Many times people curse a lot because of a limited vocabulary. More education [from an accredited source say even BYU] would certainly help ones dialect to improve exponentially.

I agree with Cofty, sure the world can be awful and hateful and it can be intimidating, but also beautiful and wondrous. There are those who love God with all their heart and love their neighbor as themselves....and there are those who do not. It has always been that way.
Let your God given intelligence with sound reasoning guide your decisions on where to turn.
Also, it is good that JW.org is out there. People will be seeing JWfacts and other JW websites that are doing research.

Morality is an interesting thing. There were certainly moral people throughout history, but there was no standard of morality until the church established it.
The same is true of civil/human rights. Of education, of healthcare,of caring of the old, the poor, the feable, the handicap, etc. There were always some people who did these things, but there was no standard until the Church [the Catholic church} established it.just saying it cause it's true

With the whole 'lying for the truth' or 'spiritual warfare' thing, how do you NOT make stuff up? Doesn't that mean that you decide when to be truthful?

you may accept orange fractions in the form of orange juice (without pulp, of course) or combined with vanilla ice cream in the form a Creamsicle pop.

Are atheists more likely to be morally good than Christians?
by FusionTheism ini have no problem saying atheists and christians are equal.. but some people seem to have the belief that atheists are more likely to be morally good, or more likely to change the world for good, than christians and theists.. but what evidence do you have to support this claim?.
if atheism is what causes people to do great positive things for the world, then why weren't martin luther king, jr., william wilberforce, isaac newton, francis collins, barack obama, mother theresa, abraham lincoln, or john f. kennedy atheists?.

An interesting question. Here's my answer.
I agree that there are good and bad people of all faiths and of no faith at all as stated by others posted earlier.
I think the standards of morality that we now have are because of people of faith in a supreme God.
I think the same thing of hospitals, old age homes, orphanages, food banks, shelters and universities.
Specifically those institutions were started by the Church and were only later adopted by others who saw the good and wanted to continue the good without faith.
Again, that's not to say that there were no doctors, teachers, or those who wanted to help the poor, it's just that there weren't any of those people organized before the Church did it.

Those who were converts from another faith. When did you realize that you were being lied to?
by TTWSYF inmy experiences have included being lied to about what the bible says.
mind you , i am not referring to scripture twisting, i mean out right lying about what is written.. obviously at least some here didn't realize until it was later.. just wondering what others experienced.. thanks.

The last time that I was blatantly lied to was during a 'bible talk'with two witnesses. The older witness said something to the effect of
"You don't think Jesus really said that Peter is the rock that he would build his church, do you?"
My reply was,' I KNOW that he said that, because I've read it' I was a little aggressive in my reply and he just shut down after I said that I read it in the bible.
A better reply from me would have been
"You don't think Jesus really didn't say to Peter that he is the rock that Jesus would build his church on"
of course, the reply would have to be snarky.
