  Nathan,

  I can see you got a Ph.D. in Psychology. Well done! Quite likely you have served as a high ranking diplomat too.

  today i walked up to a group of cart witnesses and picked up a watchtower.

  i opened the watchtower up to the first page , and asked one of the witnesses if he had read it.. lie # 1... he said he read it.. i ask my second question to a woman witness sitting next to him , who by the way was hard to tear away from her cell phone..... "whats this watchtower about?

  , "........ lie # 2 ... she said she read it , but forgot "exactly" what the main points were about..

  How did you prove they were lying, especially #1? Do you have something better than "I say so".

  Welcome,

  I am not a JW, but have lots of friends and family in (daughter and wife included). Ever since finding TTATT I feel like I am going crazy too, especially after seeing the state of denial of JW's when they are confronted with the idea of having been lied to by the WT. Anyways, I am a 50 y.o. male from Burbank CA. Send me a PM if you live near the area and want to meet a friend of the apostates.

  Has anyone thought of a class action lawsuit against the watchtower regarding their shunning policies? If Olin Moyle won, why wouldn't it happen again?

  A couple questions for atheists on Suffering

  by little_Socrates in

  who told you that the world should be free from suffering?.

  do you find any value in suffering?.

  do you think it is possible to experience all the beauty and goodness and pleasure the world offers without also experiencing the bad?

  Suffering is part and parcel of advanced forms of life, who are subject to the inexorable transformation of the universe around us according to the physical laws that regulate it. Tsunamis, earthquakes, flooding, drowning, cancer, etcetera are subject to those laws and the only thing humans can do is to learn how those laws work to use them to their advantage and reduce suffering. It seems suffering is here to stay for as long as there is sentient organisms. The only way God can rid us of suffering is to kill us all. If I read the bible right, this capricious character may end suffering soon (remember Noah's ark).

  Ruby,

  I join Cofty and Viviane.

  I, however, never read much about mother Teresa, so I don't know if she is in a league with you. I wouldn't be surprised.

  You know what, on a second thought, I think cofty was too nice. What you wrote is pure non sense.

  Regarding the OP question.

  Suffering, deep suffering, is to know that a large percentage (40 to 50% or something like that) of the U.S. population in the XXI century still believe in the literal interpretation of the creation account. My 29 year old nephew just wrote in an email : "this complex eco system we live in and the awesome universe our planet is in, it just does not seem logical to have come from evolution"

  What's going on? It's so painful. I need words of consolation. I need someone to tell me that this superstitious age is going to end soon. I need help.

  Not good. The average crime outside of JW's is not represented, so there's no way to compare. Considering that the JW's are about 8 million people, the number of crimes put on the board looks quite small (I am sure less than 1%), therefore the argument really backfires. Also, something troublesome is that the creator of the map decided to criminalize the refusal of blood. As much as I dislike that policy, I have to consider that most judicial systems in the world don't call it a crime, therefore it's not a crime.

  AAWA, please make a better effort not to do what the very people you criticize do.

  all those scientists are under the control of the wicked one, why should I listen to anything they have to say.
