I have often said that BAPTISM is the first step in becoming an XJW, but I think the first step in any person becoming an atheist is listening to a theologian of any persuasion and coming to the conclusion "This is bullshit."

Christian or Atheists?
by Skipper254 inin my brief time on this site, i've come to realize that most people who have been shunned or stray away from the jehovah witnesses normally end up having no faith at all.
my curiosity has led me to the conclusion that the gb has created more atheists than believers...... .

Here's my two-cents:
How would you react if the video showed a JW "speaking out" in churcg during the funeral of Senator John McCain?
I think you'd agree it would have been outrageous.
What is outrage for the goose is outrage for the gander.
I think I understand the personal pain that might drive a person to do this, but I doubt that it accomplishes anything other than reinforcing the notion among the JWs that they are being "persecuted" because they are "True Christians."
Don't do this.

Hi Observer217, do you mind if I call you Don?
First, my condolences on the deaths of your parents.
I noticed, "We are fast approaching [the] 28th Anniversary [of]... the Y.O.R.W.W. Congregation, a name that means “Yah Our Righteousness World Wide.” This group started in the spring of 1991, with the formation of 16-members, all Ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves, all gathered together for the exact same purpose, namely to serve Jehovah God, in “spirit and truth,” away from the APOSTASY brewing among the kingdom halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses, as Jesus recommended and exemplified in his life..."
Don, I've often wondered, because I think - maybe I'm mistaken - that one other name by which your group was known is (or was) "Two Witnesses Must Come"; if YOU, Donald C. Burney, are one witness, who is witness #2?
Thanks for your time.
Try to be more open with your prospective audience and don't cloak yourself in such mystery and obfuscation.

Iran vs. Israel - could it be the beginning of Armageddon?
by tartarus ini have recently read in the news that an attack on iran is planned sometime after the olympics in beijing.
here's a bit of background to it:.
when irans fledgling democracy was overthrown with support of cia the shah of iran was giving israel free oil thru a pipeline that still runs thru saudi arabia to a refinery in the israeli city of haifa.

This thread is ELEVEN YEARS OLD!!!
What does that tell you?
Repeat after me: "There will be wars, and rumors of war, but Armageddon is an IMAGINARY metaphysical event and will NEVER happen."
When Planet X re-enters the plane of the ecliptic, collides with earth and makes stardust of it, even THAT will not be Armageddon! It is interesting to me that the real-world likelihood of the event I describe is vanishingly small, especially during our lifetimes, it is INFINITELY greater than the likelihood of Armageddon, yet people are eager to put their money on the horse named "Flight of the Imagination."
Sorry to disappoint you.

Enjoyed the Memorial
by ScottyRex inprobably not a popular opinion on here....and haven't been actively attending meetings since 1988....(i know i know a submarine attender) however thoroughly enjoyed attending this evening...was good to see lots of people i remember whilst growing up in this faith, they were genuine and the whole atmosphere was one of love.
sure if i suddenly wanted to become active again and didn't change my lifestyle they would drop me like a bomb.....however i haven't and won't and they didn't and don't.
this works for me.. i cannot demonize the witnesses on what i have seen tonight.

A Must Read Update on WBTS and Darkspilver from reddit
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inmany of us know that watch tower (yes, two words in this case) has issued a subpoena to reddit to try to gain darkspilver's identity due to accusations of copyright infringement:.
tl;dr: on april 9, watch tower filed a response to the eff's motion to quash (filed march 26) regarding the subpoena submitted to reddit in an attempt to find /u/darkspilver's identity.. the wt response is publicly available here as a pdf, from the site court listener.. a number of other documents relating to the case are available on the same site, here.. and the eff's motion to quash is available on the eff's website here.. details: as i'm sure many of us know, watch tower (yes, two words in this case) has issued a subpoena to reddit to try to gain /u/darkspilver's identity due to accusations of copyright infringement.
specifically, watch tower is claiming copyright infringement for two things: first, darkspilver posted the back page of the november 2018 watchtower which was an article entitled "what gift can we give to jehovah?” which explained how to donate.
