Reaching Out to my ExJW Cousin
by fallen_princess ini am sure many of us have had experiences while we were active jws where we were often discouraged from talking to worldy or disfellowshipped family members regardess of occasion or circumstance.
i was always told not to communicate with one of my cousins who, along with her husband had faded back in the 90's and are now off celebrating christmas, birthdays and such.
she has been the victim of many a snub and all out unkindness from various family members, including me.

Bemused...
by dozy ingot chatting to an old jw friend last night that i haven't spoken to for years & caught up with a lot of old gossip.
he is still active - high-up - knows the fault lines in the jw system but stays because he "doesn't know where else to go" & it works ok for him & his family.
whatever floats his boat... anyway........he told me a piece of news that totally floored me.... a jw in london has run off with another sister & been dfd.

Past Organized Attempts to Level the Playing Field with WTBTS
by Band on the Run ini am new to jw dissidents.
a couple of weeks ago i created a post asking what attempts have been made in the past to organize some opposition.
personally, i don't feel it would be fruitful to challenge the wt first amendment benefits.

I would love to money for raise anti-watchtower adds. Why not post the awake with all the dead kids on a bilbord...or something similar that is less likely to get our apostate org suited. It seems that there is more we can do in a PR sense, to make the witnesses less likely to get new recruits and make others look at them in a more foolish light than they already do.
PR is our best hope, but the internet alone will not solve the issue.

"Who created the intelligent creator?"
by mankkeli indid the complexity of life arise spontaneously, or did it require a creator?christians believe that a creator is essential.
scientists believe that the idea of a "creator" is pure mythology, and that the complexity arose through natural processes like evolution.
you can actually answer this question yourself with a little logic.

@Sam Even if I don’t have to answer to a higher power I still have to answer to those around me. There is a great sense of right or wrong without god.
Why was my atheist friend fired for whistle blowing on her evangelical boss's fraud?
Satan didn’t mislead him and God didn’t tell her what is right. She did what is right because she knows what is right. We all have the power of thought. If the only reason you are not stealing, or killing is because you think you will be punished by some God then what kind of person are you?
I don’t steal, because I would not want it done to me. That is not the golden rule that 'jesus' came up with. It was stated long before him and will be stated long after him.
If people are so weak that they need the thought of 'god' to make them behave, and not their own brainpower, then I don’t want them around. I want people to be good because they know it is right, and they want to be treated fairly.

Looks like Caral Sagan said what I was thinking....just 1000 time better. Either way an all powerful being always existed, or and all powerful singularity existed...you have to have faith at some point. At least the singularity doesnt care if I have sex out of wedlock.

Sac-town. Why would the universe need a beginning, maybe the big crush theory is right. The universe expands then contracts and goes back into itself. They cycle continues.
I don’t think saying a creator is the only possibility makes any more sense than there was a beginning with a universe. Either way I have to believe that the creator or the universe always existed.
Personally I lean toward a less definable higher power, but that is mostly intuition. I don’t think anyone can now, or will know. If there is a good I don’t think he talks to us, and you can't prove there is one.

Universal Sovereignty
by dontplaceliterature infirst, a bit of background:.
i was recently in a discussion about the possibility of life outside of earth, on distant planets with two jehovah's witness friends of mine.
both seemed skeptical.

Well based on the fact that Jehober can only keep 37% of his born-ins around I say Satan has won this fight. Does that mean Satan wins the prize? Only seems fair that he gets to keep the earth.

Does mankind need religon to have morality?
by highdose inan arguement i've encountered recently is: god tells us right from wrong.
if you don't have a reason to do right instead of wrong then no one will have any morals.. i disagree with this entirely of course.
what kind of morality is it when you are only doing what is right out of fear of being punished for doing what is wrong?.

I feel bad for all of the runaway slaves who will burn in hell for violating pauls words about obedience to their masters....I can't think of a more moral book than the bible
'God' must have special place in hell for Harriet Tubman and Spartacus.
