leavingwt, thanks for clearing that up.
How do you tell the difference between Jesus or gods voice and a schizoprenic episode?
I guess not all voices make bad choices?

"We are all atheists ...
by Nickolas in... about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in.
some of us just go one god further.".
dawkins raises a point which some, if not many, theists will dismiss as irrelevant, but i am not exactly sure why.

IMHO, Nick, the 'Personal Revelation' is the largest obstacle to this line of reasoning.
Sorry, I don't understand, what do you mean by personal revelation?
I think you may mean that they feel a connection to Jesus or God.
I look at all the many gods the Romans had. They thought they had influence on their lives, not sure if there was anything "personal" going on there, but they were dependant on them, and thanked them when things went right and blamed then when things went wrong.
I don't see anymore "proof' of their gods than Abraham's god.
Growing up with JW parents, you certainly didn’t have any chance to learn about other religions, it was completely the chance of who you were born to.
There was no opportunity to learn what others believed.
Does reading “Mankind’s Search for God” count?

Do you know of anyone DF for A blood transfusion?
by jam ina large number of jw.s are df for moral reasons, so you repent and come back.. what happen when one agree to blood , maybe a parent gave permission for.
their child.
is this the unforgivable sin , can one come back after receiving blood.. do they feel that one sin is greater, (blood vs adultery).

New ex-JW memoir coming out...
by brizzzy ini don't post a ton here because i'm kinda shy.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0373892357?tag=thegirsguitoh-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkcode=as1&creativeasin=0373892357&adid=038ez4bjpam7bcsze5mq&.
that's the amazon link (which is currently the most affordable, i believe, but it's also available for preorder at b&n, borders, indiebound, and indigo-chapters if you're in canada, if you prefer one of those retailers).. .

Demonstrations From the Platform
by DarioKehl ingood evening, all.... still relatively new here so if i'm posting about a topic that's already been run into the ground, i apologize.
but i just wanted to acknowledge the typical "demo" we all see at meetings, assemblies and conventions.
even back when i was a good-goody teen dub, my brother, friends and i would jokingly refer to demos as "5-minute illustrations on how to say 'no.'".

+++++ Why, I may even be sent PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL by mistake!!!
Hmmm,[ thinking about that]....Why, I could download PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL initionally and my wife wold never know!!
At least the kids won't find the magaizne hidden in my dresser again...and I could even password protect it so the other elders won't go through the history like they did to Bro Seems To Be Hidding Something, when he went to the bathroom break at the the KM school.
I sure wouldn't want to them to find the kind of stuff they did on his phone....I'll have to think of a good password..1914...no, to many people would guess that.....how about 1975..no good witness would think of trying that.
Is this feaking assembly over yet?
SH*T!! I am on the stage and everyone can hear me!!!!!!!

It is very subtle, sometimes details are lost in shadows.
Good job Aussie.
