okay, the smoke has cleared.
everyone's dead who had it coming and the remainder find that their bodies have been changed.
no more disease, no more aging, no more human weaknesses and the weather is perfect.
Fruit platters as far as the eye can see. They will need to appoint people over said platters and have spiritually mature bros take the lead in distributing the fruit.
have you ever seen lars and the real girl?
very funny, odd sense of humor.
have you seen rare exports?
Eagle vs Shark. It's a New Zealand film. I thought it was pretty funny, it is definently odd.
i suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.
i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.
(rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.
"Modified truths" is good, but here are some of my favorite expressions that the WTS has used in describing the false things they use to teach as truth....
"past truths"
"cherished errors"
"formerly cherished views"
"an expressed opinion"
So to use another WT expression, you could say "The Truth" = "inaccurate concepts".
What can I say, I am just not humble enough to accept "The Truth".

Stay off this board you hypocrite.
Learning the truth about "the truth" wasn't an enjoyable experience for me, and either is trying to fade while my family are held hostage.
Your head is stuck up your self-righteous JW arse. If you ever successfully dislodge it, come and join us as we wallow in our freakish apostate misery.
Oh and one more thing.... Praise Satan!
i read steve hassan's book and he mentioned about buzz words or triggers that call out the cult personality of a victim of mind controlling cult.
when you were in, what triggered you?.
Headship, Headship principle.
Theocracy, Theocratic arrangements.
This system, the wicked system, Satans system.
so...the wife wants to go to new york.
she wants to visit the holy land and see the new bible museum.
( sorry, trying not to vomit..) do you have any idea what it costs to fly to ny and get a room?
New lights. They get brighter and brighter.
so let's say i've thought about having some vinyl lettering printed up and stuck on the back windshield of the car to publicize ttatt...what should it say?.
"do you know ttatt?".
"jehovah's witnesses are a cult that breaks up families".
Lol DD. My return visit is your Mom.....
No taxes, no charity, no problem. That is pretty good.
let's be serious - if you really want people to have faith and to be able to now absolute truth why not perform miracles.
why not make the bible a blank book and when you open it, it addresses you personally in writing of course.
for instance it says, "hey confusedandalone this is what i need you to do.
Village Girl -
Why is Cofty so filled with just mean spirited hatred
for random anything and what exactly is his world view?
from cofty I see nothing but, anti-life, anti-love, anti-hope.
wallowing in what seems to be depression and a level of
thinking we see in nine year old boys, or two year old's
having temper tantrums.
I don't see any mean spirited hatred. For the most part, I just see pure logic and solid reasoning, with all of his claims and arguments based firmly in reality.
If believers want to be encouraged by like minded people, I am sure there are forums for that.
If someone states as a fact that a man lived inside a fish for 3 days, or a snake talked to a woman, or *insert bible miracle here*, I think they should expect to come up against opposition to their ideas.
Just because someone rejects the idea of a invisible creator, and likes to debate the idea, doesn't mean he is full of hatred or anti-life. Rejecting superstitious ideas for lack of evidence is not throwing a tantrum.
some people don't realise that attacking darwin's personal life over evolution is nonsensical as he was not the only scientist with the theory at the time.
many scientists were debating the idea including darwin's father and grandfather.
amongst the people throwing the theory around was a young poor welshman with a love for biology and questions, his name was alfred, yes everyone could calm down a welsh :) man called alfred wallace was also on the case...... many don't know that he contributed much to the theory too.
I liked the quotes you put together there. It seems Wallace had a real humble attitude, and the bottom two, well..... lets not get the thread off topic.
