Anyone interested in Fredrik Homer Robison may want to read “Color And Character: A Contemplation Of The Four Divine Qualities” published on LULU.com. It is a compilation of articles Robison wrote for The Golden Age in 1920 and 1921 and includes a biography of the man. It seems Robison had synesthesia and did not realize that most people did not perceive the world quite the same way he did.

Atheists - How Did You Become An Atheist After Waking Up?
by pale.emperor ini consider myself an atheist.
and right now i'm reading a lot on atheism in general (books written to answer creationists).. i'd be interested in knowing how you became an atheist after leaving the jws and how long did it take?
was it instant or did your belief in a deity gradually decline?.

It was a M I R A C L E !

Are you a woman? Do you know one?
by dubstepped inif you can answer yes to either question, you should consider listening to the latest episode of "shunned".
in it, brenda tells her story inside the flds cult, a story of women and what they go through.
this is happening right here in the united states.

Crazyguy asked, "Does anyone know or does the Bible state when the Jonah story supposedly happen?"
I'm not a "Bible scholar" but Wikipedia says, "Jonah is the name given in the Hebrew Bible to a prophet of Israel in about the 8th century BCE."
I think the WTB&TS teaches that Jonah lived last Thursday.

Watson observed, "Why does the boat's captain sound like an actor out of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"?"
Wait until you see NEXT YEAR'S video -- they're re-making "Cabin Boy" with a theocratic subtext!

Get baptised or die!
by AverageJoe1 inso it would seem that the wts are going back to their old scare tactics again, going by this week’s watchtower study.. loyal baptized ones will be preserved when the present wicked world meets its end.
(mark 13:10; rev.
7:9, 10) this makes dedication and baptism very important.

Death is natural, part of the great cycle of life.
Baptism is proof of a mental aberration, just like the "Billion-year contract" of the Scientologists.

I am proud to say that Grace Gough (Mouthy was her nick-name here) was a friend of mine. A gracious and kind woman who fought against cultic evil like a valkyrie! She will be remembered fondly.
I offer this challenge to those who thank Grace for her kindness to them: WHAT are YOU doing to "pay it forward"?
Be like the one who helped you.

Religion existed before human civilization. Homo sapiens is not the only species that is capable of fear and superstition, which are the mother and father of religion.
