when uninspired and largely uneducated men tend to go beyond the scriptures and add their own witless, inane and mindless thoughts to them simply because people have given them authority to do so, you get drivel.
Like the Book of Mormon for example.

16Let's compare the sayings of Jesus and the modern day Governing Body
by RULES & REGULATIONS inimagine yourself still sitting at a kingdom hall meeting and turn to the book of mark 7: 21-23. the sayings of jesus are really profound.
the scripture makes you think, reflect, enters your heart and produces results.. today, you have your modern day governing body ( who supposedly are the mouthpiece for jesus and jehovah and provide spiritual food for the 8 million followers).
if jehovah really sends his holy spirit upon these seven men, is this silly and petty message they can come up with?

When I left 20+ years ago he wasn't an elder. Didn't look like ever being one at that point either.

His brother was a bit of a cunt
I got on quite well with Gordon but your experience must have been different. When I was having doubts I had a long chat with Gordon and he was cool about it.

Why 2017 Was the Best Year in Human History
by pseudoxristos ini found the following article to be a nice contrast to the jw's gloomy point of view.. why 2017 was the best year in human history.
we all know that the world is going to hell.
given the rising risk of nuclear war with north korea, the paralysis in congress, warfare in yemen and syria, atrocities in myanmar and a president who may be going cuckoo, you might think 2017 was the worst year ever.. but you’d be wrong.

Did you just have a brain-fart SBF?
Good OP. Pinker's 'The Better Angels of our Nature' should be compulsory reading for every ex-JW.

Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution
by dubstepped inso i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.
i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

How to Argue for Creationism
by cofty inall creationist arguments follow an identical pattern.. first a quick way to remember the format - 'complexity, complexity, complexity; therefore god'.. now a more detailed guide to formulating an argument.. identify some complex feature of the natural world.
a quick google search or nature documentary will quickly provide inspiration.
creationist websites have hundreds of them you can copy-paste without attribution.. do no research at all on what is currently known about the evolutionary history of this feature.

Darwin's frequent bouts of illness seems at least in part, to have been triggered by stress over the implications of his ideas. He was no bold critic of belief in the way Huxley was.

Brilliant! Thank you TD.
I have been reading 17th and 18th century documents recently as part of local history research. It takes a while to get your eye in.
