New Awake: Is Atheism on the March? (Ironically, WTS complains that Atheists should keep it to themselves)
by Elsewhere inhttps://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/g_e_201011.pdf.
the article begins with:.
"a new group of atheists has arisen in society.

Did anyone else think the title was dumb? "Is atheism on the march?" What does that mean? It's not interesting at all. It's like they're not even trying anymore.
Well, I sure haven't seen any atheists marching around in my town.
Anybody?

You must have an aversion to the FIRST Christians then- who alowed themselves with family & children to be thrown to the lions for not acknowledging the Emporer as Divine.
Sometimes it's worth dying for a cause. Sometimes - when we are adults, fully aware of who we are and why we have made that choice.
Only the biblical god (and his MAD followers) would think killing children was just for a cause.
Reading the Hebrew scriptures, killing children is clearly one of god's hobbies. Exodus 21:15, 2 Chronicles 15:12-13, Deuteronomy 13:13-19, 2 Kings 2:23-24, Hosea 9:11-16, The Flood, Armageddon, Sons of Egypt, etc., etc., etc. There is no end to the number of places God recommends or personally causes the death of infants and children over petty bullcrap.
You'd think an all-powerful god would have some shred of compassion for the defenseless, and be able to come up with a better solution than Kill, Kill, Kill.
"Same shit, different day." At least in those times they had some excuse - they were born in an ignorant, superstitious era. With the explosion of knowledge and it's instant earth-wide availability, people have less and less excuse for being bloodthirsty savages today. Many religions have matured - but the WT still finds wiggle room to engage in some good old-fashion child-killing. "Pass your baby through the fire to Jehovah! He will bless you for it!"

Of all the religions I know of, the Catholic Church is the most bloodguilty of all- except maybe Judiasm, which killed prophets, and Christ himself!
And then there are the religions that promote child sacrafice.
Should be titled "Youths we killed with our doctrine."
The WT is bloodguilty. Another sick, messed up religion that harms people, and brings humanity down. It may not be the worst - but the man who kills 2 children instead of 6 is still a murderer.
(This is for any lurkers who doubt JW's are anything but power-happy men promoting their flavor of bronze-age barbarianism. I am in full expectation that Mad will just say "Nuh uh! I laugh at you and these children! There murder makes me and my god happy!")

Petition against MadJW
by brotherdan ini'd like to submit a motion that we no longer respond to posts posted by madjw.
he's using this forum to spam all of us into going to his wts defending website.
he also claims to be a regular pioneer and gets the majority of his time by posting on this site.

I just think before anyone replies to Mad, they must assume and acknowledge that his response will always be "Neener Neener, I can't hear you - Visit my website of poorly-researched rants and made-up words." I think he is worth a reply now and then - but only for the sake of the lurkers.
While there is no point in expecting any thought-provoking reply from him - he makes a grand fool of himself and the people he claims to represent. His persecution complex is painfully obvious - he wants to be banned, so he can claim he was 'too much for the ex-jws'. Fortunately, whatever topic he tries to raise hackles with - there are usually excellent posts and rebuttals to be found. Readers of these posts will consider them, and may even be interested to see how Mad re-establishes his case. They will be let down every time.
Everyone remembers the 'Nuh-uh, I win" game from childhood, and should see his "argument" for what it is - someone who can't adaquately defend his position. I urge anyone who chooses to respond to Mad to take their time in doing so - not for or against Mad, but for the lurkers and wonderers. Let Mad's discourtesy on the board and 'mad' behavior make a fine witness for the behavior you can expect amoung JWs.

17 "When she came to her senses, she said, 'How many of JWN posters enjoy deep open discussions and are free to be the person of the heart, while I am hiding myself! 18 I will set out and go back to JWN and say to them: I have sinned against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called a poster; make me like one of your trolls.' 20 So she got up and went to JWN.
"But while she was still a long way off, JWN saw her and immediately started ragging on her avatar again.The reality is.. JW life sucks. I have yet to see any JW's on Facebook that don't engage in things frowned upon in WT land. One of my JW friends is a pin-up comic that draws naked girls all day (and has been reproved repeatedly for it, lol. It's just who he is, and it'll never change). All the others swear and cuss and bitch about how much life sucks. In WT land, the yolk is heavy, and the burden laden with uranium - not only is it heavy, but it slowly poisons you as well.
I for one look forward to any upcomming drama - it's more entertaining at least than the political discussions here.

"A waste of time, in my view."
I too must disagree.
I read the whole thing, and thought it was a very good. Well-researched, well-written, and highly informative documents like these were central to changing my mind when I was on the fence. They shatter the oft-repeated WT rhetoric that non-JW's have 'nothing worthwhile to say'. (The WT feels free to criticize everyone else, but nobody better criticize them!) The article made a solid case, backing up statements with evidence, examples, and sources rather than emotional appeals - clearly not an "empty" attack against the WT "just to criticize without offering anything."
Best of all, the reader is provided key information the WT has a clear agenda to gloss-over, omit, and/or misrepresent... and that is the key to illuminating some.

One Reason Why I Speak About Racism
by snowbird inhttp://www.eric.ed.gov/ericwebportal/search/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ericextsearch_searchvalue_0=ed018874&ericextsearch_searchtype_0=no&accno=ed018874.
if anyone cares or dares to read this, this is how it was when i was 13 years of age.. the gap in funding for black and white kids' education is still stunning to me 46 years later, but it's there in black and white.. it's a testament to our determination and fortitude that we acquired an education at all.. this, in the richest country on the planet!.
for your edification and, hopefully, understanding.. syl.

In my experience, a good education has less to do with money, and everything to do with attitude. I've been in rich schools and poor schools - and the schools where I learned the most were the ones where students were well behaved and motivated to learn. (The rich students tended to be spoiled brats who expected everything without having to work for it.)
In this day and age - if you want to learn a skill, nothing can stop you. With free schools, free internet, Wikipedia, Google, and dozens of video tutorials and 'how to' sites.. Anything you want to learn you can learn.
It's just a matter of being determined, motivated, and doing the work.- Lime

Bunk!!! Bunk I say!!!!!!
Modern airbags don't fire with a tap on the bumper. I think in most modern cars it requires the equivilant of a 15-20 mph impact (enough force to crumple the bumper and part of the car). That sort of impact well exceeds the energy-generating potential of an old granny with a handbag. (In an episode of mythbusters they try getting one to go off via 'shock' - they gave up and had to resort to triggering it electrically.)

Does anyone have the gift of interpreting dreams?
by SeekingSanity ini had this really bad dream.... .
first of all, the beginning was goofy.
jeff dunum was doing a crazy show, and the security was getting pissed off at him.

The best interpreter of your own dreams is you! Only you know what's going on in your life that best relates to the imagery. What do you think the dream means? (Just answer the question to yourself honestly.. you don't have to say here if you don't want..)
