slimboyfat... that's makes the Awake magazine all that much more amazing. That little pamphlet is getting smaller and smaller and it still rivals a college education.

I'm not so sure about the scientologists. It is actually a pretty small group overall. I think the last number I heard was like 50,000.

What's really arrogant is someone saying "I have all the right answers." I don't claim to have all the right answers. JW's are so obsessed with having an answer and their version of the "truth" being right. They can't see the irony that what was once a undisputed fact in their minds, could easily be replaced by changing doctrine. Then having the balls to come out and say they have the "truth" is arrogance of the highest order.

I would think Mormon's would be higher on the list. I guess they aren't totally isolationist like the JW's are.

by Phizzy inin zions watchtower 1896 december 15th, russell's comment on an article in the n.y observer which rightly cast doubt on the imminent formation of a jewish state in these words:.

Could you imagine if the chance made about 1914 teaching happened during the time of the internet?
"Yeah so 1914 wasn't the start of the great tribulation... it was... it was the start of the last days. Yeah! That's the ticket!"
"Well where is Jesus? You said he was going to return in 1914."
"Yeah he did return... but it was invisibly. Yeah you can't see him. He's totally there though."

My story so far
by brainmelt ini've been trying to avoid posting this, due to extreme paranoia but its time to post my story.
i hope to not post too many details, as we've avoided being df so far, our group elder was young and lovely and cool and i just hope that in time he learns the ttatt.. i'm a regular lurker on here, occasional poster (i can't post much as my phone browser only lets me read but not post, so i only post on the odd occasion i get a time alone on the pc).
i have been fading since round about last september ( so almost my first anniversary of learning ttatt).

Are JWs creationists?
by Jeffro inif you believe what is officially stated on the jw website, jws are not creationists.
.
the fact that the exact jw belief is in fact specifically called "day-age creationism" seems to have alluded them.

They mean that they aren't young earth. Although they sort of shift back and forth on this it seems.

researching polytheism of the Jews
by DeWandelaar ini was researching the history of the jews and in wikipedia it is said that in origin the jews were polytheists by default and became monotheist in a later period of time.
i was not aware of this (neither do many others) and am therefore putting some of my findings here:.
first of all the obvious things.

The old testament makes a lot more sense when you look at it in the context of polytheism.
