driving back from dallas to tucson i listened to in on my ipod.
unabridged version.. what surprised me is how sentimental dawkins is.
once or twice he made me tear up.
I agree you canny Scottish person, I also began to suspect Dawkins of not being so sure of his position (intellectual) when he had to resort to that kind of insult.
It was on the same level as an active Dub who said tome,offering no proof,thet Evolution was "so stupid" I know that a lot of Creationist stuff is stupid,but the argument should be fought on the facts,not with ad hominem attacks.
I have only had time to speed read some of "God Del." but noticed several problems with his argumentation,I must find time to read it properly,it looked damned interesting.

the link came with this message:.
think we are close to the end?
Of course one would need information as accurate as todays going back centuries to do a real comparison,but should not a huge spike of increased Quake activity have occured around 1914 according to Dubs? Pretty flat around then according to their own graph,and anyway doesn't Jesus say wars e'quakes etc "But the End is not yet" ?

i've come to realize that i "trust" very very few people.
i trust my mother, daughter and a very close friend but not much more than that.. what about you?.
I trust my lovely Wife,she has stood by me through all sorts of trials ,and good times for over thirty-eight years and has never let me down in any way.She is still with me even though she does not understand why we have left JW's,she is just wonderfull.
I wish I was worthy of her,I am not,but I trust her completely.
No one else though,apart from Jesus Christ,he will never forsake me.

i just said this to a friend, and then i stopped to think about it.
i choose to believe.
that implies that i know there are many other ideas and beliefs that might be right also or right instead of what i choose to believe.
It is all a quandary, but isn't it wonderfull to feel the freedom to believe whatever we want for however long we want?
I now call myself a "Scientific Christian" in the sense that I have theories as to what is and what isn't but I am willing to change those theories when new evidence presents itself,even if that evidence is the reasonings of posters on JWN,and not what some would term solid evdence.
This means that my beliefs are in a constant state of flux,but so what? I am happier now than ever before in my life,because I am intellectually FREE!
I believe what I believe NOW until someone posts a better idea on JWN,so keep on posting!

a friend is being hassled by a body of elders to go to a judicial committee.
i have advised against going but if they go ahead.... the question is are you entitled to have a representative of your own at a judicial committee?.
a second, not quite so urgent, question is: does anyone know where to get a copy of coc in spanish.. thanks.
You are not allowed to have a "Friend of the Court" or a Solicitor actally in the Meeting,no recording devices,you are not given access as to how a decision is reached and so have very little to mount an appeal.
I would say avoid a J.C if at all possible,have a look at the threads on here and "Doc Bobs" site.

until yesterday i hadn't posted at jwd/n since august 08. now i'm back i'm wondering if i've made a mistake, it just feels like all my fight has gone, i just don't want to argue with anyone anymore.
fluff?!
that's like asking a curry addict to switch to pasta!.
I like a bit of fluff, (British posters will know what I mean)

i kept getting emails from a jw from somewhere, don't even know who she is.
last night i finally emailed this person asking them to stop emailing me because i am not a jw and have no interest in the emails she sends.
she practically sends 2-3 "spriritual" emails a day.
This is amazing stuff ,what shows the cult influence is the number of people who have suffered a similar tirade.
I got the same almost word for word from my "loving" Bro.in Law who said "Enjoy the rest of your life" "Your dad must be spinning in his grave"
"it's so sad your sons have no one to lead them now" and other encouraging words.I think if I wasn't at the time certain that it was a cult that I
could never return to I would have been after that conversation.
