Of all the character traits the bible attributes to God : love, hathred, vindictiveness etc never ever is their any mention of humor. None. Eventhough we supposedly were created in his image. The same is true for jesus: he cries, get mad, has pity etc but never laughs. Weird.
I actually do not believe in a God, but if there were one:
Yeah he sure would laugh his arse off at the sheer sillyness on earth. But would he not be tremendously sad by all the horrors commited by one human against another. Nothing to laugh at really. IF he is a loving God, not the one from the bible, He actually enjoys suffering.
*it rains, so I am pissed. Could color my post a bit*

Drowning is fortunately a painless death, and relatively quick.
What a horrible and painfully incorrect remark!
Drowning is painfull and can take hours. Seriously, if I had to pick my death, drowning would be somewhere at the bottom of the list.

Does anyone miss those tuneful 'kingdom melodies' ?
by frankie inis there anyone out there who cannot bear those appalling kingdom melodies we had to sing ?
i never liked them one bit, did you ?
so wonderful to hear proper hymns (not that i'm a churchgoer) but at least they have some fantastic music.

Frankie!
Welcome aboard! those songs were dreadful indeed, there was only one i liked a bit had somewhat of a battlesong...can't remeber really.
Viv: my pioneer friend insisted of practising the songs before the meeting!
The horror! You know, on one of the bookstudies I went too, some bozo suggested we should practice singing after a special needs talk. so we sang not only on regular meetings but also on the bookstudy often without the music! Because this obviously sounded horrible, we added music later on. I never participated with this because it was incredible silly and not obligatory. I had trouble to keep from laughing, resulting in stomach ache more then one time.LOL!

Jobs you weren't aloud to have
by JH inwhat job or career would you have loved to do, but being a jw, you weren't aloud to do that?
and how about the college or university course you couldn't get because the end was too close.
did you miss good job opportunities because of the watchtowers expectations?

99%
by Jayson inwhen a person makes the choice to believe that they have the only "truth" about the unknowable they dismiss all religions and faiths save one.

I didn't dismiss all right away after I saw thru the JW religion...It went like this:
JW (1)--> independant Christian (2)--> Deist (3)--> Agnostic (4)--> Atheist
Step one: Research into JW religion
Step two: Research into Bible errancy vs inerrancy
Step three&four: Research into Logic, Science and Evolution.
Step one through four took me about two years.
Happy? You bet!

Insider reviews of WT publications allowed?
by BornFree inok so i've never been a jw, so i don't have insider experience with this, so let me know what you think.... an aquaintance of mine is an ms in his local congregation, and he recently told me about a "review" that he did of a newly published wt brochure (i don't recall exactly which brochure it was as there are so many stinking borchures...and who cares anyway).
i asked him what the purpose was of "reviewing" the thing, and he told me that the wt always asks for input on their new material.
so he read the brochure, i.e.

What do you think about the Devil?
by Mandybp inwhat would be the best way of explaining to my 17 yr old witness son (who lives the other side of the world to me) about the devil?
i'm still a bit scared of it myself i must say, what are your thoughts on the devil?
do you think he exists or not?

If we were to believe the bible then only God ever wrote an autobiography, telling of His great deeds and puny enemies. His great adversary, Satan did not write a book about himself and how he should be worshipped...So maybe he is modest?
Well at best we have only an one-sided story written by his enemies, so how trustworthy is that?

by Vivamus ingawd, do i need some coffee!
my head is swimming with dizzyness of ... dunno what, i've slept a normal amount of time, dunno why i'm so tired [8.43am here] ..... coffee, coffee, coffee .... ohhh, what i wouldn't give for a tall cappucino [how the heck do you spell that] from starbucks.

Coffee freak here too! Provides an excellent kick-start of the day, eventhough I drink it anytime of the day. Yep, true caffeine addiction.
I think my trip to the bathroom and the grave desire for a ciggie spoils it for my partners....
Plural! Hmmm....

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS' TEACHINGS & PAUL'S
by Mary inhas anyone noticed that alot of paul's ideas that are part of the scriptures contrast directly with jesus'??
paul said about fornicators, idolaters, etc.
that they should be booted out of the congregation and should be "treated as a person of the nation, or a tax collector" and that no one should "even say a greeting to him.

No one: But to the others I say, yes, I, not the Lord: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and yet she is agreeable to dwelling with him, let him not leave her:... A wife is bound during all the time her husband is alive. But if after her husband should fall asleep [in death], she is free to be married to whom she wants, only in [the] Lord. But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my opinion. I certainly think I have God's spirit." 1Cor. 7:12, 39-40
This text proved to me that the bible is not inspired. Because if paul was inspired saying that he was saying this or that and not the lord he would have been lying, and since according to the bible God cannot lie this is impossible under inspiration. The claim that the entire bible is inspired creates some sort of liar's paradox from this text.
