  Labeling one self "Atheist" is Unscientific

  i have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.

  i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.

  "atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

  Plants are theists. They consistently worship and bow towards the sun.

  Interestingly, the title of this thread can use all the same characters, yet convey a message I also agree with.

  last week we had the cos visit and i wanted to share my experiences with you.

  some background info on me, i knowttatt and am fully awake, my wife also knows my doubts and read a few things on the internet but she is still 100% commited to the truth, saying everything on the apostate sites are lies.

  so right now i am in just to keep the status quo.

  This is a really great experience. Thanks for sharing!

  As an undercover fader, here is my paranoid speculation (emphasis on the paranoid): they knew you know TTATT and were seeing if you would say anything incriminating.

  This is how I feel all the time as an undercover apostate. I always feel like the elder boogeyman is lurking around the next corner or dissecting everything I say to find "evidence" or a "second witness" to my apostasy.

  I don't want to turn this into another God bashing thread, so I will just share what my experience was in losing faith.

  Occam's Razor. I thought about how repeatedly we cited the complexity of life and that the only explanation could be a creator. Sounds like a simple explanation. Except that in order to create something so complex, the creator would have to be even more complex, by a factor of millions or billions.

  I then realized that a creator wasn't truly a simple explanation.

  Why doesn't someone ask him what about the proceedings is so amusing as he keeps smiling like a doofus?

  By the way, you can conclude something doesn't exist based on lack of evidence using modus tollens.

  The problem isn't a lack of evidence full stop.

  The problem is a lack of evidence where there should be evidence.

  Do you agree that there is a difference between those two statements?

  Child abuse

  i have been reading all the posts on this, and watched all the proceedings.

  it is very shocking and the jw elders look really bad.

  that being said, if the secular authorities made mandatory reporting everywhere across the board, would that not close the jw stupid loophole ?

  My question is, why does Jehovah's spirit directed organization need Satan's system to write a law that requires them to do what was already the right thing to begin with?

  A few facts to ponder

  i have been in correspondence recently with silentambs and a few interesting things have been highlighted.

  some of you may know, that bill bowen has twice tried to get the fbi involved in investigating child molestation issues in the jws org.

  this is what he said to me, i quote: we have reported to the fbi on two occasions and were rebuffed due to them not wishing to get involved with a religion.
