Dear Perry,
There is no need to accept any model of autobioenesis in order to realize the Bible is a pile of crap.
I agree with Cofty's summation of Yahweh's character (I may express it a little differently), now you've met two of us.
this is my current bottom-line conclusion after starting to see through the jw game 3 to 4 years ago and going through my own process of waking up.
it helps to write it down and put it "out there".
i hope it helps or resonates with you in your own personal process.. basically if i were given 10 seconds to say something to an active jehovah's witness that i cared about it would be the headline above.

while i am not able to recall them all at this time, i remember so many instances that when a number was quoted in the bible, especially large numbers, they were all "rounded up" to the nearest hundred or thousand.
for instance the angel killed 185,000 syrians, not 184,879. sampson killed a thousand men with the jawbone of an ass, not 961. and on and on on the even rounded numbers.
i would guess that it could be agues that these numbers were correct but is that realistic?
Kudos for thinking of this for an OP!
So damn true!
I'm gonna retain this point in the memory banks.
this really works.
i've already applied the basics of this with one elder who "offered" us a shepherding visit.
we've been totally ignored since!!!
"right now"
Those simple words, make all the difference.
does anyone know anything about the luscious elaine?
is she a professional actress or just a member of the r&f recruited to be a member of the cast of this video?
the pout,olive skin stunning looks make my heart miss a beat every time i see this beauty.
The dudes from the Audio Visual department are always trolling for the hot chicks and hot dudes to use in videos and print.
I thought it was kind of hilarious when I saw how hot she was and being one of the primary actors in their little movie. The WTFBS is as shallow as any Hollywood movie house.
anyone from the tyler/longview area in east texas?
i grew up in the org in longview.
would be really net to run into someone i know.. -d.
If only Matthew McConaughey were an XJW you'd be all set.
a 2 million year old hominid has been discovered that had cancer in its foot - making it the oldest neoplasia found in the human lineage.
now, as to why cancer predates original sin by nearly 2 million years, i'd love to hear christian apologists try and explain.. http://sajs.co.za/osteogenic-tumour-australopithecus-sediba-earliest-hominin-evidence-neoplastic-disease/patrick-s-randolph-quinney-scott-williams-maryna-steyn-marc-r-meyer-jacqueline-s-smilg-steven-e.
You can't trust carbon dating. At least that's what the GB tells me.

this bs really makes my blood boil.
Who exactly gets to decide who is and isn't "a disgrace to the black race"? Is there a secret governing body for black people that decides how everyone must think? Come to think of it, is there some authoritative body for white people ... because I think I might have been dropped off the mailing list - I've been thinking my own thoughts for years now and just generally deciding things for myself.
Seriously, the idea that someone is "a disgrace to their kind" is rarely the sign of a well thought out and reasonable stance.
That's not an argument, it is my opinion/observation.
Lot's of white people in the South have been thinking for themselves for a couple of centuries. And they will continue to do so. My uncle, the KKK member, thinks his own thoughts, I'm sure. Or at least he thinks so.
My uncle is a disgrace to the white race as well. But more importantly, just like the sheriff, he's a disgrace to humanity.

About the OP,
Sheriff David Clarke is a disgrace to humanity, but especially the black race. He's speaking at the RNC, that pretty much says it all.
Republican Party, Jehovah's Witnesses, both suffer from similar delusions.

Let me ask one question: if racist white cops changed so that didn't say racist words, treated black people like white people, would people within the Black Lives Matter movement respect cops' authority? If a cop ordered them to put their hands up, would they obey? unilover
I would like for the cop to overcome their white supremacy complex and disdain for blacks for sure, if that is what's going on in their head. Not just treat "blacks like whites". People within the BLM movement? Some are assholes/idiots, some are not. What percentage of blacks are responding to the proliferation of all the shocking smart phone videos in the best way? I don't now. Surely it's not 100 percent. I like the idea of more video cameras. That way when a suspect is resisting arrest, there is evidence. I get angry when I see someone disrespecting a cop for no good reason and making their job harder than it is. The same goes for a cop that is misusing their authority.
And thank you for acknowledging my questions. As you can see I have some perspective on this subject. Bonus factoid: I have an uncle that is a KKK member.
