Religious belief and the angry God phenomenon has caused chaos, destruction, death, and wars for centuries. The time for evolving into a modern society and classifying these archaic beliefs as a mental disorder has been long overdue.
AMEN TO THAT!

never a jw, but have had bible studies and attended several meetings and even a convention once.
i've always been agnostic with leanings toward the belief in some deity or other, although the more i learned from the jw's, the more i've learned to doubt, not just their teachings, but the fundamental teachings of all religions.
JWs are forbidden from living with worldly people. How can you have a JW 'roommate' when you're not a JW? Are you related to her?
jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.
there is another mode for how he exists.
now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.
If there is a God it's totally aloof, non-communicative, non-intervening. Not the slightest bit of evidence it notices us or cares. And if it is watching us, it has no morality since it does nothing to stop evil and suffering. So it may as well not exist.
God is irrelevant, as Buddhism teaches.

"some may feel that they can interpret the bible on their own.
however, jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only* channel for dispensing spiritual food.
Name one religion that doesn't demand loyalty to its religious leaders. It's just the nature of religion.
In fact, it's the nature of any money making global organisation, secular or religious.
You wanna be a member of some religious nuthouse or employee of some rapacious wealthy corporation, you gotta be loyal and tow the line.

Love this news. Thanks for making my day. The GB make me morally puke.
the whole congregation was required to sign up for this all day program.what are they going to talk about for the full day.
maybe a one hour talk by an elder about "responsible toilet cleaning in this time of the end" with demos as how it can be accomplished.
only sisters seem to need to listen to that one.. maybe cutting grass to the proper height so we don't bring reproach on jehovah's name.
Sounds like BS. A whole day program on KH maintenance? Please get your facts right first.
