bit late to the party... from the OP:
It's called being human. If one leaves a faith because of a bad example- there'd BE no faith on Earth!
sounds great to me!

Jehovah's Witnesses not a protestant religion? (from The Watchtower 2009)
by Joliette injehovahs witnesses do not consider themselves to be a protestant religion.
protestantism arose in 16th-century europe in an effort to reform the roman catholic church.
the word protestant was first applied to the followers of martin luther at the diet of speyer in 1529. since then, the term has generally come to describe all those who adhere to the tenets and goals of the reformation.

They take seriously the Bible’s counsel: “A servant of the Lord is not to engage in quarrels, but has to be kind to everyone, a good teacher, and patient. He has to be gentle when he corrects people who dispute what he says.”
lolz!

The fascinating mind of ANSELM (the man who proved God exists)
by Terry inthat one thing, of course, exists through itself, and so it is greater than all the other things.
so that than which nothing greater can be thought exists in the understanding.
but if it exists in the understanding, it must also exist in reality.

this makes no sense to me, why does it have to exist in every world because it exists in one? thats like saying if i sit in one chair i sit in every possible chair"
In this context, "maximally great" means a being which has maximal excellence in every possible world. It would then exist in every possible world, according to the one making the definitions and playing these particular word games. You're right that it makes no sense, which is a good indication that the initial assumption(s) is deeply flawed.
that's a tautology though, if you rewrite that with that definition of maximal excellence it says:
"3. If a being exists in every possible world, then it exists in every possible world."
Also I'm assuming 'every world' is along the lines of M theory, if so I still don't get why something that exists in one facet of a multiverse has to exist in all.
Makes no sense to me, seems deeply illogical.

Why The "Truth" Isnt For Me
by Pig inhere are some reasons to tell the jw's at the doors why it's just not for you.
stephen king once said "the biggest sin in writing is to bore the reader".
if that's true then the biggest sinners are the watchtower corp. reading is so boring anyway (most the time) and if you wanna be a jw you have to read read read.

Covering your tracks on the computer after visiting JWN
by Quillsky ini don't have to, fortunately, because i don't share my computer with anyone.. but i've been thinking, with empathy, about those that do.
how far do you go to stop people realizing that you've been here?
do you log in and out every time?

white dove - put a password on your computer? easier than hiding the mouse and keyboard?!
On topic, yea just use private browsing, in IE8 it's called InPrivate browsing, in Safari go to safari > private browsing, on Chrome start a new incognito window, Firefox has something similar, no idea on Opera, IE6 and IE7 don't have this feature (noone should be using these nasty browsers anyway!).
This will make sure anything looked at/downloaded during a private session will leave no traces at all.

Do you love or hate to cook?
by VampireDCLXV injust a quick poll if you will.... i personally hate to cook.
it's not that i'm particularly bad at it, i just don't have a whole lot of patience or motivation to do it.
i suppose it has something to do with my having to live alone?
