That is true. Or wouldn't look at a guy if he had been dfd, or didn't have any privileges or titles. There was a lot of spiritual snobbery there. A lot of born ins, male or female, were shallow in my exp.

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.

Which vacation would the Society prefer a Witness take?
by LogCon inof the three following vacations, which one would the watchtower society prefer that a witness take?.
1 - a three week working volunteer vacation in bethlehem, to help the international palestinian youth league and the alternative information center, [ a joint palestinian and israeli activist organization] to turn a former israeli army base into a residential compound with a school, a hospital, a youth house and a series of gardens.. 2 - a three week working volunteer vacation to help the local food bank collect, stock and distribute food to the needy.
duties would include preparing tasty and nutritious meals for local residents including families.. 3 - a three week cruise from seattle to hawaii, enjoying all the amenities of the luxury liner, as well as seven days in hawaii enjoying the scenery, the restaurants and the hot, sandy beaches.. if you are able to make more detailed comments i would greatly appreciate it.

What always struck me was that a lot of JWs had big group holidays where half the congregation would go camping together. I never went because I could never understand how you could spend all this time with these people every week and then go on holidays with them too!

Yes, we've even had parts on assemblies complete with skits about how families and others should structure their vacation around visiting a DC, aux pioneering or a trip to bethel.

Wow I just did some reading about the Neanderthals. They were so cool, and that DNA evidence doesn't lie. I wish they were still around today. How good would that be?

I've seen it many times before on this forum. Well folks, I've been trying to reason with a JW.
It goes round in circles. Anything too hard to answer is ignored or "I'll have to do research on that." They pipe in about how they must be Truth because of the Big Three doctrines, hellfire, immortality and Trinity. You point out facts from independently verifiable sources. Then they accuse you of mockery and negativity. Then say you are unappreciative of what Jehovah did for you. Then it starts again. Something from the Watchtower. Something in circles.
Makes me wanna tell him to STFU and say, "fine, you stupid #%&@, have your $@%$&*#!!! cult!!!!" Not exactly persuasive or logical argument, but you get so mad!!!!
Now I understand so many of the less-than-logical things posted here by atheists.
