FlyingHighNow - Yes, that's what I meant. Although I was under the impression that those who believed in the god of the bible believed that's where morals came from? I'm happy to stand corrected if that's not the case for all believers.

An elder announced at a CA that Terminater 2 should not be watched. I also remember the c/o at an elders/servants meeting telling us that Bono worshipped the devil and that Madonna with a disgusting thing for 'wearing her underwear on the outside'

To me, the original question has only one answer. Theists believe that morality requires the existence of god because that's what they've been taught to believe. Based on a book. A book that states that god commanded it's people to hide, abduct and rape woman. Not ideal in my view.

New Rooming Arrangement for some district conventions in the UK - what are they up to?
by 88JM inso i missed this letter below being read out last week - i got a look at it from the notice board this week.. from what i heard, this announcement was not received entirely positively as such, but there were apparently one or two for who this is a bit annoying.. staying at hotels for the district convention is nothing new here - many are used to staying at the same hotel/b&b/campsite every year, and get quite friendly with the owners.
but this year, it looks like not only do we have a new location for our district assembly (glasgow - the s.e.c.c.?
) but we are being told what hotel to stay at, supposedly to make things cheaper.. what i can't understand is, if this is really for the benefit of people, why didn't they do this years ago?

"Waiting on Jehovah" the slum landlord
by Terry inhow many faithful true believer jw's are "waiting on jehovah" to straighten out their religion?.
i know of many.. most of these impatient people are pissed off and squirming.. they have usually been inside the kingdom hall for many, many years and have seen the many stumbles and changes.. and, frankly, they are sick and tired of being sick and tired.. .
"wait on jehovah" has been the only counsel offered to stave off outright rebellions.. .

what is the dumbest thing you've been reproved/chided/df'd for?
by rather be in hades ini'm a big science nerd and i remember when we were going over the creator book, that the big bang doesn't necessarily prove there is no god.. i said this comment during book study and the conductor's jaw dropped.
everyone was pretty uncomfortable and it didn't help that he ct me off as i was explaining the red shift and mom wasn't too happy about all that.
i had to do a lot of bible research and write some nonsense about how the big bang was not reality or some sort...ugh.. .

Video from the Dublin Convention of Anthony Morris III releasing the Sparlock DVD
by cedars ini've just uploaded a youtube video showing the moment when anthony morris iii released the sparlock dvd ("become jehovah's friend") at the special convention in dublin, ireland.. here is the video, which is part 1 of a series of videos that i intend to release entitled "getting to know anthony morris iii"... enjoy!.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ene8hbfj1pi.
anthony's remarks aren't all together that interesting in this clip, although he does relate a disturbing story of a two-year-old girl who was allowed to watch the dvd eight times in quick succession.
