Thanks. These propaganda films are loaded with so much BS that's difficult not to point out immediately. I'm really curious to see what the 2016 year subject will be.
So far we have:
"The Prodigal Returns" - How young adults should act.
"These Words Must Be on Your Heart" - How parents should act.
"What is True Love" - How people dating and getting married should act.

since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..
i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.
i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.
Excellent post. I noticed this in myself a few months after waking up too. It's one thing if you are directly asked about religion and you decide to respond. However, responding to people who didn't ask for your opinion is really no different than the JW who knocks on your door uninvited. Like everything there are exceptions to this. JWs being one of those exceptions.
using the hilarious song 142 i went ahead and created a sitcom intro about life at bethel.
this is what that song was really created for.
i hope watchtower likes my pitch!

there are number of nobel laureates and other great scientists in both the camps defending their respective theories of evolution and creation, which means both are just stories, and both suffer from having no eye-witnesses.
if either of them were true, all scientists would have accepted it unanimously as they do with rest of the laws such as law of gravity..
this does not mean that there is no god.
How do you deal with this?
i am a theist & this is my version of god.. instead of using the term god, i'll use "unseen presence".. this unseen presence, is perfect in every way.
this presence is so perfect it can seem a bit boring.this perfection can be seen in the laws of science, for example gravity.. it does not sometimes work, depending on the mood of some one in the sky, it always works, perfectly.
gravity does not get angry and decide to stop working, and cause the death of innumerable living beings, it just works, through thick or thin, it is reliable.. what allows this unseen presence to remain perfect, is the fact that it does not act based on emotion, or strategy or regret.. it acts based on law, mathematical law.. this unseen presence is not partial to jews or muslims or jw's it is completely impartial at all times, to everything that exists.
my inactive relative, (female) asked in exasperation, "what makes people kill others over religion?
" i responded, "the same thing that makes jw's let children die over the blood doctrine.
religious ignorance and fervor causing the death of others without any compunction?
Exactly.
Letting your kid die because you think god has forbidden blood transfusions is murder/suicide. Jehovah's Witnesses practice human sacrifice whenever they do this to themselves or to their own children. The Jewish God of War is a bloodthirsty deity and the Bible makes no secret of the fact that he does accept human sacrifice. They do it with the same strong faith that these Jihadis have whenever they kill other people or blow themselves up. These people think they are the good guys because their doctrine has them convince that they have divine permission to commit these atrocities.
If you want a normal person to commit hideous atrocities, all it will take is a nice fat dose of religion. When people begin believing that they are permitted certain things because they have divine backing, logic goes right out the window.
why does everyone just turn a blind eye to the false teachings of the watchtower?
the bible warns us many times and in many ways not to follow false prophets - including the lake of fire.
fundamentally why do the followers of the watchtower just ignore the very bible they claim to live by?.
i am sure that it has been discussed before.
but just out of curiosity, what is the orgs view on extraterrestrial life?
the org certainly agrees that the universe is infinitely large.
I would ask this a lot back when I was in. The response I got was along the lines of "Yes there is life elsewhere in the universe. We must remember that Jehovah created other spiritual beings before us!"
Pretty much deflect the question and answer with a strawman like they do with EVERYTHING else that they have no real answer for. Sometimes I would hear the real nutty ones talk about Satan appearing before humanity as UFOs and that if there are aliens, it must obviously be Satan and his demons.
