Spouting statistics isn't going to get anyone anywhere.
"OMG! 1.4 million Americans have been murdered with guns since the 60's!"
Murder was already illegal, wasn't it? Why were there murders when it was against the law?

john cedars has posted his latest blog "the trouble with apostates (and why it shouldn't put you off becoming one)".
i acknowledge that he is entitled to his opionin just as we are ours but i am disappointed in some of his comments.. at this stage i'll try to be objective about it.
he is defending his own position after all.. what bothers me most is his comments about athiests and christians which he seems to identify as being in conflict with each other.
I'm probably going to be absolutely reamed for this, but I like cedars. I don't "follow" him or think he's all that. But he is rational, articulate.
The whole book thing doesn't bother me. You know who else's website was on there? JWFacts. Why don't you all crucify Paul also?

elder: plese watch the november programm on jw broadcasting.. me: what i hope for is the change of the doctrine that states that jesus is not the mediator between jehovah and all jw's but only between jehovah and the 144000. i believe jesus is my mediator even if i am not one of the 144000. .
elder: may jehovah open your mind and heart.
me: may he open everyone's mind and heart.
my parents are visiting for not-thanksgiving.
dad started bringing up spiritual stuff and i almost screwed up my fade.. it's so hard to have a genuine discussion about the issues in the organization when you have become an atheist.
it feels icky and disgusting to have to pretend and nod your head at such platitudes as "you just need to have faith"..."trust in jehovah"..."jehovah will correct it"..."remember ray franz?
I truly appreciate all the words of support.
Taking them on some touristy stuff today. Hopefully bullsh!t won't come up.

You seem like a good guy I wish you would re think about being an atheist
I appreciate the sentiment. I rethink it everyday. The evidence leads me to the same conclusion every day. Who knows? Maybe someday Vishnu, Jesus or Yahweh will appear and help me change a flat tire and I'll become a believer again.

How does he think that jehovah took care of Ray and what was corrected?
I was complaining about Morris and dad said Tony was a loose cannon and that if he doesn't straighten up, Jehovah will deal with him. He brought up Ray Franz as an example of a Governing Body member going bad. It was so hard to nod and go along so the conversation would end sooner.
