12 step program for recovering JW's
by besty intaking a leaf from the aa i think we should write a 12 step manifesto for ex-jw's.. my initial step inspired by chickpea:.
along with the righteous over-much shunning by the very ones whose company would drive me to suicide in paradise.
"we came to realize the company of those who would drive us to suicide in the paradise was not worth jack in the present".

Hmmm...I have a question
by hmmmmmm inhi.. somethings seem weird.. for example - wages of sin is death - so if you sin you die, and if you die you have paid for that sin completely, so you have no more sin.
.
now what if everyone in the world was killed - by a nuclear domino effect - in theory we have saved everyone .... any ideas?.

As the wages of sin are death, I'd betted get to sinning and make my inevitable death worth it. :D

... like the fine print in a fraudulent contract
by cofty indaniel dennett has accused apologists of double-standards in a column in the washington post.. like all things that are worth saying it made me want to go away and really think it through for a while.
perhaps pat robinson was just being more honest about the real implications of faith?.
one of the striking differences between modern, "organized" religion and tribal or folk religions--religions without seminaries and theologians and official books--is that in tribal religions they have no double standard!

So, how much $$ would you anonymously pledge?
by Open mind ina letter dated december 7, 2009 to all congregations (not sure if it was just the us branch or not) said that the elders should ask the publishers to submit slips of paper anonymously with an amount they would be willing to contribute each month towards either:.
a: repaying the outstanding, local, kingdom hall loan, or.
b: if there is no local loan, contributing to the kingdom hall construction fund.. .

Something You Hate About The Jehovah's Witness Religion
by minimus inone thing that truly bothers me is that the religion forces you to accept an understanding they have expressed.
they might very well change their view and you simply have to accept the newest view or you are the bad guy!
the generation understanding has changed so much since its inception, how could any witness possibly be 100% sure that what they're told to believe in is "the truth"??.

Their misguided view on how the whole rest of the world is out to get them.
"Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!"
