Yep, that is where the idea comes from vidiot. Although my dad thinks that way, I was not quoting my dad. My dad is 64 and thinks he is not going to die before the big A but at the same time he is planning a trip to the social security office and file for his retirement. Ah the irony!

When a JW's life comes close to its end...
by suavojr intalking with a long time elder last night, was very revealing.
he has been a jw for over 60 years, a man that was incarcerated in cuba in his early 20s and faced great loss and suffering over his beliefs and for being born in a communist country.
this brave man is now brittle and low-spirited.. while nightfalls on his life, he is made aware the end is near.

Misquote in the Creation Book
by ILoveTTATT inmy dad came into the jw's because someone studied the "creation" book with him.
it pains me deeply that he sent me an e-mail recently saying that to keep the peace with my mom, he will stop communicating with me as much as possible.
i should communicate with him only if i have an emergency.. it upsets me to no end, but i cannot do anything or much about it.

Escaping Indoctrination - Faith Isn't a Virtue.
by cofty inthe unknown writer of the gospel of john put the following words in jesus' mouth, "blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.".
persuading countless generations that it is a virtue to believe incredible things on insufficient evidence, is one of religion's cleverest tricks.. the more incredible the claim; the more flimsy the evidence; the stronger the belief; the greater the virtue.. this is the exact opposite of how we operate in every other aspect of our lives.. rational people must demand objective evidence for everything they are asked to believe.
"extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence".. leaving the dogmatic claims of the watchtower is only a first step.

My waking up to TTATT was gradual and still held a belief in God and Jesus, etc… but then I asked myself the question, Is it really Jesus calling me out of the WT?
The proof that I saw in front of me, was that I was the one using my own critical thinking and no outside entity was guiding me in a special way. When you slow down and think more carefully and your honest about the meaning of you are reading, critical thinking kicks in and out with the Faith!

How much longer for the congregation book (sorry bible) study?
by Saltheart Foamfollower inafter the recent decision to ditch the cbs during the circuit visit, i've started wondering if it is the first step to losing it altogether.
at the current rate, the draw close book will be finished at the end of next year.
based on the way things are going, even the most recent publications will be out of date by then (acts book and organization brochure were out of date when studied) so what is the point of doing them.

The one thig that caught my attention was that no Atheist page has reached the top 100 nor the theory of evolution or people like Darwin, etc.
How come Islam, Christianity, Jesus, Catholics, JW's and politics need so many revisions?
