  In light of the teddy bear named Muhammad.....

  regarding the teddy bear named muhammad by a class in a prestigious private school in sudan and the ensuing controversy, which is a prime example of religious fundamentalism (or religious extremism if you prefer) gone awry, i thought i'd incite some conflict in good 'ol usa..... jehovah is a self-centered tyrantjesus is a wine-loving homeless hippieallah is jehovah's alter-egomoses is warlockjoseph smith is a pedophilebuddah is a pregnant hermaphroditethe governing body of jehovah's witnesses are brainless, racist and closeted homosexual alcoholicsthere, that feels better.. best,.

  Apostate of the Month planning thread.

  okeydokey, i started communicating with one of the moderators about this, and i haven't heard back yet, but it doesn't seem like there should be an issue if we are nice about this whole thing, maybe it can be fun.. first off, if no one wants to do it, no point.. <deleted by wlg>.

  third, the idea is not to raise someone up on a pedestal, but to recognize personal progress and/or the help given to other people, even if it's just creating a pleasant environment.

  Golden Compass Movie, to be avoided?

  by cab1000 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a chance to be with a group of jw's yesterday.

  my wife thinks she overheard a couple of them talking about an announcement from the platform about avoiding the "golden compass" movie coming out.

  i know that other religious groups have spoken out against this film, but i would not have expected the witnesses to announce that formally.

  Islam Diss'ed Again....

  by chappy in

  seems a 54 year old british school teacher who is teaching grammer school classes in the sudan has committed a despicable act by blastpheming and showing no respect for the prophet!

  can you believe it; she actually allowed the children in her class to name a teddy bear being used in a class project muhammad!!

  the sudanise government, carrying out its god given duty is putting her on trial.

  Would Bigfoot Stomp Creationism?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i suppose that any fact can be denied ( there's a hilarious scene in woody allen's "everything you ever wanted to know about sex".

  in which a husband is oblivious to his wife's observation of his adultery).

  however, i do wonder if they ever found a "bigfoot" body, would it.

  Have JW's changed their tactics for talking with atheists?

  by SickofLies in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i attended a meeting with mash (mcmaster association for secular humanists) the other day where we had an excellent guest speaker, a professor from the university of toronto who founded and runs talkorigins website.

  for those that would like to see the lecture titled "evolution a theory and a fact" i will be posting it on-line in the next day or two and will post the link in this thread.. back to my question, after the speech when we took the speaker out for drinks we were all sharing experiences talking about how talkorigins helped us and the issue of jw's came up, people there were telling me that when jw's come to their door now if they state they are an atheists or don't believe in the bible they simply stop the conversation and go away.. is this an official change in tactics for the jw's?

  it would be great if it were, i can think of only one reason for not wanting to try and preach to the new atheists out there, that being that people who do are getting persuaded by their arguments and leaving the church.. has anyone else heard anything like this?.
