i wanna make a poll here.
how many years do you think the jdub cult will exist as is and what will happen to it?.
i say the growth stops this year and starts to decline.
I'm putting my money on negative growth within 10 years, but a 50% decline is a bit optimistic, in my opinion. Remember that they're seeing tremendous growth in the latino populations and countries in Africa. (If we are to believe the numbers.)
But I could see that within the next 10 years numbers in the US fall in the hundreds of thousands.
i know this question has popped up from time to time but i really would like to know how you guys, those that no longer believe, came to that conclusion?
was it the wts and all its crap?
was it something you read?
I am of the same opinion. I will eat a whole crockpot full of crow if someone presents verifiable definitive evidence of the existence of any supernatural creator being.
Now, whether or not I would worship such a being is another story.
well its that time again when the ghouls come out to play.
i personally think halloween is a bit irresponsible and inappropriate from a sociological perspective.. there's something about the intent of frightening young impressionable children minds with frightening objests.
and feeding them candy which most likely cause tooth decay and stomachs is irresponsible activity conducted by adults.
Since my position is that there is no such thing as the supernatural (like ghosts or demons or witches), it's all fun and games.
It's like going to comicon or a Lord of the Rings cosplay event or playing Dungeons and Dragons.

When will people get it that the onus is on the one making the claim to prove that claim.
When a theist says, "There is a God!" and the atheist says, "I don't believe you," it's not up to the atheist to prove his position. The burden of proof is on the one making the extraordinary claim.
Rebel: Viv doesn't have to prove that there is no God. That responsibility lies with the one claiming there is a God.
i get infuriated when i see the god's (guardians of doctrine) sporting pinky rings or rings on there right hands.
like a club association.
when i try and take a look at the ring it resembles a masionic ring.
i was invited to a small get-together by a long time friend.
we both served as elders for years.
he is in his late 70s.

Wow.
The cult indoctrination in me says "lies!"
The apostate in me says, "awesome!"
The skeptic in me says, "That's interesting. I'd like to know more."

Yes, I did. And it wasn't a challenge, it was a request for proof of EoMs claim (which bohm was also unable to answer).
Also, people keep forgetting the keywords you used in your answer...you stated that there was no computer program that evolved on its own.
That's true. It's because there is no such program.
Why the subject of computer programs that evolve ever came up to begin with is beyond me, though. It's a non-starter false equivalency.

there doing this right under my nose but i just found out.
not sure what to do but would like your help on getting me wt information on my headship role and how they shouldn't be doing this with out my permission.
also would like some help on showing my son the ramifications on what happens to someone when they get baptized and how they'll expect him to treat me.
I agree. The "man-up" comments are uncalled for.
jwfacts advice seems very sound.
Also, seeking legal redress may drive a wedge between you and your wife, but this is your son's LIFE we're talking about here. It should be a last resort, but you should definitely consider it.
