I have a lack of belief in God just as I have lack of belief in a million other things there are no evidence for: santa clause, fairys, leprechauns... I really don't need to be wasting my time on leprechauns.

Atheism = self defeating.
by towerwatchman inatheism = self defeating.
first may we define our terms.
the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

It seems that many witnesses simply dont care about facts?
by stuckinarut2 ini often wonder if the current crop of witnesses, especially the youth and younger ones simply don't care about facts?.
i mean for some, even with knowledge of the past scandals, misleading teachings, mistruths, etc etc, they simply don't care.
"it is the truth after all".. they are so intertwined in the operations and activities of the society, that they cant see anything outside of it.

Ignoring facts is the only way they can continue to believe the Lie.

This has been picked up for a second expanded series, perhaps starting this summer. The job she is continuing to do to expose the cult of Scientology is inspiring.

My new answer to an annoying question we have all been asked.
by doubtfull1799 inwell new to me anyway, i'm sure someone smarter than me has thought of this before.
the next time i get asked the perennial (and tired old) question: “but you do believe that the gb are god’s channel of communication, the organisation he is using, don’t you?” or some variation thereof, i am going to reply with two verses and reason as follows:.
the matter to be established: have the gb of jehovah’s witnesses received divine appointment to act as god’s representatives and channel of communication on earth?.

I know you intend to disassociate and its just a matter of timing as to when it occurs. When you are ready, it will be a good note to end on.

Trump. Why all the banter?
by punkofnice inthere is a lot of talk about the usa's new president, mr trump.
he seems to be like what they say about marmite, people either love him or hate him.
is there any middle ground?.

I read about Trump to distract myself from Brexit. If people who voted for Brexit only new how much they would have to hear about it afterward I think many of they would have voted Remain.

I'm from the UK. I have VERY strong feelings against the Trump administration. I didn't like Bush W but this is a whole order of magnitude worse. This isn't business as normal as far as I am concerned. Trump and his circle are an exception to business as usual. That is why when people compare him to Hillary it just doesn't work for me. You may not have liked her but she was just another politician. The benefit of the status quo is that at least you can go back to your life and politics recedes back into the background. That is never going to happen for as long as Trump and co are around.

new strategy to turn in your time in Japan
by yoko N injw.org stickers are passed around among publishers.one brother says "hey you can just turn in your time just driving around streets with this sticker on your car.
" the other side of this car ,(photo) there is a qr code sticker on it.. .

I can't quite believe it this is generally accepted practice. Surely it is just one brother's opinion. Was it an elder who said it?
It would be crazy if you could just go to the supermarket or to work and count all your time as being on the service. just because you have a sticker on the car.

Interesting thing at the end of the video was that there was a different jw child abuse case pending which the Watchtower decided to settle just a few days after this trial ended.

Apart from the classics of The Sound of Music, Caberet, My Fair Lady,, Singing in the Rain - I also like the more naturalistic variety of John Carney music based movies of Once and Sing Street. The Commitments was also fun too.
