If you're "reading" pornography, you're doing it wrong.
I don't read pornography...I just look at it for the pictures. Reading is way too much work. LOL.

My problem with Original Sin
by leftbelow ini found this quote in a book i was reading and it struck me this is why original sin is a problem for me.. damnation is the start of your morality, destruction is its purpose, means and end.
your code begins by damning man as evil, then demands that he practice a good which it defines as impossible for him to practice.
it demands, as his first proof of virtue, that he accept his own depravity without proof.

Your code begins... demands that he start, not with a standard of value, but with a standard of evil
This is the insidious and destructive nature of religion and the fairytales it builds itself on.
Imagine how much better the world would be if the converse was taught as truth rather than the current lie: namely, that we all have worth beyond measure and have only to embrace and use it?

How is assembly / district cost figured out?
by EndofMysteries inwhen they annouce that a 1 day assembly cost $30,000, do they pull that number out of their hienie?
i'm sure somebody on this site had been part of the paperwork trail for that.
for a building that's paid off, do they really have that many expenses and add them all up and divide by weeks of the month or make up a high inflated number to send a big bonus to wt?.

Most recent pedophilia case lost in court, divided by number of attendees = per publisher rent cost.

Will the Societies tighten their grip even more with the power slipping?
by thedepressedsoul ini think its pretty clear that the gb are power hungry.
you cannot listen to the branch visit and not see clear as day that there are some of them that are loving the power.
it showed the clearest with anthony morris.. now all these sex abuse scandals and news media are taking their power away.

To add to DoC's list:
> using the generic "brazen" term as a catch-all in order to DF a person on any trumped-up charge a JC wants to use.
> The GB ramping up their self-aggrandizing tear by unilaterally declaring themselves the faithful slave.
> If anyone hasn't noticed, the title has progressed from "governing body" to "Governing Body".
> The WT's renewed focus on labelling anyone who disagrees with, or even questions WT, as an "apostate". A recent WT article warned JWs to shun even an active brother if that person talks about WT in a questioning manner.
> The recent largest money grab in WT history.
> "listen, obey and be blessed".
And, finally:
Paragraph 17 from the Stupefied (simplified) WT edition:
"At that time, the direction that you receive from Jehovah’s organization may seem strange or unusual. But all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether we agree with them or not, because obeying these instructions will save our lives." (W 11-15-13)
If that doesn't smack of desperation by escalation of control, I don't know what does.

"Out of convicted rapists, 57% admitted to reading pornography. 95% admitted to reading the Bible."
I can see the day when mental institutions are going to be inundated with jehovahs witnesses .
They already are. They are called "Kingdom Halls". LOL.

Why were no sea creatures destroyed in the flood?
by smiddy inall the animals on earth were destroyed in the flood of noahs day apart from those in the ark ,apparently no sea creatures were destroyed in the flood , why is that ?.
this is not an issue that only affects jehovahs witnesses , it is one that affects all beleivers that accept the bible as gods word.. obviously sea creatures were not put on the ark , no whales ,no dolphins , no fish , no krill , no plankton etc.
you can fill in the rest .. so my question is , why were land animals / birds singled out for destruction ?, what wrong did they do to deserve this judgement against them .

TheRedeemer: I wonder how big the bible would be if they removed all the silly stories (i.e. flood, red sea), miracles, violence, atrocities by God, atrocities commited by God's servants, idiotic finicky rules, prophecies and just left facts and good advice?
Not sure where I got this quote from but it seems apropos here:
"Erase the whole bible, and just have one page. Written on that page are bold letters; "Don't be a dick"

$24,000 to use a Hall you have already paid for ?
Yes. It just happened recently at an Ass Hall in my area, too. Got the report directly from someone who attended.

We have to exercise common sense with regards the flood of Noah's day:
Are you talking to us? Or religious people? Because "common sense" holds no sway with the religious.
- We are not told the the entire earth was flooded. We are told that a "world" was. That world was the world (locale) in which Noah and other on the earth lived.
- Keep in mind that God had not confused mankinds languages so there were no people anywhere else on the earth other than the locale (world) in which Noah lived.
- Noah did not have the resources or time to travel great distances to gather all of the animals on the earth.
- What was flooded was the locale in which Noah and the rest of evil mankind lived in those days. That was the only "world" there was.
- Where did all of the water in the earth we see today come from?
And you know all of this how?
The really sad part is that no matter how one is reasoned with, they will defend the misleaders and their teachings rather than listen to God and the one He told us all to listen to.
The sad part is when people ignore the science and continue to defend a laundry list of impossibles and fanciful stories concocted by illiterate ancient goat herders. BTW- Why believe in god and Jesus, the persons mentioned in the same book that describes the Flood? Nullify one and you nullify the other.
