The title would be more accurate if it were "the 10 books most-CLAIMED to have been read".

Just some personal ramblings. Move on if you want to argue.
by OnTheWayOut inokay, first of all: i like the earth, the polar bears, the whales, and any other part of the planet that someone wants to help.
i appreciate any efforts that people exert.
the planet is going through global warming and pumping exhaust from automobiles and factories and other sources does contribute to the global warming.

Fantastic post, OTWO. You've helped me compartmentalize some ideas I've been debating myself.

The earth is as old as it is :) If that is five million years, then it is five million years.
Not trying to start a debate, Tammy, but was that a typo or does this mean you distrust the results of radiometric dating, among other independent lines of evidence that indicate the earth is billions of years old?
Bear in mind I don't think any idea deserves blind faith, either, but that's why I love science - because to be accepted, theories have to survive a gauntlet of scrutiny by top specialists in the field.
From my shallow-PBS-understanding of it, the best estimates are around 4.54 billion years, but we should be able to at least get the minimum age of the earth by dating the oldest rocks/crystals. Both the earth and the moon's oldest rocks come in between 4.3-4.5 billion using multiple dating techniques. While there is room for a small percentage of error, it would seem to me that we should be able to count 4.5b years as a minimum age. (http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/geotime/age.html)
Working backwards through evolutionary history would take us far more than 5 million years back as well but that's another subject...

Here's the thing. Nobody actually cares about sparlock. It's a meme only to us.
by JonathanH inat first the sparlock thing was just a cute little diversion.
the icon of an amusingly out of touch cheaply produced dvd.
somehow it has spiralled into a kind of focal point of society bashing.

Jon, you make some valid points. We have a shared bias that makes Sparlock significant to this forum, which is no surprise, but yeah most of the world will remain indifferent, if not ignorant of him. And I have no delusions that it will lead to a mass exodus among JWs.
Having said that, I think Sparlock could be a tipping point for a few fence-sitters. Who of us didn't have a lightbulb moment that led to clicking the link to JWN, JWFacts, or Freeminds instead of WT.org?
My tipping point was the discovery of Jerusalem's 586/587BCE destruction on Wikipedia. For my wife, it was the blood issue and some comments she heard at the annual "medical directive" service meeting. Not everyone shares the same tipping point. The WT's UN connection did nothing for me but I understand it did for others. The 607BCE chronology did nothing for my wife. But in both cases - despite having different triggers - the scales were eventually tipped in favor of doubt. An accumulation of small doubts helped us get there and one put us over the edge.
I think Sparlock will generate the spark that some need to start thinking critically. I've got a few old buddies who I am almost certain will watch the video with WTF written on their faces. Maybe it won't set them to googling Ray Franz before the credits roll but I'm hoping it will at least be another straw.

Damn, I'm disappointed. From the subject, I thought maybe you'd received a SMS from God approving the use of concubines [again] or something.
Thanks for all your diligent work, nonetheless, Atlantis.

EE: So again, who dosent think the borg will sue for copywrite infringment over this....?
Filing a cease & desist with YouTube is one thing... but I can't see WTBTS suing YouTube users over this. That would generate some negative publicity and draw further attention to this kid's Kool Aid video, which I suspect they wouldn't want.
Here's my guess: They intended this video for devout followers. It would make a harsh intro for potential recruits who are curious about JW beliefs. I'm sure they can imagine how ridiculous it would seem to outsiders. They also want dubs to be excited about it at the DC, like UUN said. We're ruining their party. And you can be sure they don't like the kind of light we're casting on it.

My demon experience
by SweetBabyCheezits inone recent afternoon, me and a buddy were taking a trek around a nearby neighborhood and made our way past a delapidated house that had all the familiar symptoms of being haunted.
he suggested we check it out so, of course, we did.
it looked like it had been abandoned probably 30-40 years earlier but the previous owners had left behind a small coffee table.

Jo-Jo: lol, I dont recall a broom with arms that used its straws as legs and a giant talking mouse. it was not animated and not on tv. dogma
sarcasm
In the interest of not further derailing the 'Richard Dawkins is agnostic' thread, I'm bringing your post over here to reply.
Jo-Jo: Go back to your demon thread and re-read everything I wrote, I am getting tired of mouth feeding you...
Gahh, sicknasty. Couldn't you have said you were spoon-feeding me?
...and pointing out dogma even though you clearly dont have a clue what dogma is, or the difference between dogma and science.
Clearly. So you say astrophysicist Carl Sagan was naive and you think it's dogma when I assert that unexplained phenomena should just be labeled unexplained? But you insist that unexplained phenomena could well be labeled paranormal if Jo-Jo can't explain a perception he had as a child? (How old again? You never said.)
And we can't question your label of paranormal because it happened in the past... so we can't test it and you are aware of no current scientific explanations that would fit, ergo.... paranormal?
In a nutshell, I had believed in spirites and demons, I had believed because I found the occultists explanations vague and not logical,
Wait, you believed in "spirites [sic] and demons" because the explanations were vague and illogical? But now you reject those ideas?
...I came to the conclusion that I dont know, get it I DONT KNOW lol,...
Man, that's what I've been suggesting the entire time. So what exactly are we debating? Would you agree that unexplained doesn't equal supernatural or paranormal? It just means unexplained, right? So "I don't know" is the right answer to this riddle. You win, Joe!
...yet in regards to the current sciences of this phenomena are not satisfying or explains what I fully experienced, not paralyses nor schizophrenia or anything that I have read.
Man, I hope it wasn't paralysis.
You eliminated a couple of possible natural explanations. That's a good start. Butjust because something is outside the realm of your understanding doesn't mean it is outside of the natural universe.
Again you shift the goal post.
Now I think you're just repeating things you've heard other people say.

2012 August Public WT and the Obliteration of Logic
by Yan Bibiyan innew august public wt is online.. the first article addresses miracles and tries to refute common objections if miracles are possible.
i won't bore you with the details, please see for yourself the blatant disregard of science, documented events, etc...however, in conclusion the article states:.
pg.6: "...so, then, are there such things as miracles?.

Lol, Was!
Ironic quote of the month goes to a sentence in the article Jehovah Hates Injustice:
"Jehovah made it clear that those in positions of authority must never misuse their power."
