  french philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

  " a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.

  the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.

  What Bothers You The Most About Jehovah's Witnesses?

  for me, i think it's their hypocrisy.

  they lead (the vast majority) a double life.

  and ultimately they look down on anyone not a jw yet they won't even wn up to it.

  The Blame Game

  by openminded in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  notice in the story of the garden of eden that jehovah shifts the blame for the frightful condition of the cosmos he created onto adam.

  this blame-shifting god tells us that it is on account of adam eating the fruit that the earth is cursed and pain-filled.

  (see genesis 3:17-19)

  Adolf Hitler and Jehovah

  by openminded in

  let me explain.

  jehovah is angry at the human race because of something our ancient ancestors supposedly did in a fabled garden of eden.

  as the apostle paul argues, each human being is born with the stain of "original sin" inherited from our first parents.

  Donald Duck and Jehovah

  by openminded in

  all of us grew up watching and enjoying the antics of donald duck.

  laughing as he slowly but surely lost control of a situation, and then finally, in an impotent rage, threw a temper tantrum.

  sometimes, it was his nephews huey, dooey, and looey who drove poor donald to the brink and beyond.

  My New Religion (from the Onion)

  by openminded in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, it's been a long, hard road, but i'm finally almost finished with cosmysticism, the new religion i've been working on for the past year or so.

  and i must say, i'm pretty proud of how it's turned out.

  it's a delicate blend of love and wrath, mystery and science, history and fantasy.
