My Jehovah's Witness broke up with me :(
by jws ina few months ago, the jws came knocking on my door (see thread).. this discussion continued and the next time she brought a man along with her.
i told them that i'd study with them if they could prove to me god exists and the bible was his book.
for our next visit, only the man showed up.

One less celebrity Scientologist
by Gopher init makes me very happy when a popular celebrity leaves a cult, because it could give others the courage to do it or start to think about leaving.. leah remini played carrie on "the king of queens", and has also been on "saved by the bell", "the talk" and had small parts in other shows.. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/leah-remini-leaves-church-of-scientology-calls-it-corrupt-report-2013117.
leah remini leaves church of scientology, calls it "corrupt": report.
the church of scientology has one less celebrity among its ranks, according to a new report: leah remini.

That being said, the core ideas are a form of nlp, which may have some value. Some exscientologists have writen their own versions of scientology techniques, without the hierarchy and costs.

'"It's not about wanting or not wanting to do Scientology," the source continues in Page Six's story. "The issue is that [Miscavige] is taking down this church and hurting people and families.”'
Sounds like a personal thing w management, more than church doctrine thing.

If you were on the Zimmerman jury, how would you vote? 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or innocent?

Exodus 20:5-6 could work, if it was taken as hyperbole. But then, a person would need to take it all as hyperbole. That would reduce the prohibition against other gods to a suggestion.

The Watchtower Corporations Money Making Schemes Need Some Restructuring To Survive
by frankiespeakin inthe primary money making for the watchtower corporation has been to scam people into being door to door saleman for their product for free or practically for free.
bethel is all run by unpaid workers who claim a vow of poverty, bad for the worker but lucrative for the corporation.. now this printing of literature business must be loosing money now that they went over to a free will donation and not asking for a dollar amount in return for the stuff they produce.
so what are some possible restructuring that they can do to offset this downward trend in income?.

' Isn't $375 milion only about $60 for each witness?'
They owe me a lot more than that for all the hours i put in in door to door sales and construction work.

My 8 year old daughter tells me she is an atheist...???
by sosoconfused inso since we have not been to a meeting in 6 months or so, i decided to ask my daughter (on the way home from cheerleading practice - yeah i can't believe i am letting her engage in such a worldly activity lol) if she misses going to the kingdom hall.
she says sometimes because she can't see her friend - but she has made new friends so it doesn't bother her too much.
so i ask her, "well, what about learning about jehovah?

They seem to be branching off into realestate flipping; free labor to build halls and then sell them after a few yrs and do another one.
