The orignal sin concept 'validates' a multi-billion dollar industry selling mythology as truth. Without original sin, there is no need for the Church.
Religion is legalized fraud.

16Sin Inherited Humankind
by looter inso jws believe all humans have faults, problems, birth pangs, etc., because we all inherited sin from the original human being adam.
like i would like this to make since but why would jehovah do this to future humans who have done nothing wrong at all?
i think of it like if a parent has one child and that child really disobeyed her before then when the parent has a second child, she punishes that child because of what her first did.

No. Check out Eratosthenes of Cyrene and how he figured out the Earth's surface was curved.

Why do people need religion in this century?
by sweetgrass ini think people need religion because of fear.
fear of death and what will happen at death if they have been good or bad.
people say it gives them hope but is this not born too out of fear of not seeing dead loved ones again, or having a better life in the afterlife?

Anti-religion T-Shirt idea
by Simon ini want a t-shirt.
something that says "religion is crap, i don't care which one".. i was thinking of adapting the "coexist" one to say "toxic" instead which is great because it removes 'science' but includes all the major world religions.. anyone else have any ideas?.
also a tag-line ... "whatever god you worship, he's a weirdigan".

The man who founded the Mormon religion was a fraudster. I think that says it all.

Ever-changing teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses - probably the most comprehensive compendium about Watchtower doctrinal changes
by WTS Archive intwo days ago a new book was released for download, called "ever-changing teachings of jehovah's witnesses".
it was originally written by a polish jw scholar (who never was a jw himself) włodzimierz bednarski, with a help from szymon matusiak, who was a jw and an elder, and is a result of years of labourious work to compile quotes regarding every single doctrine the book describes.
it covers the most important changes in years 1879—2015.

slimboyfat said: See page 6 of The Photodrama of Creation for example, under the heading "The Fifth Day or Epoch". and See also pages 31 and 32 of The Divine Plan of the Ages.
Thank you for posting this slimboyfat. I KNEW there had to be some document(s) of Botchtower's that my Mom had read. She did a complete 180 on Evolution when I was in my teens, telling me that there was something to the Theory of Evolution after all. I was left in shock. This was just one of a few things that occurred as I grew up that led me to the conclusion this religion was/is not for me.
