  Congratulations, Ray. It's fantastic that you were able to record it. I really hope the media pick up on it. Another nail in WT's coffin.

  Best of luck with the court case. Hope it all turns out as well as it can for you.

  Cheers,

  If you only use your home PC to connect to the net, sounds like your PC might be compromised. I always back up my passwords and stuff onto a flash disc, and access it from a non-web enabled netbook.

  Antivirus really is worth the money. I pay about £30 a year.

  I could never go back to christian denominations, but I might one day become a hindu. I like that it's peaceful, and teaches kindness to animals, and the gods look cool like pokemons. Plus, I don't think they proselytize.

  The big wrench for me was realizing there's no everlasting life. I think I bought into it for maybe about 2 years, then reality set in. I just don't see why I should devote 2 hours a week to go to church and praise something that isn't there. Now I just worship me. I am feckin awesome.

  Gotta be pre-1960, surely? Sounds way too uneducated to be a recent phrase.

  Family Worship

  by XBEHERE in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone else notice how the org is starting to equate family worship evening with an actual meeting.

  i do realize that was probably always their intention but lately i have noticed them grouping it with "...ministry, attendance at meetings...family worship..".

  they have the nerve to do that when one of the clearly stated reasons that they gave for disbanding the bookstudy was "increasing fuel costs" also spending an hour or more in some areas to travel to that hour long meeting essentially wasting time.

  Crystlew123, thanks for the post. I just downloaded it, and had a quick look. I think once I realised that the bible was horseshit, I could never be bothered to pick the bones out of it, but this will save me time, and allow me to take the piss out of my family without putting in much effort.

  Cheers, matey!

  A question for Athiests

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i really do not understand how any can be athiests from thinking real hard about it.

  how can you think everything on this earth just happened?.

  from my understanding, to be athiest, this is pretty much how it goes.

  If the world was perfect, and we were perfect, and the animals were perfect in the natural world, then you might have a tiny smidgin' of an argument. The fact that we are piss-poor from a design point of view kind of blows your point of view out of the water. If we (crap as we are in our mental capacity) can imagine a far better world, and biologists can imagine a better way that we could be made, it suggests that a creator made us 'badly' in the first place on purpose. If you need to know more about this subject, the answers can be found on the internet. Richard Dawkins has explained several times how if we were designed to be the pinnacle of god's creation, then we were designed by a kack-handed idiot. If you need quick answers, try youtubing 'richard dawkins design flaws' or something. I know there's a rather interesting video about the laryngeal nerve on a giraffe, and how it simply can't have been designed that way on purpose by a creator..... unless he wanted his work to look intentionally shoddy.

  The truth is out there.

  Really good post Momma- tossed- me. I'd never really given social media much thought. It's kinda like using a bus or using a supermarket.... it's become an integral part of our lives. Even my 70 yr old mum is considering getting a computer.

  I agree that the internet will be the death of the WT.

  I just hope it hurries up.
