Another reason WT doesn't like the Big Bang Theory is the scientist who came up with it:

Big Bang........ Big silence....
by snare&racket ini am 32, old enough to remember being told to refute the big bang as untrue by my parents and the religion they brought me up in.. it was a big decision for me even as a teen, i knew i was choosing a side, i remember my physics teacher laughing and mocking me and the other jw for denying the big bang.
our parents arranged that in our exams we were allowed to answer questions on the big bang in a unique manner:.
"scientists claim......... but as a jw i do not subscribe to this belief.".

Jesus as Bread from Heaven: Who is to Partake?
by Ding in"so they asked him, "what miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you?
31 our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'he gave them bread from heaven to eat.
'" 32 jesus said to them, "i tell you the truth, it is not moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

Go look at the Dionysius cult. The wine and bread is copied from that greek religion.
Go look at Genesis 14. Bread and wine was offered by Melchizadech. Who copied whom?

Aunt Connie, let's make a deal: I won't go to your memorial, and you will stay away from Easter Midnight Mass. How does that sound?

NEW BLOOD CARD DIRECTIVE...
by SkyGreen inthe husband just gave me the new march km (im using it folded up as a coaster at the moment) and a new "blood card" to complete, along with a copy of a set of instructions for how to fill it out and a letter from wts to every baptised publisher.
i said to him "i wont be needing that" and gave it back to him, and he just said, well just throw it out then - no overreaction yay :o) without telling him, about a month ago, (i tore up my existing no blood directive.
our kids have never carried around "identity cards" we were never that diligent about it).

I've been wondering if its worthwhile carrying some sort of anti-blood directive card with me,
Perhaps a donor ID card from the blood bank?

They do not do a good job of exploring why different people stop going to the meetings
First things first: gotta pump up that memorial head count for the annual report. Get more seats filled for the annual census, that's the prority this month. The shepherding calls, JCs and shunning will wait until the memorial reports are in.
Go once a year, and you contribute to their "growth".

Good story, great movie, though the facts were somewhat embellished for dramatic effect.
The chase scene on the runway was a little silly (Given that the top speed of a 60's era Mercedes Unimog was about 60 mph)
Not to mention what the blast from engines at take-off power would do to them!

WTS vs. Star Trek
by Farkel instar trek claimed to be fantasy and in fact, was fantasy.. wts claims to be the sole truth on earth and in fact, is fantasy.. star trek had spock who solved problems with logic.. wts has a gb who solves problems with bullshit.. star trek had a pompous ass charismatic leader whom everyone loved to watch rant and emote.
wts had three pompous ass charismatic leaders whom everyone hated to watch rant and emote.. captain kirk was always saving his people from new disasters.. wt leaders are always leading its people into new disasters.. star trek made money by always giving its fans the stuff they wanted.. wts makes money by always charging its fans for stuff neither they nor anyone else else wants.. people had fun when star trek came on.. people would rather have a root canal when meetings come on.. star trek was all about making the cosmos a better place for all.. wts is all about making the cosmos a better place for a few and killing everyone else.. people love to go to star trek conventions.. people would rather be in an earthquake than go to wts conventions.. star trek had a transporter room.. people in meetings wish they also had a transporter room.. star trek had lots of insane villains.. wts had judge rutherford and fred franz.
same thing.. star trek also had lots of good guys.. good guys are banished from the wts.. star trek had the klingons who spoke a bizarre language.. wts had fred franz who spoke an even more bizarre language.. star trek had all sorts of devices which could cure most any medical problems, but of course, they were science fiction.. wts had the electronic radio biola which it sold and said could cure most any medical problem, but of course, that was science fiction.. star trek had floppy disks, computers you could talk to and flat screen monitors all of which were about 50 years ahead-of-their time.. wts had vaccines which were called "filthy animal pus", humans hearts which were the seat of all emotions, organ transplants which were cannibalistic, human personalities which were also transferred with blood transfusions and black people turning white by reading their literature, all of which were 100 years behihd-their-time.. if you missed a few star trek episodes in a row, no one came by to harrass you.. if you miss a few meetings in a row, you are in deep shit.. star trek tv shows and movies are still played all the time, even after 47 years.. wts dramas never even play a second time.

Farkel, good to hear from you again!
Star Trek had professionally written scripts, designed to appeal to both children and adults.
WTS has tracts from the writing department, appealing to nobody.

Re: Will you attend the Memorial this year? Why? Why not?
by check inyou all had some interesting thoughts on that jw memorial thread.
some of you mentioned that you are going so that you can set some sort of example.
i gather that some of you believe that by going and eating, you are somehow showing them they can (or should) do it too.. that really confuses me.

No, I won't go (and even when married to a JW, I never did). I don't want to send any sign that I am an "interested one", nor do I want to give offense. While I don't believe what they do, there is no need to offend them on their High Holy Day. The real problem is in Brooklyn, not at the local Kingdom Hall.
