It's a place filled with hipsters, tight jeans and yoga pants!

Has anyone out here read Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason"?
by Captain Schmideo2 ini wish i had read this back when i was 18. it's an amazing take down of religious beliefs, the bible, and religion in general.
) a "reason"-able manner.take this quote, from near the beginning:.
when also i am told that a woman, called the virgin mary, said, or gave out, that she was with child without any cohabitation with a man, and that her betrothed husband, joseph, said that an angel told him so, i have a right to believe them or not: such a circumstance required a much stronger evidence than their bare word for it: but we have not even this; for neither joseph nor mary wrote any such matter themselves.

Cracking up at the RV responses. guess I was a cong secretary for too long. but my acronym knowledge is now totally out of date. I'd probably say something totally stupid like PO.

I have no particular aim. just remember years of showing up at doors - I don't agree with them, but can't help but feel bad for them.
And if I was worried about the 2 elders thing, I wouldn't put out political yard signs, Jack o lanterns and Christmas lights. I decided that I don't buy their bs and I don't care about their little control game.

So it looks like now I'm a return visit. I don't have it in me to be mean to the J dubs when they drop by so I chat with them.
On Thanksgiving morning one of them dropped by (my wife previously asked them to stop coming by). Our conversation went something like this:
Him: have you ever thought about coming back
Me: no I'm in a very different place now. the teaching of a great tribulation where 90% of the population dies sounds like mass genocide, not a new system!
Him: but the jws are based on the bible
Me: well not really. it's more of a theology that was built over 40-60 years that they cherry picked scriptures where needed to support the theology. most of jw teachings require major mental gymnastics to extrapolate from the Bible
Him: but what is your hope for the future (this is always the go to argument when you stymie them.)
Me: that's the magic. there is no promise of another life after this one. you have to do the best you can with this one.
I also told him how unchristain the disfellowshipping system is.
He seemed happy I was willing to talk.
Think he'll come back for more??
