I sat through the WT this past Sunday and honest to God, lost a half-dozen IQ points.
That was exactly my sensation too. Otherwise I cannot explain how could I endure for 2 years being a dub.

On Human Evolution
by TD init's a subject that comes up fairly often here (understandably) and very strong opinions are expressed.
much of the discussion seems to be counterproductive.. i'd like to propose a different approach.
we all know what each other's conclusions are (or at least we should by now).

Yea, Perry you speak like you invented the matchbox! Man, it has already been discussed thousands of times in academies, in universities, in forums, in scientific communities. What you brought here is old light! What, you want a course in carbon dating calibration and radiometrics? No one said there is not someone or something who created the Universe, because we don't know that. All we are saying is that the goddamn Universe and this planet exist since a few billion years ago. That life on the planet began more than 3 billion years ago. That comets and asteroids carry with them the seeds of life through the Universe, not Jehovah. This is the new light. It is anno Domini 2011, the third millenia after the birth of an imaginary figure called Jesus, wake up! And between you an me, those "scientists" who deny evolution are not really scientists...

All pictures were hilarious. I also liked the jokes. Here's an old one:
OBVES: - You guys, last night God appeared to me in a dream! He told me: OBVES, my prophet, I will send you to preach high and low and to teach them the meaning of my prophecies.
Larsinger: - Awesome! He also came to me in my dream and told me: Lars, my black gay Messiah, I will send you during the endtimes to prophecy, to perform wonders and to gather a large crowd who will pass into the new world.
ESTE: - Bullshit! I swear I didn't sent any of you!

If you sleep you cannot be bored. We had a Romanian Academy member (Camil Bujor Muresanu) as history teacher during University. He had such a nice voice that we fell asleep many times when he narrated about the old times. An awesome teacher nevertheless. It was just like my granpa telling me a bedtime story.
The difference is I could never sleep at JW conventions because those speakers did not have the charm. They radiated a special type of boredom, one that keeps you awake and robotized. Being bored and awake is a pain.
During weekends, I watch on TV some Orthodox religious service from some church. I fall asleep almost immediately! They are boring in a constructive way! The JW sermons are boring in a distructive way: it's impossible (for me) to fall asleep on them.

For cryin' out loud! The Universe contains within forces and quantities that can stagger even the most exuberant imagination. I'm not saying it does not have a creator. Let's assume it was created by a tremedously intelligent and powerful entity. My question is, again: was this creature not able to come with something more precise, documented, plausible, pertinent, intelligent piece of literature than the Bible??? This God of yours, Perry, looks like a cow who gives a bucket of milk and when it's full it empties it's bladder in it.

I can't believe I was so stupid! I drove 160 km/day for 3 days in order to get myself bored to death by the ramblings of a person who probably only saw a University in pictures or in movies. And at that time I thought that was the Truth! I sould be jailed for stupidity! I'm glad however I had a quick awakening. I just wasted 2 years and even those were not quite completely wasted. I met many beautiful sisters during that time.

Perry, you are threading on dangerous grounds here, so please do not take the whole cream-bowl into your own pie. Scientists have not yet uncovered the big truth about the Big Bang and they are still begining to understand the energy of nothing. By God, just some years ago they were unaware of the existance of exotic matter, or dark matter or anti-matter. No one knows what was before the Big-Bang and what created that unspeakable density of matter that was the primordial egg. But do you REALLY think that a being (if indeed there was a counscient being) capable of compressing quadrillions of gigatons into a cube centimeter of space has left us as proof of his existence a childish and erroneus and heterogenous book known as the Bible, written by men "under inspiration"? For f...k's sake, this being could have written it's name in plain Latin alphabet using galactic clusters as letters!!!
So don't say it yourself and don't quote anyone saying that there was nothing before Big-Bang. It might be true! But we don't know and even scientists do not know for sure. And in either case, what's your point?
Since when is 1 Timothy (and the whole goddamn book) an authority in the field of science???!!! So why are you quoting from it?

I'm an expert when it comes to burning JW literature. Yes, they are a royal pain in the butt. They take a lot of time and effort to ignite. They burn harder than newspapers and you have to shuffle them with a stick or something in order to bring some oxygen between pages. While they burn they tend to break into black ashy patches the size of a fingernail, or even larger, and they fly on the lightest air current. My literature's ashes landed in an area of around 50 meters around the burning place because there was a little wind last time. I obtained better results when I left them slowly burning in a pile under some vegetal remains. It took the whole night, but in the morning they were consumed and the wind could not ravish them.
