  U.S. Army admits to widespread cultural pedophilia in Afghanistan

  by RottenRiley in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  my atheist, agnostic and deist family members, why don't we attack this insanity more?

  dr. richard dawkins is finally calling out islam for it's true nature, i hope he is balanced because i don't want him to get killed by these whack jobs.

  i enjoy listening to dr. dawkins debate and would like him to attack their false religion like he lambaste's christians, i guess it's a tight-wire act he must follow or they would kill him.

  many nations in the world had socialist governments - Australia included

  Actually, when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in December of 1979, Australia's Prime Minister was Malcolm Fraser:

  - and a socialist he most definitely was not!

  And also it should be remembered, borders were vague ideas,

  And in the case of Afghanistan, these still are vague ideas, as is the very idea of a such a "geo-political unit" as Afghanistan.

  Its central government never has excercised much control over the regions, certainly no more than each local ruler allowed it to have:

  - a situation making the place all but ungovernable.

  Also, when you have such major population groups as the Pashtuns resident on both sides of an imaginary line designated "border" - a line that is crossed by few roads, but many thousands of unpoliced mule tracks - the term "border" comes to mean very little!

  nobody has ever been able to control Afghanistan for any period of time.

  Very true, and this was the case well before the advent of Islam, too:

  - like so many since, the Graeco-Macedonian armies of Alexander the Great (circa 332 BC) conquered the place, but never held it for very long.

  In his arrogance, George W. Bush probably figured he was somehow different. (Or perhaps in his ignorance, he had no knowledge of Afghanistan's long track record of chewing up invaders, and then spitting them out?)

  Jehovah's Witnesses Say They Are The Most Educated In The World. How Would You Prove Otherwise?

  they claim their schools, literature and teaching are far more superior than any "worldly" education.

  how would you counter that belief?.

  Their "schools, literature and teaching" are indeed excellent:

  - if you were aspiring to nothing more than a diploma in idiocy!

  Free Will - What a Joke !

  by cookiemaster in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  everytime i hear jw's talking about free will, i either feel the urge to burst in laughter or feel sick.

  each publication keeps talking about how wonderful jokehova is for giving us free will.

  the only small thing is that he'll kill you if you don't do exactly what he says.

  Did You Ever Learn Anything From The Meetings?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found the meetings to be especially boring from the late 1980s on.

  before that, we actually tried to make people want to listen.

  the meetings were pretty interesting.

  I learned very little, apart from how to be a religious fanatic. Thankfully, I had little difficulty unlearning that bull$#it.

  Why Is Alcoholism Deeply Embeded In JW Culture?

  by RottenRiley in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we get plenty of company men passing through our circuit, often filled with misinformation and lugging around a suitcase of guilt, they bring more guilt to the weak while praising the braggart pioneers and slapping the "righteous over much" elders.

  why are the wrong people getting praise in this distorted community?

  i know for a fact many of the elders i served with have issues with alcoholism, when "brother guilt" brought his emotional hurricane through our circuit, i had the chance to eat and help pay for his "seven shots of tequila", both him and his wife were not immune to over-indulgences.

  I was introduced to alcohol by the brother who "brought me into the truth", as JWs like to say. And oh, boy, did I prove to be a a quick learner!

  Further to never a jw's remarks, the district I grew up had a rather notorious reputation for alcohol abuse. Even if drinking amongst the JWs was "no worse than the population in general", that would still put them well inside the category of heavy boozers.

  Why Do Some Ex-JWs Get Their Feelings Hurt So Badly By Shunning?

  by RottenRiley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i ran in to a ex-jw and had a good laugh once he realized i was not going to shun him.

  i am a different soul when we are dealing with watchtower demonology, everything about the organization is fan boy based.

  watchtower creates the illusion of a community that never existed, we were too blind to realize most of the people we invested time with was nothing more than a farce, once you can't offer up more sacrfices on the watchtower's alter, your going to get less attention and eventually if your kingdom hall is big enough, they won't come looking for you.. .
