  Ignorance and Stupidity

  by MrFreeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've had an epiphany.

  maybe this was obvious to some of you but after having discussions with certain people i've realized there's a big difference between ignorance and stupidity.

  you can fix ignorance by shedding light.

  What's the best cover version of a song you've ever heard?

  by VampireDCLXV in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  the title pretty much says it all.. it's true that there are many classics that simply can't be topped but it doesn't stop people from trying anyway.

  and what do ya know; occasionally someone does succeed.

  here i will post at least one notable example.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o9gf_sofbm&p=301f39587863d18d&playnext=1&index=3.

  i'm asking because i just watched "the road".

  it may not be the saddest but it's up there.

  "my sister's keeper" was a real tearjerker too..

  Church of the apostate, and baptism nullification

  by avishai in

  starting a no church church for depbaptisms, only belief is that your old religion no longer has power over you or rights to your info if you don't want them too., with possible legal ramifications.

  here is a rough draft of what we're trying to do, whaddya think?.

  we're tired of organizations that you have left keeping you on their rolls, or keeping records of your behavior even though you no longer believe as they do.

  We're Tired of organizations that you have left keeping you on their rolls, or keeping records of your behavior even though you no longer believe as they do. We want to give people the right to have your lives back. Welcome to the Church of the apostate, where we offer unbaptisms and ordinations with the right to unbaptize others as you wish. Our only belief is that you don't have to believe if you don't want to.

  The word apostate has become a derogatory term in many religions, we prefer the dictionary definition

  You've left. You don't have to define yourself as a Catholic, Muslim, Mormon, etc. With unbaptism, you don't even have to define yourself as an Ex-catholic, a recovering Mormon, or a recovering anything for that matter. You are now just you, heck you don't even have to define yourself as an apostate, or a member of our church, unbaptism is available to all who want it, Athiest, Christian, Muslim. You are just you.

  ok, so some org's won't give you your freedom, keep records, etc.

  so sometimes you need a religion to fight a religion, and this church can do that with debaptism, the only belief of the church of the apostate is that your old religion has no right to your information.

  here is a rough draft of the anti-church church that i'm trying to start, the only holy thing we have is towels for debaptism.

  a predatory jw paedophile micheal porter (uk) who has a 15 year record of abuse including the rape of his own baby but somehow evaded jail now is a member of my old congregation;wimbledon.

  words fail me, to think of the years of shunning that these idiots have heaped upon me even by my own family and this piece of shit was seen a this years memorial laughing and joking with the congregation.

  strange that this news story slipped passed me when it was broadcast by the british media in 2007..
