Since my Lasic my small print vision has been poor but that is completely over-ridden by perfect long distance vision. I wore glasses from the age of 8 until I have the surgery at 44.

Being an Atheist Is Bad For Your Health
by Space Madness ini stopped believing in god in july 2013. in the first 3 months or so i felt liberated and relieved that i can live my life anyway i wanted without worrying about an invisible being watching my every move.
i also felt slightly superior that i was able to figure out that god isn't real while the majority of mankind continued to be fooled.
atfer the feelings of excitment statrted to wear off, i started to become more depressed and empty.

In the late 19th and early 20th century when Durkheim was writing, being an atheist was somewhat stigmatised and definitely a minority view.

JW's Anti-Gay position puts them in the axis of ignorance
by scotoma indarkest area is most anti-gay.
perhaps they need to focus on those areas since they seem to agree with them on this issue.
jehovah.

Space madness if we left nature to it, there would be around 1.25% maternal deaths due to childbirth resulting in many millions of motherless children. I am so glad we defy the "laws of nature" with enlightment and science.

They say reading the bible by itself is one of the quickest ways to create an unbeliever.

Oh Dear! You people have to understand that there was no trace left because their shoes and clothes did not wear out, the mannah they ate disappeared and the great lord jehovah covered over all evidence of the nomadic existence of the Isrealites. The same magic he used to create the world in seven days and then flood it in 40 days.

Bizarre comment about jw.org at SAD
by sir82 inrecently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.
"and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.
in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.

I call bollocks on that statement- there was no negotiation, it just how the Google algorithms work.

Waiting on Jehovah(TM)
by punkofnice ini remember my dear old dad (r.i.p) saying that when he had questions he waited on jehovah(tm) and got the answer later.. for the life of me i can't recall this ever happening to me......... honestly, can anyone actually recall a question that the wbt$ jehovah(tm) cleared up for you?.

Yeah it worked with me.
I had many, many doubts about the organisation and the bible, I prayed really hard to dispell and the answer came to me in a blinding light ......
............"Angus, It's all bullshit!"

How often do you see the Witnesses out on the ministry?
by rory-ks ini only ask because i hardly ever see them out on the ministry.
it is a very rare sighting to spot them actively engaged in the house to house ministry.
or out on the street work, in the marketplace, etc.. the other reason i ask is because they are constantly pictured as being on the preaching work.

If they really believe they are undertaking a "lifesaving" work, why do they show such a lack proactvity?
