7th Day Adventists came to my house... it was weird
by sabastious inso i get a knock on the door and a minister from a local 7th day adventists is at my doorstep.
it felt very much like a witness.
he asked me about my life and how things were going and if i was a christian.. i explained to him that i gave up christianity a while back and he asked why.

Were You Happy That Jack Barr Of The GB Died?
by minimus ini read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".
she's an intelligent woman.
however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).

drunkeness and jw's
by man in black inthis afternoon i was just trolling the internet, and i went onto the official jw website just to look around.. well, some of the pictures / articles were quite amazing in their sheer ignorance of facts.. one of the most amazing ones for me, (it actually made me laugh out loud while shaking my head in disbelief) is titled: .
have you ever wondered .
.how should a christian view drunkenness?.

Our PO was a drunk and so was his drunken son/elder. But like everything in JW land it is who you are and who you know...

What happens when you contact wbts HQ
by Archimendes inhi all,.
what sort of responses do people actually get when you write to brooklyn hq to query subjects like their quote mining and other dubious uses of sources.
i am currently having a bit of a 'discussion' on a popular nz mb with 3 or 4 current jw who are having a hard time accepting that the quotes from their latest pamphlets on evolution, among others are taken out of context, its got to the point where the only answer they are willing to give is to take it up with borg central.. if i actually physically mailed them a letter with a large portion of attached documents, would i get an actual response, photocopies of articles, or filed under wicked slave?.

Bristol Palin and her typical black & white right-wing / religious mindset
by Simon inso, bristol palin is through to the final on dancing with the stars even though it's obvious to everyone with half a brain that she doesn't deserve to be based on her dancing.
she's there simply because the obsessive palin fundies are voting for her.. i thought it was interesting listening to her describe people who think she shouldn't be there as "the haters".. what black and white thinking and typical of the religious / right-wing mentality.
people can't have an opinion that is based on reality and see that better dancers were voted off while she stayed way past her skill level warranted.

"Perfect weekend"??? I would go out in service saturday morning dread every step and every knock of the door praying no one would answer. Finally it was over 2 hours seemed like 2 days. Would get home and start counting the hours till the next saturday...so not only a crappy weekend but would ruin my whole week till the next saturday...

OH believe me when I say they DO celebrate Thanksgiving...One thursday in the 4th week of November I'm invited to dinner at a pioneer sisters house with her family and some of the friends from the hall. Well I'm thinking I do have the rest of the week off from work why not...Now I had spurned my worldly families requests to attend thanksgiving dinner for years telling them how it would displease Jehovah to celebrate worldly holidays...
I arrive at the pioneers house for dinner **did I mention it was on the 4th thursday in November** I walk into the house and what I see but a full on decked out THANKSGIVING dinner, turkey, mashed potatoes cranberry sauce the whole 9 yards...I was stunned and shocked but I did not leave and felt such the fool when I left...

Friedman's "Who really wrote the bible"
by bohm inyesterday i began reading friedmans "who really wrote the bible" and it is a deeply satisfying experience.
i was looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the book, in particular, i am very interested in how it conflict with the typical wt explanation of how the bible came to be (which i find very confusing; i think its very hard to figure out how, exactly, the wt view the history of this periode), how usefull it has been in terms of reasoning with jws, and experiences in general.. to kickstart, here is what the book has given me:.
i have generally looked at the bible in a way i now see as quite naive, namely as a collection of more or less conflicting stories that made very little sence.
