels.
Good analogy Terry, far too many people have climbed aboard the Watchtower Corporate plane to fly off to paradise only to
self destruct on-board at the hands of the pilots, namely the GB and the other past presidents.
"The Truth" terminology exemplifies the strong vivid indoctrination that people go through by the WTS.
and is just another of the vast wording used to control the members thinking.
Now why would anybody leave or not want the truth, how illogical !
1.we use a name to distinguish one entity from another to avoid confusion.. 2.if there is only one of something it is one of a kind.
elivis is elvis and those who pretend to be him are impersonators.
those who pretend to be jesus are false or pseudo-christs.
So many individuals cutting a slice out the God pie for themselves for self empowerment and edification.
The early Israelites should have copyrighted their God.
how does he keep up with his hairstyle daily?
shampoo?
( alots of hair in between!
Did you see that movie titled All About Mary,
there's you answer.
There is alot a free time up in those executive offices.
ok so i'm really trying to figure out what i believe about the bible, god, religion, etc... where do you research or find something to study that isn't tainted with someone else's beliefs or opinions?
this might be a dumb question, but i seriously don't even know where to start.. .
thanks,.
A well written objective statement Terry, I hope everyone has a chance to read it.
Food for thought for JW faders and JWS alike.
i thought the fade was speeding up and there was light on the horizon for me and my family.
then yesterday my wife gets love-bombed and is ready to go back to the dubs.
i'm angry, cynical, depressed, disillusioned, you name it.. i don't know what to do for her.
This is reason why I think its harder for woman to pull away from this cult,
love bombing works well on their emotionally charged thinking, setting critical thinking skills on the back burner.
Mind you love bombing can work just as well on men but then tend to be more analytical.
Now is the time to pull up your socks Mad Sweeney and take a stand against corruption.
Show some personal and intellectual integrity.

there is a huge difference between an opinion and a false teaching.. what if it could be unambiguously demonstrated that a teaching is not merely opinion but a false religious view passed off as absolute truth in the name of a higher authority?.
would that not be fraud?
The only known evidence of theism in human history that has ever appeared, is human ignorance itself of the world of which we live in,
with the imaginative desire to channel this spiritual deity down to select individuals.
The WTS. themselves say they are tuned in to the correct channel to receive this divine spirituality.
I say they aren't tuned in on the right channel at all, but they're cashing in irregardless $ .

"The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing - is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice."
Intellectual honesty withholds the acceptance of the unknown and the yet to be discovered, that in itself is a moral truth.
Are you in the truth Perry ?

C T Russell sold himself to the public as a divinely inspired messenger of bible truths and knowledge.
In reality he was inspired by his own publishing company and self propagating religious ideologies.
A religious charlatan of his proper time.
Is there any difference from the WTS. today ?
None whatsoever .
The religious publishing company has just changed hands over and over again and nothing that it has ever said came true.
