The age of consent is arbitrary, like the drinking and voting age.

LA Times: Many researchers taking a different view of pedophilia
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://articles.latimes.com/2013/jan/14/local/la-me-pedophiles-20130115/2.
many researchers taking a different view of pedophiliapedophilia once was thought to stem from psychological influences early in life.
now, many experts view it as a deep-rooted predisposition that does not change.january 14, 2013|by alan zarembo, los angeles timesas a young boy, paul christiano loved the world of girls the way they danced, how their spindly bodies tumbled in gymnastics.

My parody version has the schlocky music gone and the soundtrack is her prayers.
"Jehovah, please find daddy a job so we can have food again."
"Please slaughter my schoolmates who are not nice to me."
"Please make elder McFeely stop touching me in the back room on Wednesday nights."

Video of a Dolphin being rescued by a Scuba Diver! Beautiful footage!
by ohiocowboy inbelow is a video of a dolphin being rescued by a scuba diver in hawaii during a night time manta ray feeding excursion.
the dolphin has a big hook in him and is twisted in fishing line, which is cutting into it's flesh and limiting it's range of motion.
watch the dolphin go to the diver, and "ask" for help.

Republican Party is pretty much done!
by free2beme inafter leaving the jehovah's witnesses, i started getting in to politics.
i naturally found myself going republican and voted a long those lines.
however, with my more pagan nature and being pretty much against christianity.

Republicans market themselves as an alternative to reckless democratic tax and spend policies.
The reality: They borrow and spend recklessly, and on top of that they chase around hounding people about their personal lives and cater to the religious extremists. It's simply not worth it. FAIL!

Do you have friends/family still in the organization waiting for a big "cleansing" to occur?
by Pyramid Scheme ini have had some great conversations with friends and family lately who are still in the organization.. when i explain my feelings and beliefs, and discuss a number of the scandals surrouding the wt, they agree with me 100% - even expressing some things i didn't expect them to say as far as doctrine and teachings.
in other words, they can see the obvious problems and want them to change.
all of them little trust in the leadership, and have expressed disgust with several elders in the congregations they attend.

Should a Catholic stay in the church, waiting for God to cleanse the organization? If not, why should anyone else do the same?

Should Jehovah's Witnesses be added to the Wikipedia article on Doomsday Cults?
by jwfacts inthere is discussion of doomsday cults at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/doomsday_cult, and much of it aligns closely with watchtower predictions and behaviour, so i was wondering why jehovah's witnesses are not mentioned.
here are some quotes from the article:.
doomsday cult is an expression used to describe groups who believe in apocalypticism and millenarianism, and can refer both to groups that prophesy catastrophe and destruction, and to those that attempt to bring it about.

Yep, got it.
Leolaia, I would bet you had to make a composite to get the Jovian moons without an overexposed Earth moon. Great job.

QR codes: a way to stop APOSTATES !!!
by raymond frantz ininteresting meeting today.the do had the last talk and he mentioned a couple of things i have not heard before :.
1) the new lighter magazines are designed in a way to attract people to our website .
2)the ministry will change to incoprorate preacing in town centres and and with stands as in manhattan and certain brothers will be allocated to do this .so it is done now in a big scale ,organised.. 3)the qr codes at the back of the magazines are there for smart phone users to guide them directly to jw.org ,unlike bad old internet via laptops and pc's that you have to look for the website on google and sometimes end up in enemy websites that look like our website but are spreading lies about jw's (he said exactly that!

I dont know guys. They certainly were not real JW's. For all the faults, I think any JW would be as sickened by this as we are. It also doesn't pass the smell test with the phrase below. I am pretty sure JW's were thrown into this one without deserving it.
"Mother explained to me that every woman killed or raped by me would become my wives in the afterlife."
That is actually mild compared to sacrificing one's own children to gain favor and acceptance with the cult. Entirely plausible to kill and rape when your mind is that corrupted by an evil religion.
