I bet they would not have downgraded our debt if we had increased revenue. Figure it out, sometimes you have to make more money to pay off your credit cards. Only the tea-party thinks we can do it by spending alone.

Any 3.5 hour video is just a new cult indoctrination. I have always wanted an evangelical christian/ JW hybrid.....sounds like a fun person. Although they would be running on that new green fuel...BS

You're only an ATHEIST because of the abusive relationship you had with your former religion..?
by Velour inthe few times that i've had a chat about my atheism, i usually get a response like the one above.
"well, seeing how you were in a cult- i can understand why you're an atheist now," just dismissing the bulk of the reasons i have for my disbelief.. i think what is particularly awkward about someone telling me this is- it's part way true- only part way though.
however, they stop listening after i explain to them that, "yes, being in a cult was an impetus to my search" and they fail to hear the rest of what i'm saying and believe that i went from point a to point f and just skipped all the steps and months of research in between out of some kind of anti-jw tantrum.

It is funny, I ignored this post the first time around. So what happens? When I tell one of my friends that I dont believe in the bible anymore or in the idea of a personal god they tell me it is due to my abusive former religion. I almost laughed, because the JWN prophecy came true.
The one thing being an EX-Dub gives you is that desire to find 'truth' When you realize that truth is not out there in the other religions you are left with very few options.

Is the New Testament Just a Pagan Corruption of the Old Testament?
by Diest ini find myself asking that question more and more of late.. my first reason is the claim of a virgin birth.
all of the jewish sources i read say that isaiah 7:14 does not talk about a virgin birth, but rather a birth to a young maiden.
it was only the greek septuagint that shifted this belief to a virgin birth that is similar to their greek myths.. .

.. yep works every time .. break an equation down far enough and out pops old iir2.

587 B.C.E vs 607 B.C.E
by fade_away inthe latest oct. watchtower has an article that seems to be controversial amongst us "apostates.
" it's a long complicated article with tons of confusing names and dates, but in the end it sums it up and says:.
"to sum up: the bible clearly states that there was an exile of 70 years.

@Wonderment I agree that a trinity might be lacking but a binity seems very possible in the NT. I used to think the Trinity was total bunk based of the Trinity Brochure. Once I realized that half of the quotes were out of context, and misleading I had to give the issue a new look
@Rydor I have to agree. The NT writers are a giant mish-mash of poor OT understanding. One funny thing about the 'Virgin' Mary is that nowhere does she mention getting knocked up by God. She is always amazed at the things Jesus is doing these miracles even though God impregnated her. If God had impregnated you would you really be surprised that your offspring is in the temple preaching at age 12.....there are children of non divine origins that can do that. Wouldn't Mary just say, 'Ooo he gets that from his father?"
The more I read and think about the things I was taught as a kid the more foolish they seem.

Wikihehe - So the world can share laughter
by wikihehe inhow is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
politicians and diapers have one thing in common.
they should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.
