Undeniable by Bill Nye.
The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins.
Amazing scientific truths. Their logic (and the experimental evidence, observation, and reasoning of all good scientists) is:
Undeniable.
i'm gonna have to stop reading this shit just for my own sanity and the survival of my computer.

Hello Everyone,
They're at it again. I'm gonna have to stop reading this shit just for my own sanity and the survival of my computer.
Can we please destroy this box that they keep publishing with some actual facts? They can't use the old, "it's just a theory" anymore, now it's "nope, it's not even a theory. Nope, not a hypothesis either. Nah, it doesn't really exist actually." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Is Evolution a Scientific Theory?
What qualifies a theory as a scientific theory? According to theEncyclopedia of Scientific Principles, Laws, and Theories, a scientific theory, such as Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, must
Be observable
Be reproducible by controlled experiments
Make accurate predictions
In that light, where does evolution stand? * Its operation cannot be observed. It cannot be reproduced. And it cannot make accurate predictions. Can evolution even be considered a scientific hypothesis? The same encyclopedia defines a hypothesis as “a more tentative observation of facts [than a theory],” yet lends itself “to deductions that can be experimentally tested.”
it's hard to know where to put this link to a polish book some of you older members probably read, while our newer members are seeking answers to questions the watchtower vehemently deny's!
do i put this under "jw scandals" or "jw beliefs"?
for decades without the internet many of us did not have access to all the publications written by early watchtower writers because access was hard, only men like raymond franz jr(god rest his brave soul) had the golden key for entering the library of all publications jws made.. can some of the older members remember people who sold their homes and others who bought things in the summer or fall of 1974 knowing they won't be paying for their purchases because jehovah will destroy all the creditors records when he kills them!
May 1969 Awake!
'Nuff said.
i was informed today by a jw that the watchtower doesn't use images and propaganda to instil fear.
i would really like to see a compilation of all their armageddon illustrations.
maybe a thread or web page already exists that had this content.. the one i am really wanting is the most recent picture of the witnesses in the basement during the tribulation.. this will be a massive help so thank you..
I have noticed that too. I think since they couldn't have their dinosaur in the MBOBS, they decided they would throw in a frightened mother and baby. For comparison:
1978 version:

Ah, how time changes all bullshit :)

Since it's my Avatar, I'll leave this one.
What a loving, compassionate God!
i see an attitude among some people here which is not very helpful.
i can understand it, but still, it's not constructive or helpful.. if you condemn the society for not changing, but then you also condemn them when they do change in a positive way, what incentive or motive does that provide for the people at the society to ever want to change for the better?.
also, what does that attitude look like to current witnesses who are having doubts?.
What do I want the Society to do? DIE. I want the whole thing dissolved, and for everyone to be able to move on.
THESE IDEAS MUST DIE

YES!!! I hope this gains so much attention that it is shoved into the face of every JW and the GB is not able to ignore it. :)

It doesn't matter if those stories were complete fabrications - the Organization's stance on sexual assault is laid out in their literature. Sexual assault DOES occur, and when it does they DO blame the victim, and they DO NOT take action against offenders, even going so far as to try to humanize them, defend them. The Organization has stated in the past that if a women doesn't scream, she's guilty. Read the verses in Deuteronomy that this idiotic principle is based off of - this is coming from a time when a woman's only value was as a virgin.
What kind of person would stand behind that?

A very brave young woman. One of the most definitive and damning pieces of information that made me completely reject this religion is their policy toward sexual assault victims. If more people were aware of that, the Organization wouldn't survive.
the july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!
book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.
the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.
Thanks Millie210, I'll research that parable!
FusionTheism - Thanks! Great thread! I wonder if this could be a game changer? A way for them to start being accepting of more people while still being able to say, "We told you so!," at the "end."
