Ultimately, I feel that an absence of belief in god is neutral "worldview" ground but I also acknowledge the varying degrees of assertiveness within that group.
I'd say it's more like going from ignorance to total blindness rather than one extreme to the other.
i thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.
maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.
if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.
coffee black - it's just another way jw's have twisted meanings - there's nothing that Paul wrote, or anywhere in Scripture that suggests that a woman should only be covered when performing the duty of a man in prayer or prophesy(including making comments at meetings)
1Cor 5-7
"And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head,"
debator - the only reason jw's study Torah is to justify their own ideas - as for Jews - Messiah and all the first century church practiced Torah. They didn't start a new religion. That came later with the merging with Roman Sun Worship - hence SUNday
Matt 5:17 - "Think not that I came to destroy the Law."
When we present Almighty Yahweh's law, And arguments from the Scriptures draw, Objectors say, to pick a flaw, "IT'S JEWISH."
Though at first Almighty Yahweh blessed, And sanctified His day of rest, The same belief is still expressed, "IT'S JEWISH."
Though with the world this rest began, and then through all the Scriptures ran, And Yahushua said, 'Twas made for man" -- "IT'S JEWISH."
If from the bible we present, The Sabbath's meaning and intent, This answers every argument-- "IT'S JEWISH."
Though the disciples, Luke and Saul, Continue still this rest to call, The 'Sabbath Day', this answers all, "IT'S JEWISH."
The evangels taught a plain expression, That "Sin is of the law transgression", Seems not to make the least impression-- "IT'S JEWISH."
They love the rest of man's invention, But if Almighty Yahweh's Day we mention, That puts an end to all contention, "IT'S JEWISH."
Well, those who Yahweh's Day abuse, Simply because 'Twas made for Jews', The Savior, too, you must refuse, for "HE'S JEWISH!"

1) They diregard the 10 Commandments
2) They disregard the rest of Torah
3) Use an adulterated form of God's name
4) Use an adulterated form of Messiah's name.
5) Women aren't covered(head)
6) Pervert justice
7) Don't baptize in the name of Messiah
8) Do strange things with Scripture(NWT)
9) Require absolute obedience to men
10) Protect pedophiles
just checking if anyone else is onto that, i haven't been here in awhile.
.
If it weren't for oil, the whole of muslimism would be back to picking dates and knitting rugs.
pedophiles should have the death penalty .
too many, wonderful children are being wasted by these filthy low life sobs, why are these pigs from hell not put on death row in this country i will never know.
shame shame shame!.
Saw something the other day - "BRAND THEM LIKE CATTLE - RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES." (Ditto for other low lifes)
was wondering why god didnt make it straight and simple...why there are so many explanations and intepretations..
There is a universal premise, that fools are not entitled to truth - lest they would either be led by it
or misused by others to start cults.

One extreme to the other

judge dread .
isn't it a shame that this is the first conflict in which we haven't used propaganda as a weapon? Imagine if the Middle East Islamic countries were showered with leaflets that inform them that there is no historical or archaeological evidence that Mecca ever existed before pagan immigrants settled it in the 4th century and built their kaaba for moon, sun, star and demon worship in the early 5th century!
Their imams would likely have to field a lot of questions. The cat would be out of the bag. They would be made to feel like a bunch of pagan buffoons. They would leave Islam in mass.
Maybe a similar thing could be done at Kingdom Halls.
us pastor says will burn koran despite petraeus concernshttp://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100907/pl_afp/afghanistanunrestusreligionislampastor.
tue sep 7, 9:21 am et end .byline washington (afp) the pastor of a small florida church said tuesday he will go ahead with his plans to hold a koran burning this week, despite warnings by the us commander of the afghan war of violent reactions in the islamic world.terry jones, who heads the dove world outreach center in gainesville florida, said he had given "serious" consideration to the concerns expressed by general david petraeus over plans to torch a koran to mark the ninth anniversary of the september 11 terror attacks, but said he would proceed anyway.. "we are taking the general's words very serious.
we are continuing to pray about the action on september 11th," he said.. nevertheless, he said "we have firmly made up our mind" to go ahead with burning the muslim holy book.. "i mean, how long, when does america stand for truth?
"I really don't understand the denial and the hypocrisy that is directed toward this President. Why can't Americans just admit the truth and say it: America has succumbed to Islam............
(The Americans ceased calling themselves "Christians" on January 6, 2009.)
"And the Demon opened his mouth to blaspheme against God, to blaspheme against His Name and His Abode, and against those who dwell in Heaven. And he was given authority over all generations and nations and tongues and peoples, and he was given authority to do battle with the saints and to defeat them. And they worshipped him, all of them who dwelled on earth, those whose name is not written in the book of Life, the Book of Life of the Lamb who was sacrificed from the foundations of the universe.
(42 months after the Americans betrayed Jesus will be June 6, 2012.)"
June 6th 1967 btw - was when Jews retook control of Jerusalem - what the west doesn't seem to grasp is that islam has been at war with the west for 1300 years and now it's getting serious. As was stated on another forum - "we can either persevere, or roll over as nearly the whole known world did, until the First Islamic Jihad arrived in Tour France and was defeated by Charles "Martel" (the hammer) and again in Vienna Austria." - Brotherpete.com
They are obviously well funded and well organized and totally committed to one goal. Destruction of Western Civilization.
