I guess the hard-core atheists tend to dominate. Maybe it's the good manners that the believers have. Nice replies, all.

Pick the low-hanging fruit
by stillin ini happened to be standing nearby when an outside contractor, out of the goodness of his heart, approached a fellow worker and invited him to his church.
the fellow worker is a known problem-drinker and actually, probably could use some discipline in his life.. anyhow, after a gushing account about how vibrant his church is and what a great guy the preacher is, he said that the lord moved him to speak with the problem-drinker.
well, i'm feeling left out, neglected, dejected and finally chimed in.

Anyhow, after a gushing account about how vibrant his church is and what a great guy the preacher is, he said that the Lord moved him to speak with the problem-drinker. Well, I'm feeling left out, neglected, dejected and finally chimed in. "Hey, doesn't the lord care about me?" He says, " you're always smiling and happy. I figure you're alright."
I'm thinking, yeh, I'm smiling and happy BECAUSE I made my escape from all of that self-deception. But, I don't want to rain on anybody's parade and I manage to keep my mouth shut.
I actually suggested to the drinker that it might be a good thing. Are you guys going to crucify me for that?

Uber’s ruin everything
by Steel inhas anyone ever been to a jehovah witness social event and you are having a good time till a couple idiots show up and have to twist everything back to the society.

One pioneer liked to be positive about everything going on in his life. He boasted how Jehovah takes care of His loved ones, indicating how special and loved he must be to Jehovah. I pointed out to him that this sort of talk must be a real put-down to a person who has done his best to serve Jehovah yet he is out of a job and things are tough.
It actually shut him up.

Desensitized by the Bible
by jws ini have an old friend who grew up jw in my original congregation and is now on his latest wife.
unlike the somewhat religious ambivalence of his previous wives, this one he says is right on par with his religious view.
which is very conservative christian.lately, his wife posted on facebook about the horrible things in the world and the roll media takes in desensitizing us.

Good rant, jws! And also a clue as to how the "moral majority" can stand behind such an immoral leadership.

Road to nowhere is probably right. Your phone can be turned into a hot mic. Your "smart" tv is probably capable of making your living room into a stage where you are a player. Your iPad is most likely capable of "spying" on you if you have loaded certain apps onto it.
If you discuss how bombs should be made a lot at home, men in black will be coming through your door.

I "refreshed" my gravatar. Another monster from hell, probably. I deserve it. Someday I'll figure out how to upload one that I choose.

If You Criticize A Person of Color Are You A Racist?
by minimus inseriously, it’s getting to a point that you can’t make a negative comment about someone without being charged as a racist, homophobe or sexist!
if you criticize a female, you are obviously sexist.
if you criticize someone who happens to be gay, you must hate homosexuals.

There was an incident in the news this last week about a white restaurant patron that got fed up with the loud, obnoxious behavior of two black women patrons. It escalated and she told them that they were acting like n*ggers.
We can think these things but we had better not say them

The "Good Old Days" - what made em' good?
by Terry inhave you ever heard the phrase:.
well, since i can't sleep tonight - you're gonna hear my version of what it means.. .
so, just suck it up and deal.. .

I'm right there with you, Terry. Sure, 1,000 years ago it was different. The "shared " experience was Grandpa's storytelling in the evening. Or fables. Or re-told Bible stories. But the attention among the listeners was rapt. And shared!
Now, it's earbuds and going to your own room for privacy..
I don't see how this will ever be the good old days.
