An important difference between atheists and true believers
by Hortensia intrue believers, whether christian, muslim or whatever, want to convert you, they want you to believe what they do, and they're willing to go to extremes to make it happen.
atheists don't really care what you believe, and don't go out of their way to convert someone.. http://ow.ly/vn1jz an example of what believers in power do to suppress any difference in thought.
http://ow.ly/vraeo an example of why believers want to suppress different ideas (because they can't win in a fair fight, that's why).

I am not an atheist. Why am I not an atheist? Because I don't consider myself cool enough to associate with those who are atheists. I see atheism as an elite club of people who consider themselves to be superior to the rest of us. They talk in such absolute terms and use words that suggest they are really really smart. Perhaps they are, who am I to say?
To quote a line from Groucho Marx, "I would never want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member."
But by the way I think religion is a bunch of crap. So now you know where I stand.
So, I got my own stinkin problems and have no time or energy to enter the debate.

losingit: My girls' father wouldn't let them watch Frozen or take them to see the movie bc it had magic. Meanwhile he's out going to stripclubs. Hypocrite!
Sounds like he has his own cognitive dissonance issues.
Is all I got to say is what a F*Up religion.

It is never too soon to teach kids the concept of cognitive dissonance. Enjoying a movie about magic and making Jehovah sad are two strong emotions.

All appointed men are being told they have to pioneer now!
by stuckinarut2 inyes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.
they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.

I remember once our PO said something to the effect that all elders must poineer. This was the month of the memorial. I think most elders did poineer. I did not and was never talked to about my not pioneering.

It seems that the Sparlock video strikes a very hard line against magic. It did not seem to have room for negotiation (i.e. degrees of magic).
I feel sorry for the poor witness kid who is allowed to see Frozen and can't enjoy it because he or she feel so guilty for making Jehovah sad.

If someone refers to the "greek scriptures" is that a sign of JW indoctrination?
by scotoma ini recently had a casual conversation at a bar on the subject of atheism.
they used the expression "greek scriptures".
i didn't pursue it but it made me wonder..

I never knew anyone other than Witnesses that use the terms "Greek" and "Hebrew" scriptures. Perhaps this person sensed that you might be a witness and wanted to speak the talk. Otherwise, I suspect this person was or is a witness.
