most JDubs are completely ignorant of the news unless they get it in an email from another jdub or hear about it from the platform.

Ah, what awful timing!
by Psychotic Parrot intrust this to be in the news during the same month as the peace & security-based 'special talks'.
not a patch on the 1986 year of peace, but still, it'll get some j-dubs murmuring.
the volcano in iceland doesn't help either, seismic activity has always been a 'sign' for them.. http://news.sky.com/skynews/home/world-news/middle-east-peace-israel-under-pressure-from-us-over-settlement-growth/article/201004315608794?f=rss.

Some Atheists Like to Use the Analogy of a 'Crutch' for Religion
by leavingwt insome atheists like to use the analogy of religion being like a "crutch.".
dr. david eller suggests, below, that this is a poor analogy.
in my own, limited experience, his words ring true.

That's a poor analogy. You can't make your eyes work better by squinting just right, but you can make your brain work better by asking the right questions.

Notverylikely leans over to Terry and whispers "I scold a big cloud to reinvent."
Someone finally mentioned me without me telling someone else they were wrong. I guess you guys love me now... *sniff*

2010 - Year of the Governing Body?
by lepermessiah inlet me explain by what i am getting at without sounding like captain obvious!
i am actually excited about this since i think this could help assist a ton of people out of this organization!!.
i believe that the governing body is stepping up efforts to emphasize their unconditional rulership - every wt study article seems to make reference to their authority.

could someone tell me - succinctly - what the motivation is of the GB? Why do they do it? Are they being led by someone or something unseen?
Besides the power and life of ease?

Lifeforce v. Spirit and Star Trek and Stargate SG1?
by Cold Steel ini was just wondering about the jw concept of lifeforce v. spirit.. now i'm a big fan of stargate sg-1/atlantis and, to a lesser degree, star trek.
and the question i always had about the whole dematerialization and rematerialization process used in wormhole travel and beaming and such is this: if i understand it correctly, ever time you dematerialize, you're effectively killed, or cease to exist.
the version of "you" that steps onto the transporter or jumps into the wormhole gets completely zapped and the one that reappears on the other side is simply a perfect copy, with all the memories, feelings and so forth.

Many people in the first century were so convinced that they were will to die for their belief.
The suffered hardships, were persecuted, they did not have anythign to gain, but they BELIEVED that Jesus ressurected.
A shitload of Nazis died for their beliefs. Belief != anything

The MOST IMPORTANT Topic you will ever read!
by Terry inthe basis of christian belief was accidentally destroyed.
it was corrupted by the finest men who ever lived.. they acted with the noblest intentions.
(originals wore out and only the copies remained.).

I suspect that the MOST IMPORTANT topic ever discussed on the face of this planet would be the SEARCH for NEAR-EARTH objects - and whether we can successfully DEFLECT or STOP an ASTEROID FROM HITTING THE EARTH - AGAIN!!!
The most important topic is being prepared for the zombie invasion. Remember, go for a headshot and machetes never run out of ammo, but you are in snack range.
