the founding fathers had it right when.
they setup an electoral college and opted for a republic.
Okay, I was coarse. Still, my basic point stands: Christianity is a bigoted religion - at its core, it is an insistence that others have to believe what you believe or God will kill them or torture them. You're a Christian, you believe that other religions are no good, ergo, you're a bigot.
My wording may be coarse, but your bigoted belief is pure evil.

Tell you what, DJ, you admit on this thread, to me and any other interested reader, that belief in Jesus Christ's divinity (or even that he existed) confers no special advantage over a believer in, say, Mohammed's prophethood or the Buddha's enlightenment or secular humanism, and I will admit that I was wrong. Fail to make this admission, and I will continue to believe that you are an ignorant, bigoted dipfuck.

Religion should bring out the best in people but sadly brings out the worst
all too often.
Maybe that's because religion is a snare and a racket.
A lot of the times it only causes a total rebellion to anything having to do with true righteousness that comes from Christ alone.
This is a bigoted, ignorant statement. Try pulling your head out of your self-righteous rear end and you'll recognize that many other ways of belief are at least as valid as the various forms of Christianity.
But dont presume to know the heart and conscience of another individual, simply because he or she may not offer the support you would like them to!
Amen.
hi brothers and sisters.
i'm a jw circuit overseer.
i have just uploaded my pages.
StinkyPantz beat me to it.
i thought about writing "i quit" but it got a little wordier than i expected.
but i'm sending this off monday morning.
i've used a little info gathered here on this site but mostly it's my thoughts.
Great letter, and I think you're doing the right thing by DAing yourself and for the right reasons. Better to quit before they can fire you, if you're going to be vocal about it.
Your letter reminded me of a line from my DA letter: "While claiming to be god's sole earthly channel and to speak in his name, the Watchtower Society has made numerous predictions without once being right. What definition of false prophecy does this not fit?"
On the down side, not too many paragraphs of that letter are going to be read by most.
Well done!
shall we play a game?
i was thinking this might be funny and perhaps a bit of mental exercise...try to create the longest sentence you can using only usernames....i'll try first... wild turkey balanced lyineyes' fire dragon betweenworlds waiting elsewhere.. sincerely,.

Here's the shortest I can think of: "Og; ugg."
it is with a mixture of joy and sadness that mrs know_you and i depart john and eunice's sanctum of sanity.
truly their home is an enclave of peace in this mad, doomed, sybaritic world.
what a contrast to the spiritual lunatic asylum inhabited by the apostates with their shrill cacophony, their puny fists, like the men of babylon, raised in anger to their creator!
Give it up for Know_You, the king of JW satirists! I only wish the actual JW literature was this interesting. Please sir, reveal yourself to your adoring audience!
is it even remotly possible that a marriage can work if the wife is a jw and the husband who has been one for over 30 years is on his way out.
is there any advice on how this can work or is it just doomed for divorce!!!!
i love my wife and kids but she's not handeling this very well at all.
Well my wife is a "super dub" and I'm a DA'd apostate (for about a year and a half) and I'm finding it to be a nearly intolerable situation - and we love each other! But... her deeply held belief is that my spiritual ideas are so disgusting that she can't discuss them with me and that God is going to kill me because of them and, oh yeah, she has to do her best to raise my kids to get baptized and stop talking to me or God will kill them too. So is love enough?
Speaking for myself, I haven't "solved" this yet. If we split, we'll both be miserable for years, if we don't split we'll be mildly miserable for the rest of our lives and whatever the kids do, one or both of us is going to be crushed.
I just get so angry and sad at this evil organization. My wife has been in since she was 7, and truly seems unable to think rationally about it anymore.
Sorry if I'm a downer about this. Monday I had my first ever panic attack, partially due to these issues. And the one person I can't talk to is my wife, because my problems involve her damned religion. Sorry again; this topic has touched a nerve.

Einstein remained an adamant atheist his entire life. His comment about 'god and dice' is nearly always taken out of context.
