by sosoconfused inthe drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".

Would anyone be interested in a review of Richard Carriers "Proving History"?
by bohm inrichard carrier has written a book on the historical method where he argue all valid historical methods can be described by, and reduced to, the logic of bayes theorem.
conversely, he argues that any method that cannot be reduced to this theorem is invalid and should be abandoned.
he argue this is particular important when investigating christianic origins and he identify the lack of bayesian methods as a key problem.

Cool, I'll check it out. My history itself is pretty rusty, I could do with brushing up with some good material.

I'm surprised you were able to stomach watching it. I'll sometimes say the wife, or the boss, i must say I never mean it with any disrespect. I'll need to ask her if she doesn't like it.

I agree, you can instill those things on your own as a parent, as many other parents do. You certainly don't need to teach him the ways of a cult to instill any values.
You're probably teaching him those values anyway because it sounds like your a great parent thinking about your kids the way you do.

Who in their right mind would allow their 13 year old child to become a Jehovah's Witness when they aren't witnesses themselves? Crazy. (If what they are saying is the truth in the first place)
and when it's brought to their attention that its a disfellowshipping offence to be on this board, rather than take that on the chin they come back and quote even more scriptures.
they should go tell the elders they've been enjoying spending a few hours on JWN...

Atheism and the delusion of meaning
by Laika inin the movie annie hall, written by woody allen, as a young boy, alvy's mother, takes him to see a doctor as he appears to be dealing with some kind of depression.
when the doctor asks alvy what's up, alvy explains that he just found out the universe is expanding, everything will spread out and go cold and die, therefore nothing he does matters, so he is not going to do anything anymore.
most people might see this as a joke, but i think woody is trying to make a serious point.. the point here is about meaning.
