  Wow! My brother is just too dumb for words....

  by Witness My Fury in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok we know it's a stupid mind control cult but sometimes to see it in the flesh is just a slap in the face.... i lent my brother karen armstrongs the bible - the biography, which is a great book to help understand the bible, i have read it twice and it was very informative.

  i had hoped my brother may find it likewise and actually learn something.. not a frickin chance.

  he gave the book back today with an agitated tone and told me it was crap and that he didnt want me to show him any other books, he had got to page 21, so had only managed the introduction and 12 pages of chapter 1 of a book with 229 pages (300+ if you include glossary and appendix).. inside were some postit noted with notations he'd written about dates quoting from insight volumes and scripture inspired to "correct" the dates in the book for events and dates of reigns like manassahs and hezekiahs.. basically he got mad that the book disagreed with what his drone cult brain read in the wts volumes and refused to read any further.. ffs he didnt even look at another outside source at all, just assumed the book was making error after error on dates and got annoyed.. i am shocked he could be just that dumb.

  What Congregation should you attend?

  by Quarterback in

  can someone, please, help me in finding this?.

  i remember in a kingdom ministry, written quite some time, ago.. it mentioned that it was upto the individual family to determine what congregation they would attend, based on their own circumstances.

  they wouldn't be subjected to determined boundaries.. does anyone remember that one, and where it exists?.

  The best person to ask is an employment lawyer as JeffT suggests. I'd be tempted to think of your situation as a risk management exercise in a way: ie think of what could happen if you fade/ leave and do some contingency planning. This forum is a good place to talk through the options but as for specific specialist advice advice I'd see, well, a specialist. :)

  chatting through a list of "what ifs" on here might help on the wider situation.

  Welcome!

  news .religious people are less intelligent than non-believers, according to a new review of 63 scientific studies stretching back over decades.. .

  a team led by miron zuckerman of the university of rochester found a reliable negative relation between intelligence and religiosity in 53 out of 63 studies.

  I'm not sure religous belief is quite that simple Simon (sorry lol). Many religious people will explain the reason why they hold their beliefs. There is often logic behind it although it always seems to be based on a lot of assumptions.
