Its on Hulu. I think four episodes so far. I found out about it from SNL. I could totally believe a religion like that existing. It reminds me a bit of the Quiverfull movement.

Did anyone get the old "counterfeit money" illustration?
by themonster123 ina couple of my old witness girlfriends came over last night (note-i only recently left the org.
like 2 months ago, so people are still trying to get me to come back and "reason" with me)...and they used that stupid "counterfeit money" illustration.
i swear, every time i tell people i don't think it's the truth, they put that old illustration on me!

Is anyone familiar with james randi? Hes a magician that has shown how easily scientists can be tricked. scientists tend to study real experiments and dont usually focus on how to fake an experiment. Some may only focus on the bark let alone miss the forest from the trees. Sometimes it is useful to see counterfeits so not to be fooled.

I tried to look for a list of professions beards are frowned upon. the best I could find are police officer, military officer, banker, and politician.

But Don't homosexuals shave to appear more feminine? I feel like that would be the objection to not shave 2000 years ago.

I think that after a while JWs will get bored. They have even less thinking required to "preach". The JWs celebrate novelty and once that wears off they will be less happy than they were before.

I like the Jw day pass idea.
ive thought about doing some Jw stuff in my stand up. I thought about explaining disfellowshiping in an analogy about working for McDonald's.
