  Finally Gave My First Anti-Witness After 11 Years

  hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.

  i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.

  the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.

  Just finished reading the book. It was definitely easy to see the similarities but also those with our current world in general.

  BAHFest - Ironic Evolution Science Festival

  by cofty in

  bahfest is "the festival of bad ad hoc hypotheses, a celebration of well-researched, logically explained, and clearly wrong evolutionary theory".

  it is part of the 2014 bay area science festival.. additional information can be found at http://bahfest.com/.

  here is a very funny talk by matt inman called jeebers crabst.. i love his definition of faith - "a magical wizerd sauce that, when drunk, allows you to say, do and believe the dumbest shit imaginable, and still feel right".. .... .

  Thanks for posting this, Cofty, I just saw it myself and thought it would be perfect here! And the interpreter has mad skills...

  How did your family react when you made it known that you did not want to be a JW anymore?

  Seems to be a common thread that NO ONE really cares why anyone leaves. The leaving is just proof that you have come under satan's spell or that you are weak and have been Stumbled™.

  Sad that we acted this way ourselves, once upon a time....

  Steve2, that may be true, but here in Florida, US, a 10-year-old was recently baptized and everyone was sooooo happy! And it's not the first prepubescent baptism I've known about personally.

  Child baptism...not just for religions of christendom anymore.

  How to capitalise on recent unwise appointment with my wife.

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a brother was appointed recently in the cong, he's got a dodgy history, doesn't really have the respect of many in the cong.

  it's surprising to me, but i don't really care, good for him.

  my wife, on the other hand, is angry!

  an elderly driver crashed into a park bench in mandurah, western australia today where 3 jws were sitting.

  they had set up their jw cart and their literature was also strewn across the ground.. one of the jws was seriously injured with head injuries.. what a freak accident this is.. .

  It's always tragic when accidents happen, and as Phizzy says we must live each day to the full.

  That means NOT spending your life blindly following the false leaders of this religion. Get OUT OF HER, dear ones! Go LIVE life the way you were intended.

  Did you expect all non-Witnesses to die at Armageddon?

  by Apognophos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  apologies if this has been asked before, but i couldn't find a thread where the focus was specifically this yes-or-no question.

  reach back in your memories to when you were at the peak of your faith in the religion, and tell me honestly:.

  "did you, personally, believe that non-witnesses would die at armageddon, even if they hadn't gotten to hear the message at all?".

  Even as a piousneer, this bothered me greatly and was one of the reasons I began thinking more critically about jdub beliefs. So...No.
