I think this thread is ample evidence of the sterility of a discussion with an avowed (and usually illegitimately so as most haven't the intellectual credentials to make a credible claim or defense of the same) atheist.

What's the difference between an Irishman and Scot?

Ans - A Scot is an Irishman minus the charm and sense of humor.

and that means to your wife/family/friends/congo??

?.........and if you are...... don't you think maybe it is best if you just go away anyway?....either df...da...di or disappear?.

funny how they all start with d..........oompa.

The truth is that the "Truth" is full of closet apostates. If the congregation one and all were hooked up to a lie detector and asked a list of loyalty questions w/regard to doctrine and the like, my guess is that ALL would fail.

Friends, Study Partners, and then GONE...

about a year and 12 ago, after much conversation with a jw co-worker, we began a formal study.

we studied religiously (no pun intended) almost every week unless i was on business travel or there was a sickness or other item that precluded us from getting together.. .

during that process, we became very strong, close friends... at least that is what i thought was happening.

You sound like a woman. If you're married and even if you're not it could very well be that the emotional line was crossed and he wasn't cool with that.

Oh and I'd have to say that the fact you're here and supposedly a "study?"

Sounds really fishy to me. My spidey sense is going off.

Jaguar... The nazi thing in this discussion has reference to this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

FYI

Oh, and BTS wins this because the intent of the post was not to argue for the correctness of any given position, but rather to submit emotional consonance with the sentiments of the article posted - this despite the attempt which was partially successful to change the topic.

The only thing one might logically have done in response (on the part of those who feel that the article posted was in fact not correct and that atheists ARE in fact not shrill, repetitive and dull in response to the straw man "Theist" argument shrilly and repetitively put forth) is to say "I simply don't see it that way. True, Dawkins and those like him are an embarrassment to our cause, but we simply have to embrace all those we can as we simply don't have the numbers we need to make any significant impact and furthermore we're feeling a bit ignored of late and that's rather depressing to the lot of us."

Cuz I was wondering when we'd get to that.

JW Helter Skelter head tricks...(which I did)

i used to go to the local goodwill store and find literature that was given to people (who obviously didn't want it because it was in mint condition) with their names inside "to blah, blah w/blessings blah...." and look them up and secretly leave it back on their doorsteps late at night so when they got up the next morning this unwanted literature would be there, mocking them.... .

another thing was the laundromat fake witnessing thing... there was this one laundromat that kept trashing the mags and i'd retrieve them every day and put them back...(the same set)...then i came in after about three or four times this happened to find it shredded in the trash and so i collected the shredded bits and replaced the mags with what looked like identical copies, less the mangling.

this happened about two more times and i kept doing the same thing ( i think i had like a case of these sets because that's what you'd get from people who wanted to "help" the pio's out).

I can only wonder what these people were thinking...

(Oh, I remember a time when I was out in a remote area about 15 miles off road to go hiking around Mt. Hood and oddly there was one other car there, someone else must have discovered this trail... On the way out I left one of those Hell tracts on the windshield...never ran into anyone out on the 13 miles of trail)
