I can't believe that in this day and age there are thousands if not millions of religious fanatics (JW's and the like) who actually believe the Nimrod story, flood story and other similar fairy tales.

October 2nd, 2014: The World Ends Tomorrow, Taking all Bets!
by Oubliette inon october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.
tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?
still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

Elders, apostasy and disfellowshipping issue's - thoughts please
by FeelingFree inok so... when i was talking to my mil about why i no longer wanted to be a witness she kept trying to convience me that i needed to speak to the elders.
i said from the word go i didn't feel the need to as my mind was already made up and no one could change it.
i also said if the elders new all my reasons for leaving they would view me as an apostate and i would get disfellowshipped.

I suffered from severe bouts of depression at times which started in my late teens. It got a little better over time but I really improved once I was menatally free from the Borg. Still get it once in a while though. Being born in, you can never fully let go. Its Like PDSD or in my case PWSD.

It's allowed rational thought to flow more freely through my brain. I'm at peace and see life in a totally different way. I'm generally more happy. A god would have to
Be pretty evil to allow all the human misery through out history. Now we know it was all human nature and mother nature.

Plastic buckets in Paradise
by Sour Grapes ini remember one picture of a pretty little girl holding a plastic bucket in paradise next to a tame lion.. i asked my wife if there is going to be polution in paradise?
of course the answer is no!!!!!..
i asked her where did the plastic bucket come from?

She probably just stole the bucket from someone who was slain by J. You know, she must have Pryed it out of his cold dead hand's

The GB could eventually build they're 'Head quarters'/ retirement center in Africa. Preferably near a tribe of Head Hunters.

" Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.
by prologos inthis statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.
explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .
together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

It's such a sad state what this religion's been reduced to, I'm starting to really feel bad for the old timer rank and file JW.

World powers come and go .Will China replace America as a first world power in the next decade ?
by smiddy inwhat are your thoughts about this topic , pros and cons.. smiddy.

China will become a much stronger regional power but will never surpass the US as the world's
Leading super power. At least not for the foreseeable future. It's partially because of America's allys around
The world (particularly Europe) and also the culture of the Chinese is very introverted. They generally tend to
Not want to be involved in other countries affairs except if they need to trade (strictly economic reasons)
