Crisis of Conscience - The Movie
by cedars ini know... how cool would that be??!.
having just commented on the post by trailerfitter about the situation with his wife, and how i have personally found the book crisis of conscience by ray franz to be the perfect antidote to the society's perception of itself as being god's earthly organisation, the thought occurred to me: what if there was a movie about ray franz and his life?
obviously the society would be in uproar, and letters would be read out to all congregations all over the world not to go and see it, but just imagine!

Did Life Originate By Chance or Intelligent Design? Or is There a Third Option?
by JimmyPage inwhen discussing the argument of how life originated the wt always boils it down to being chance vs. intelligent design.. no scientist in their right mind believes it happened by chance.
nor do most scientists believe that life is a product of god.. there is a solution that the wt completely ignores and that is... natural selection.. how many here who believe in a creator have honestly examined what natural selection really is?.
(i've been reading "the god delusion" by richard dawkins and was very surprised when i came to the chapter that actually mentions the watchtower society's arguments for intelligent design.

(I've been reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins and was very surprised when I came to the chapter that actually mentions the Watchtower Society's arguments for intelligent design. It's probably been mentioned on this board before but for some reason I never caught it.
I'm really enjoying the book and I want to thank Leaving WT for turning me onto Dawkins. The man does not suffer fools lightly.)

For those who do not believe in the Bible: Why don't you?
by Chemical Emotions ini don't believe in the bible either, but i'm just curious as to why others don't.
ridiculous misogyny and mass murder by a petty little god are two reasons for me.

Society makes fun of people who take Harry Potter too seriously.
Yet in the case of religion it's considered virtuous and respectable to read "The Good Book".
Hey, at least J.K. Rowling is an engaging writer, which is more than I can say for 75% of the Bible's authors.
We should cut the "nerds" at ComiCon a break.
They know it's fiction and are just getting off on what entertains them.
Religious people, however, can be clueless and downright scary.
Homicidal. Genocidal. Criminal.

The WT Society does not want any of its members to grow up.
It wants them to be just like that youngest boy in the drama.
If the characters in the drama had been real and you fast-forwarded a few years I guarantee you that little boy would turn out to be the biggest "apostate" you've ever seen.

This type of media control seems like the first insidiously smart thing the WT has ever done. It's almost as if someone at the Society actually has a brain and is using it. Dangerous, indeed!

I might add that after introducing things that should be seen as normal, like wanting to play guitar or wanting to date, there would be sad, sad music as if the family was falling apart.
Give us a break, WT!

What was really sad was how the father was exasperated over nothing.
He can't keep the family study regular because the kids want to do normal things.
The boy wants to play guitar and the girl wants to date.
Big deal, right? Yet the father acts like it's the end of the world.
The only one who wants to do what's "right" is the youngest boy.
But in reality it's because the JW way of doing things is the only thing the little guy knows.
The teens are getting older and naturally want to branch out into the real world.
One of the most shocking things was that the "worldly" boy the girl is interested in says he looked JWs up on the internet and found that they are a cult.
To me it seems like that would just encourage the audience to do the same to see what the internet actually says, if only to counter it should they run into the argument at the door.
Let's hope that comes back to bite them in the ass.
