  Witnesses and Marines

  by Grunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  things about the jehovah's witnesses that remind me of the marine corps.

  1. both demand conformity in hair cuts, dress and attitudes, failure to conform will bring disciplinary action and forestall.

  2. both try and isolate you from the world, though only for three months at parris island, a lifetime with the witnesses.. .

  Outstanding break down. I personally hadn't thought much of the likenesses beyond the indoctrination aspect. Though I ceased thinking of myself as an 'ex-jw' a couple of years ago, once a Marine......

  Article: The Atheist's Dilemma

  campos: the atheist's dilemmaby paul camposwhy is stanley fish so much smarter than richard dawkins?

  that question occurred to me last week, while attending a lecture at which fish, the well-known literary and legal theorist, did the thing he always does, which is to make the following point over and over again:.

  "no believer will find his faith shaken by evidence that is evidence only in the light of assumptions he does not share and considers flatly wrong.".

  Does anyone else thoroughly enjoy reading the first few posts in a thread and then skipping to the last few? The evolution of any given thread never ceases to amaze me, nor does the wealth of varied knowledge and experience that the members here bring to the table. I've been offline for a few months and trying to catch up with the different debate topics is almost as fun as searching a used bookstore for an overlooked treasure.

  State A Simple Opinion About JWD Members

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we share a common past but have travelled many different roads to find each other here.

  our outlooks and perceptions of reality are varied and often fascinating.

  most of us are encouraging, funny, helpful and kind while others are still wrapped in bitterness and hatred or suffering from despair and privation.
