  EX JW Podcast

  by snare&racket in

  2. friends

  i am setting up a podcast (radio show) where we will cover the issues of jw's, amongst the topics of science, belief and more.. i am letting you guys know because i would like to interact with the forum as we do them, looking for suggestions for topics, looking for guest ideas and also we can mask voies and change names, so interviewing current jw's to help provide people a voice, an outlet for their frustration whilst providing a safety net.

  there is no hierarchy, but current elders, bethelites etc that contribute here already will be more than welcome and protected!.

  the podcast will be pro science, i will have both atheist and theist co-presenters in the episodes but i can't deny my bias towards evidence and science, but hopefully it should be enjoyable and informative for us all.. i plan for it to be about 2hrs long, maybe an episode a month or every 2 or 3 weeks.

  it's a quiz to help you pick a conspiracy theory that fits you.

  i ended up with "moon landing was faked" which doesn't exactly apply.. .

  I plan for it to be about 2hrs long, maybe an episode a month or every 2 or 3 weeks. It will be recorded interviews and maybe in the future a live stream so it can be interactive with skype etc.

  So yes, let me know wha you think... and plenty of suggestions...

  Guests?

  Topics?

  Name for the show?

  Ideas for a format?

  Anybody want to help out with the show or with a supporting website? (Again it can be done in a way so you are anonymous but have the means to help!)

  its just a silly little fun link, and be careful DJS, conspiracies do happen and ruling out any information off hand is dangerous....

  May be regrettable saying this, but conspiracies do happen.... it is difficult to filter the good info out, bit there is good data in them.

  Do I believe that they had live, from the moon, video footage back in 69........nope.

  Do I belive those moon photos were NOT heavily edited and doctored for propoganda.....nope.

  Do I believe americans have played golf on the cheese rock....yes.

  ....every form of government there is?.

  the watchtower claims this is why armageddon hasn't come yet....apparently ol' j-man is showing how awful man is at governing himself.

  The second he said to adam and eve... "out the garden, lets see how you do!"

  He immediately made them imperfect, he made them want to sin, he made them ill and he gave them urges he says you can't have. He made it hard to feed your family and work the ground, he made it hard to have children. He made animals and the very earth hostile.

  How exactly is this a fair comparison to what the story claims is gods alternative? its like asking someone to race you, then just as they leave the starting blocks, tripping them up and stamping on their ankle to break it..... and then his fans shouting 'see god is faster! no he isnt cheating, he is god, he can di what he wants! how dare adam use his free will and say yes to racing him!"

  It is a flawed story. A combination of terrible explinations for the world around us and world history that when combined obviously dont make sense, because its b.s.!

  Want to know why people accept evolution ?

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you have questions about or want to understand evolution?

  it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.

  we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .

  quantum physics, largely theoretical math, yet to be tested beyond hypothesis as we are only now entering the age of testing theoretical physics with CERN etc, though exciting and interesting has no place in any hair brained ideas of non physicists. It is embarassing!

  "Oooh a big word that sounds fancy and few people understand, lets make some shit up!"

  Protect yourselves with knowledge, here is a little piece to asd to your bag, physicists themselves say and I quote...

  "Anybody claiming to understand quantum physics, doesn't understand quantum physics."

  So anyone making claims on an area of science the experts dont yet know much about, is being wholly dishonest and why tag onto an area not yet explored? Because it is easier to decieve people that way...... When biologists confirmed and decoded DNA, to this day you have loons claiming it is a written language proving god! When physicists sent people to space, cults sprang up with alien leaders and to this day you can meet people who claim alien experiences... new developments in science always come with cling ons looking to get noticed in the haze of ignorance....

  Are my children in danger of being indoctrinated if I let them spend the night with their JW family?

  by Butterflyleia85 in

  so... i'm writing because i have mixed feelings.

  keeping my kids safe is my goal... until they are old enough to understand and reason on their own.

  my mother gave me the tapes (that i gave her back in december) of combating mind control by steven hassan, saying that she didn't have a tape player... reminded me of three years ago when i gave her crisis of conscience by ray franz and she said it's to big book to read and she's not a reader.

  family is important. give them an opportunity to share time with your kids, but with strict rules not to preach or teach JW ideas to them at all.
