  Just curious--how many Dubs/ex-Dubs have come to JWD in the last year?

  i have the sense that we are seeing a lot more open dissent on jwd with dubs who are still in the borg or fading.. what do you guys think?.

  how many have recently left or are in the process of leaving as a result of jwd or other related sites that expose the borg?.

  what was the final straw that did it?.

  The Chautauqua Institute is a "must experience" for you seekers....

  hey all,.

  several years ago, when i was in one of my really "sour on religion" phases, some of my post-borg new friends introduced me to the chautauqua institute, near jamestown n.y.. this is one of the coolest places on the planet.

  the institute was started by some methodist ministers in the 1800s as a forum for dialogue between religion, hard science, and the social sciences.

  I used to cut the Borg some slack...but 10 years out?...The BASTARDS!!!!

  by Alpaca in

  i've been out for 10 1/2 years.. in the early days, after my departure, i was just glad to be out and going back to school.

  i felt sorry for those who were still in living a life of delusion and failed/false dreams....and, in fact, i still do feel sorry for the r&f dubbies.

  i used to even cut the borg's leadership some slack, thinking to myself that they were just caught up in their own delusions.. but, the longer i've been on jwd the madder i get at the borg leadership's outright deception, lies, coverups, and self-aggrandizing behavior.

  WTF.... JW Official Website...1914 glossed over...GT in 1975 NOTHING!!!!!!!

  by Alpaca in

  wtf.

  i nosed around on the jw official website for over an hour just to see how they were handling some of the dates that are/were central to their understanding of bible chronology.. there was absolutely no significant connection made between 1914 and our current time period being the purported last days.. and, even if they did shoot themselves in foot with the 1975 debacle, presumably the 6,000 year anniversary of adam's creation, which would have been marked in 1975, would still be a significant date in the witness timeline that would help to bracket the last days.. the jw website's internal search mechanism brought up articles mentioning 1975 only in the context of general interest articles about animals, current events, and other "fluff" articles.. the lying bastards have completely buried anything and everything that would incur culpability.. without 1914 and the generation that "would not pass away," they are citing evidence for the last days that is so flimsy, i don't see how they can sustain any significant growth or keep young ones from bolting once they are old enough.

  their "solid" evidence is the same old recycled crap about wars, earthquakes, famines, selfish people....yatta, yatta, yatta... that could apply to any time in history.. i hope we are seeing the beginning of the end for the borg.

  .....in ohio started yesterday and isn't supposed to stop until tomorrow morning.

  when i see this kind of weather it makes me think of the absurd policy of the borg that the sisters must always dress in a skirt for field service.

  can you imagine having snow blowing up your skirt at 40 mph????.

  Musings about geology, "deep" time, and humans

  by Alpaca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the most humbling things a person can do is to stand at the base of a tall (hundreds of feet) outcrop of fossil bearing sedimentary rocks, wiggle out a piece of rock, and look at the fossils...knowing that they have not seen the light of day in 350 million years (give or take a few million, lol).

  ordinary concepts of time disappear with these kinds of numbers, hence geologists resort to the term "deep time.

  " when you take the mental step back to try and grasp "deep time" it makes you realize how puny and insignificant the human species is.

  Pathetic Speakers

  this is great.

  i was suffering through an interminably long sunday p.m. public talk (we flip-flopped w/ the other cong--at least sunday a.m. was a little more tolerable because there was still some of the day left to do something).

  the speaker was talking about "physical training being beneficial for a little" and how some exercise was necessary.
