15Judaeo Christian religious practices may have actually come from ancient Egyptian religoius beliefs and practices
by Finkelstein inunder close investigation of ancient middle eastern civilizations and their religoius beliefs and practices, there appears to be a connecting commonality derived from astronomical mythological beliefs.
.
as shown through the documentary zeitgeist it would appear that these ancient civilizations plagiarized mythological beliefs from an original source to use for their own individual means and purpose, the ancient egyptian mythological practices being the originating source.. the documentary zeitgeist brings forth some interesting thoughts.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ywr5tcjae.

My favorite video from the 2019 convention
by George One Time ini love this video, not because it promotes jehovah's love.... but because it indirectly discusses a subject that helped me to question my beliefs.. https://www.jw.borg/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwbcov_201905_11_video.
(creation reveals jehovah's love).
it is the first clip, and it is about how elements are formed.

All of the elements heavier than carbon were formed in the heart of an exploding star.
We are made of star-stuff. Look at your hands and reflect that there are atoms in your left hand that formed in a different star from atoms in your right hand.

Recommended Reading for ExJWs: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
by Jehalapeno infirst off, this is a book you want to read.
avoid the movie franchise at all costs.
horrible movies.. here's why i recommend this book: its prime focus is using rational reasoning to form your life philosophy - whether that be relationships, career or faith.. it also gives insight into the mind of someone who survived the geopolitical equivalent of the jws - the communist regime of stalin.. the antagonists of the book are referred to as "collectivists".

I'm confused, is Jimmy Young a fan of Rand or not?
More objective information about her philosophy can be found at the Ayan Rand Society website.
I will read her. It's good to reflect on ideas that you are not instinctively attracted to.
The late Christopher Hitchens observed in his usual witty style that it is incredible that there is a party in America who think we are not yet selfish enough.
Stephen Hicks is a member of the Rand Society and I greatly admire his discourses on philosophy. I can't see me ever adopting full-blown Libertarianism.
The distinction between individualism of liberal democracies and the collectivism of the Right (Fascist) and Left (Communist) systems is crucial.
There is a happy place somewhere between Ayn Rand and Pol Pot.

My email to JW Following Trolley Conversation
by cofty ina few weeks ago i had an really interesting conversation with three male jws who were loitering around a trolley at the west end of princes street in edinburgh.. i managed to completely avoid giving any hint about my jw past and focussed on why they thought the bible was a reliable moral guide.
i used the subject of slavery to illustrate my concerns.. one of the three was in his early twenties, knew a lot about his own beliefs but nothing about the real life and it was difficult to get through his thought-bubble.
the second one was in his 60s and not very bright.

Attewc - thanks for your comments. I intend to continue to look for opportunities to start conversations along these themes. I wonder if it still bugs Andrew?

Death rate is less than 1 percent...
It's actually about 2% but much higher among older people.

Yes I'm guessing your username includes your birth year? If so then I am a year younger. My family were quite strict bit fortunately I got to go to concerts at Edinburgh Playhouse and Glasgow Apollo.
No smartphones so you had to look for concert adverts in the NME and local papers and then go to the box office!

A Trick of The Tail is still one of the best albums ever. Saw Genesis live at the Highland Showground in Edinburgh back in the mid 80s. Awesome!
