Love is like God.

by The Rebel in

neither, can be proven only to the believer can they exist.

we could therefore say that a persons feelings on god and love are simply chemical reactions produced by the brain.

however what i find interesting is that if a certain part of a persons brain gets damaged their personalities and emotions can radically change.. the rebel..

Silly me, I thought that love feeling was a result of neurons in the brain releasing dopamine and other chemicals.

JW Threatened me with Violence Today :)

by cofty in

i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

You are extremely brave to approach a man with facial hair the way you did.

My years as a 'Jehovah' would have left me cowering in the fetal position with such an unkept satanic-face, gleaming into my beardless soul.

Anyone who has ever been a JW knows about the dangers posed by a beard.

life has been busy, but i am now on 2 weeks vacation which allowed me some thinking room.

and here's what's been on my mind.. we're all going to die.

no matter what we do, our fate is sealed.

Speak for yourselves suckers!

I have just lined myself up an eternity of fruit platters and panda interaction with some nicely dressed folks who just knocked on my door!

They even mentioned something about dead relatives being remade along the way, so they can join in the fun.

And we are never going to die!

Ron De Rooy is the worst

by StarTrekAngel in

sorry had to come and rant.. been watching all the videos from the rc.

i am at day 5 and so far mr de rooy has been the worst.

many of the others are pretty bad too but at least they show they are concerned for their own fate.

He is a blatant liar who ironically is trying to defend the 'truth'.

He says he was sickened by the allegations and he believed them. He says they couldn't act on allegations because it was a girls word vs her fathers.

He does say he can't remember the actual allegation, only something about 'the door in the shower'.

He is a pathetic man and terrible liar. He should go to jail.

Need the hardest evidence possible that humans have lived for more than 6000 years

by ILoveTTATT2 in

since coming out of the witnesses, i have gone through a transformation in thought and in mind.

i started with the usual: i thought that jesus was god.

then i investigated more about the bible and thought that the bible was not true, given the many contradictions, failed prophecies, etc.. then i investigated evolution and read lots and now i accept evolution and natural selection as things that are true.. now, i need to make my dad rethink everything.

Cofty use to link an article written by a Christian scientist that detailed exactly how radioactive dating works.

I am sure he will know the one and could link it here when he catches the thread.

I Made the Literature Trolley Run Away Today - Twice

by cofty in

i popped into town this morning to buy an anniversary card for mrs cofty.

it is market day on a saturday and it's tourist season so the town was very busy.

here is a picture of the scene from a year ago... two cult carts were in their favourite place being guarded by none other than one of the elders who was on my judicial committee, his wife and another jw woman in her electric disability buggy.

Cheers for relating that Cofty that was funny.

I think that this scandal will keep Aussie JWs away from those carts (preaching work)?

Its a tough religion to be in when you have to go out in public and defend pedophiles.

Angus Stewart calls the JW religion a captive organization

by oppostate in

if you watched the questioning of terrence o'brien by angus stewart at day 7 part 3 on youtube--thanks so much for uploading these videos--you'll see that mr. stewart puts quite clearly to brother o'brien that the jw 0rganization is a "captive organization".. he makes this reference regarding the practice of da/df'ing and shunning, which he mentions is the one thing that makes ex-jw's the most angry.

because insisting on shunning ex-members causes psychological trauma and separates people from their family, friends and their community of support; therefore, they are held captive by the organization if they don't want to lose those most dear to them.. i believe angus stewart is to be commended for seeing clearly what the wt/jw religion is truly like in practice, and it isn't pretty.. the term "captive organization" is usually used in finance to mean a business front, a legal veil that shields the parent company from liability and having to make big insurance payouts.

for example if the australian branch gets sued and loses, the "wt australia" corporation will pay the amount awarded by the judge to the complainant.
