Great story Paul you never know if he will ever open up to TTATT. You site has been of great help for me as well and I want to thank you for presenting your arguments with sound honesty.

Letter I wrote to the person the caused me to be disfellowshipped
by jwfacts ina thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.
i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.
i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.

JJ Abrams and the WTBTS.
by DATA-DOG inyou are probably wondering what these two subjects have in common.
well, i have been pondering something for quite some time.
i have been trying to figure out how explain the recent and huge doctrinal shifts of the wtbts since the 2012 annual meeting, and the accompanying modernizing of the jw official website.

Babylon not rebuilt....B S
by Skinnedsheep ini always accepted that babylon was simply a pile of ruins miles from anything and inhabited only by goats.
this is one of the proofs that witnesses use for bible accuracy and prophecy.. if you are interested check out ancient babylon on google maps.
it is about 3 miles from the city of hillah which is 380,000+ people.

Oh dear! I forgot about this one. Now I find out it is anohter big fat lie!!!!! Of course they don't build anything, just like no one builds in Machu Pichu, Tikal the Mayan City, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, etc.

Ok, now I know why you atheists get so spittin' mad at some believers.
by Julia Orwell incuz they feel like they're banging their heads against a wall.. i don't really fall into the category of atheist or believer, but i'll go where the facts lead me.
that generally leads to atheism, and is why atheists end up getting mad and therefore rude at believers: they will lay out facts, raise questions, play devil's advocate, and reason in an evidence-based, structured way.
i've seen it many times before on this forum.

It is a horrible feeling Julia. I was talking with my wife today about the actual consequences to the survivors of the big A.
I mentioned how the world full of dead bodies would cause sickness. How God using all of his power and celestial armies would simply destroy everything and we would need more than 1000 years with the small amount of people left to rebuild. How ridiculous and cruel is to think that unborn children, children and women will all die just because they were born in the wrong part of the world.
What did my wife say? Oh honey, don't forget Jehovah will use his miraculous powers to avoid any of that.
With these people you just can't win! I wanted to pull my hair and scream.

it talks about the gb and fds a lot.. look at this:.
those taking the lead have shown that they are not sentimentally attached to material things.. they are willing to move the world headquarters to warwick, new york, because it will advance kingdom interests.

"Overseeing material assets" comes first in the GBs list of priorities. Not a single mention of the well-being of widows, children and elderly and sick. I guess Jesus was the one who came to help the sick but it is not the priority now, the new world will change all that. Wait! It is just around the corner...

It sounds like the GB is our role model and then Jesus might also be a good idea to follow... but he used to have a beard so he was not a real good example.

10,000 year old spear point found in FL - man is only 6,000 years old?
by Comatose inhttp://www.cnn.com/2013/11/16/us/florida-spring-artifacts/index.html?hpt=hp_c2.
as evidence piles up, will we reach a tipping point where people begin accepting the age of humans existence?.
he described as "phenomenal" the preservation of the finds, whose location as many as 5 feet deep in oxygen-free sediment had protected them from decay.. they include a suwannee projectile point -- a spear point -- whose estimated age of 10,000 years puts it "right at the cusp of the end of the ice age," arbuthnot said.

"Jesus is My Boyfriend" Christianity
by cofty inthere is a trend in modern evangelical, charismatic and "non-religious spirituality" that gets dangerously close to erotic love of jesus.. it's something that i first observed during my christian years especially in the lyrics of christian songs and sometimes during open-prayer times.
if you haven't experienced open prayer you are the lucky ones.
everybody adopts the shampoo position - elbows on knees, head in hands - and whoever is "moved by the spirit" speaks up for a while, followed by an awkward silence, followed by two people speaking up at the same time, followed by silence, and so on.. anyway back to the topic, here are a few random examples .... "lord i give you my heart.
