I think it's great. I love Chinese culture and values and philosophy (Confucianist not communist) and think the more the west absorbs the east, the better!

The changing world - The Chinese in the west.
by fulltimestudent ini was hosing the garden at the front of our apartments earlier this morning, and this large gang (20-30 people) of elderly chinese went past, picking up rubbish in the street.
it suddenly clicked that this was 'clean-up australia' day.
what interested me was the involvement of this group of elderly chinese, and i assume that this is likely happening across sydney in all the many suburbs that have become 'chinese' in the last 35 years.

Evolution is a Fact #27 - Monkeys, Typewriters, Shakespeare, 747s etc.
by cofty inmost creationist arguments can be summarised as "complexity, complexity, complexity - therefore god".
we have all heard the illustrations about the odds of (insert favourite example) evolving, being less than 10,000 monkeys typing macbeth by pure chance.
evolution is not like that.

Fact diatribe no 27 from the sites militant atheist???
This is getting obnoxiously ridiculous.
Evolutionists always make analogies to evolution being so blindingly obvious that to deny otherwise is like saying the earth is not round, but how blindingly obvious is it when it takes months of dozens of convoluted explanations to explain your so-called 'fact'?
Why don't you go write a book then get a life. Or better still, create a blog instead of this endless self indulgent intellectual wank-fest on this forum you're living for.
Yawn.

Stupid Watchtower.
by Darkknight757 infebruary 8-14 asstower is titled " a living translation of god's word.
note paragraph 4:.
“4 despite the clear evidence that the personal name of god belongs in the bible, many translations completely omit the sacred name of god.

the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom He had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.
That's basically why Paul never described the God he was trying to distinguish from all the others as YHWH at the Aeropagus, in Acts 17. It would've meant nothing to all those non-Hebrew speakers and so would've been entirely inappropriate. God was the universal father of all and referring to him by his old covenant Hebrew title was no longer appropriate.

Jehovah's Witnesses 'ordered destruction' of notes which could have been used during child sexual abuse inquiry

Notice they say "..faces expulsion...", not "..will be expelled". The paedo expresses some remorse and he is only reproved and is still free to go door to door. And no one gets to know. Truly sick.

I loved it! Most people will disagree, but frankly I commend his outrageous 'in your face' courage. Sometimes people need something shocking like this to get them thinking and snap them out of their brainwashed slumber. Everything he said was perfectly true, he's not a nutjob at all. I don't think this was counter-productive at all, rather he would have sewn many seeds of doubt, especially mentioning the BBC doco. And with so many little children hurt and abused, damaged, by the Watchtowers wicked child abuse policy, more of this kind of in your face, shocking public shaming is needed.

There's lots of recent articles on his website. Every few days there's something new. Can't post scandalous inside 'leaks ' all the time.
I'm surprised there is no article discussing the latest world wide report though.

On the contrary, Village Idiot. To be fair, JWs care so much about their religion they'd rather die than fight (in nazi concentration camps, etc). -

Even the Overlapping Generations isn't an original concept
by paradisebeauty into my surprise, i found this: .
the overlapping generations model is an economic model .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/overlapping_generations_model.
if those people from wt are inspired, why can't they at least come up with something original .....

Excuse me, but Jesus said 'this generation', SINGULAR! Not generations, plural.
And since when did Jesus' words so long ago in the ancient past have anything to do with abstruse economic modelling theories two millennia later?

The Irrational Psychopath Landlord
by The Marvster inwell after a few years of lots thinking, questioning everything, and deconstructing of jw logic, i keep coming up against some problems.
though i probably consider myself an agnostic nowadays, one of the conclusions i keep coming back to is, if there is a god, looking at the way nature is structured, for example the predator-prey system that is indispensible to the survival of organisms, he is unlikely to be the same loving guy that's described in the bible (could he not have come up with a more compassionate system of survival in his limitless intelligence).
then again sometimes the actions described in the bible make him look like the description in the title of this thread... jw's definitely didn't help much with their logic.

And thus the undeniable conclusion is that the ancient desert dwelling God invented in the scary stories of ancient Jewish priestcraft...is simply a fiction, an ancient pious literary fraud to induce submission and obedience of ignorant, unscientific, illiterate Hebrew tribes of an age long gone..and to keep those tasty meat sacrifices coming in to a non-working clergy class.
No different today. Scary stories of amoral, vengeful deities will always have mass scare appeal for the superstitious and weak-minded...and keep the donations rolling in.
