  something to make me think or laugh.

  i've done the hitchens, dawkins, harris thing and as much as i rate them i'd like to move off at a tangent .

  always enjoy philosophy or even something with a theological bent.. i'm coming to the end of heretic by ayaan hirsi ali and can thoroughly recommend it.. c'mon guys, don't let me down .

  I agree with Millie. The art of war is a very good book about strategy. Many of the high rollers in the financial world use it's principles.

  Silent And Sweet Rebellion Going On Within JW Organization!

  by lsw1961 in

  2. beliefs

  after 1975, the vast majority remained as though nothing has happened.

  but some left the organization.

  however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..

  It's hard to imagine someone coming on this forum thinking that they could use it as a recruitment tool??

  If the WBTS wanted to save their publishing empire they could learn something from newspapers like this. Its free as well. They make their money off of advertising to keep themselves going.

  The WBTS could do this as well but they would have to publish the truth so I have no worries about that happening.LOL

  1914—The Turning Point in History - Really?

  1914the turning point in history.

  30 from the human standpoint, the world troubles and global wars foretold in the bible were far from the thinking of the pre-1914 world.

  Another hero of mine. Can you imagine the courage it took for her and other members of the white rose to stand up against the religious extremism of their time?

  Having lived my life in the no mans land between the USA and the USSR I can assure everyone that 1914 was no turning point!

  Humans are not wired to want the truth

  that's what i suspect.. perhaps some of us retrained our brains to not surrender to a natural urge to believe the simplest, most drama-laden spins on facts.. examples (at least i think this is the truth!):.

  the clock.

  the son of muslim activists makes a device that, on purpose, looks like a bomb.

  A personal hero of mine. He faced divisions in his own family as well as the disfellowshipping hatred of the KKK.

  Are the horrendous killings in Paris part of a religious practice?

  by clarity in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  islam is a religion of war, not a religion of peace .

  seems there are many religions who do not tolerate other groups.

  this statement "islam is a religion of war, not a religion of peace" reminded me of what was said at a watchtower convention in 2013 ....using a chilling example of how they condone dis fellowshipping & the soul killing practice of shunning!

  Isis will kill anyone who does not do what they want totally.and it makes no difference who that person is.The best thing that we can do as the general public is to go about out daily lives and to stand up for our personal freedoms

  Well said pepperheart! Don't let them scare you!

  We live in the greatest time in all of human history. Further progress will depend on human efforts not supernatural delusions.

  I'm a cynical, sarcastic and curmudgeonly old bastard most of the time.

  but as i move into my early 50's i find i'm more and more comfortable in my thick, leathery hide.. please get it into your thick skull's that i don't insult or make snarky comments with the intent of hurting anyone's feelings.

  that being said, if your precious feelings are hurt it's probably your fault for being a prissy, over sensitive drama queen who can't defend his argument.. i do actually love you all, it's just that most of the time you spineless pussies really get on my nerves!.

  good god i feel better for that!

  I just sent my daughter and her mother off to church. I know it's a cult just as all Christianity is! If it buys me an hour or so of peace I am willing to risk it!

  All it took was a couple of infusions of God particles a few years ago and BABOOM!!

  I disagree totally with the classical definition of insanity.... You know doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

  When I contemplate the workings of the female mind I can't decide weather their waves or particles LOL.

  How can someone be everywhere and nowhere at the same time??

  At this point all I want is grandchildren. I have so much to teach them.

  Anyone want to visit a web site and discuss floral patterns on someones underwear??

  My wife said SEE YA SATAN! as she walked out the door LOL.

  Me and my cat or I should say the cat and I are just going to sit here and ponder the question. Is there any such thing as a stupid question??
