  Irreligious- Bill Maher

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just watched this film on netflix.

  if you haven't seen it its worth watching just for the ways he demolishes the religious advocates he interviews.. the most worrying things i saw in it were the us senator who says that having a high iq isn't a criteria for being senator and also all the muslims he interviews who despite claiming to have read the quran also claim that islam is a religion of peace..

  Bill Maher is brilliant! The movie is fabulous, but his live show on Friday nights is such a treat week after week. He does stand up in my town on the 18th of July if anyone wants to join me.

  they just posted the simplified august study watchtower on jw.org.. paragraph 11 of the "expectation!

  " article says this:.

  "so even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime.".

  FT: "So even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime."

  Yep, I'm confident that they have it right this time for sure.

  Does What We Say Here Or In Person Really Help JWs To Get Out Of The Religion?

  by minimus in

  if we are in the congregation, do you think our comments or questions actually reach elders or others in the congregation?

  do our comments on this board affect witnesses to the point of questioning their faith?

  Yes, my faithful father related to me Monday that one of his very progressive bible studies looked at an "apostate sight on the Internet" and quit studying after reading about the pedophiles within the org. My mother gasped at the horror of such a lie and my father looked so sad at his loss. I looked at a dirty spot on the rug for what seemed like forever, until I knew it was safe to look up and change the subject.

  i just wanted to introduce myself and say a big hello to all of my mentally diseased friends.. i say friends because i have been lurking for some time so it feels like home (us lurkers are a bit scared and cautious so it takes a while).

  i won't bore you with too many details, but i am a born in, currently serving as the cobe of a congregation.

  my wife and i have pioneered for the last 10 years and were shaken awake by that ridiculous 15th july 2013 wt about the generation and 1914.. my wife who is much smarter than me has questioned for years.

  How many times did we have to go through that book in the 70's? Every damn Tuesday night, sitting on a cold folding chair in a pretty little cotton dress in someones's smelly basement. I just wanted to be home watching TV, doing home work or playing with dolls, but no that book meant our very LIVES.

  I made it all the way to 50 minutes last night. I then had to do a proper cleanse by putting on my old stand by movie "Religulous"

  A lot of similarities between Lett and Ken Ham
