  I showed my stepson a pbs youtube video for kids about logical fallacies and my wife found out

  she told him to never watch that video again, which of course is going to make him even more curious about it, which is exactly what i wanted to happen.

  i am giddier than a schoolgirl right now.

  even the watchtower propaganda says to be careful and respectful with questioning teens and middle-schoolers in the congregation, and she comes up and does the opposite.

  PBS = PUBLIC BROADCASTING from SATAN.

  Nature shows that mention EVOLUTION.

  Shows about USING YOUR BRAIN TO THINK ABOUT THINGS.

  Sesame Street features THE COUNT who is a BLOODSUCKING MATHEMATICIAN.

  My mother would make me turn off PBS too when shows started talking about evolution; and when I was really young, she would turn off Sesame Street if "the Count" came on because he "drank blood."

  Is the Bible God's word? Help please.....

  by Freeandclear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so real quick, i know this comes up now and then and i've looked over some of the posts from the past but here's the thing.. when i was a jw i drank all the cool aid, i was 100% and so i have all my own arguments (from the jw's) for why the bible is inspired.

  i no longer believe this but i'd really like to read something that is pretty much 100% academic on this subject.

  i want to read what scholars have to say about the authenticity of the bible and it's claim at being the inspired word of god.

  slimboyfat Robert M Price the Bible Geek he is the best! I've listened to all his podcasts.
  And don't forget his lesser known podcast The Human Bible!

  The Human Bible is also an excellent podcast. A little better "production values" than Bible Geek, but the information in both is great. He also seems like a good guy (had an email exchange with him a couple years back).

  xjwsrock I heard about this book on a podcast I plan to read -
  God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction
  by Dan Barker

  I was thinking of ordering this book myself. Looks like an interesting read.

  I've also enjoyed listening to "The Bible Geek" podcast.

  so some may have read the long and boring post about our last vacation and some of the things that my wife came to tell me during our time away.

  i am adding the link here but i can summarize it for time's sake.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5768475763015680/vacation-time-reality-closing-up-on-my-wife.

  in a nutshell, right before we left, we found out of a jw couple we know well.

   Having No Political Opinion Is Bull Crap

  by Ame SF in

  hello, i'm ame and after such heartwarming feedback last time from my other topic sharing my current situation, i felt the urge to just share an experience of mine that accrued a few weeks ago.. i was at mcdonalds with my mother and little brother, eating our food and in the background was the news playing on the tvs they had in the dining area.

  and what were they talking about on the news?.

  gun control.. now, i love the news.

  Sweden. Guns are illegal in Sweden, but yet they have a higher crime rate than america.

  Umm. . . . somehow I doubt this.

  Kevinly Class Activism - Brilliant!

  by konceptual99 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is great.

  i'd love to see this at brighton in a couple of weeks.... "i'm of the kevinly class" or "praise kevin" would be a great way of letting any activist know there are those awake that know what they are doing.

  Well done!

  I think that was the perfect way to go about it.

  Non-confrontational, just let it sink in after they watch that POS video the next day.. . . .

  Change(s?) to revised nwt

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i don't think this has been picked up anywhere yet.

  the revised nwt released in 2013 is already out of date.

  the second half of psalm 51:4 now reads "therefore, you are righteous when you speak, you are right in your judgment" in the online version where the printed version reads "so that you might prove righteous when you speak, and be right in your judgment".. fairly unimportant in itself, but i wonder what else has been changed without telling anyone..

  See Exodus 34:14 (NNWT).
