That's it! The Jesus stories are most reasonably explained as myth. History makes this obvious.
by Island Man ina careful examination of the historical pagan religious context existing at the time of the genesis of christianity leads any reasonable person to conclude that jesus is just another one of several similar myths.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn7teoa9ark.

Hey, isn't this how the other religions evolved??
Cirgactly - wtbt$ is just another (young ish) religon and it's gradually loosing its homey egalitarian small town innocence and evolving into just another hypocritical religo-business with big bucks, a checkered history, skeletons-in-the-closet, power politics, a large legal team ready to pounce and the true mark of an establishment religon. - it's own nasty brand of intractable institutionalized child abuse (problem ).

Great - thanks Terry.
One thing I will say @phizzy, it always amazes me what a good historian can deduce from written sources.

I've thought the whole shebang was moving this way for a while.
My reasons: Wtbts fears bancruptcy and has pulled in marketing professionals (in fact professionals generally)who have told them they are wasting their manhours with unsuitable (ie shy etc)folk going d2d when their time/resources could be more profitably spent volunteering in other ways and, of course - big turn here- working & DONATING if you cant do owt else!!
Also, going d2d pubs at risk of meeting folk like US who can easily show them proof that the WT is bs. At the carts (ususally)only interested/mad/desperate folk will approach.
I think the anti cold calling climate does not help either. Just my two penny w'th !

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

Oh yes I had the hairdye is worldly. In fact, I was told you are not allowed to dye your hair.
Anyway, stupid one is this.
I was in a school play & I was going to be wearing a (particularly beautiful)sari my school friend lent me. I was told, in all seriousness, that I should rethink it as Indian religon is demonic and some Indian women in Saris' have been known to astrally project.

This week's Bible reading : Joshua: 1 Isaiah: 2
by prologos inso, you thought joshua had jehovah on command to make the sun stand still*?
well this week's bible reading shows isaiah at 2 kings 20:11 upstaging joshua!
for the prophet prompted the sun not only to stand still, but to reverse, shadows retracing backward.

What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?
by Londo111 inthe culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.
whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?
im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.
