The only thing I question is the flat roofs. They tend to leak in heavy rains and collapse under heavy snow loads.

Just remember: "logic will tell you it cant work – but Jesus is in control"

Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?

this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

I do, however, see a few atheists here, who struggle with others' right to have their own belief system.

I've not seen one atheist here who has said a theist does not have a right to believe whatever they want to believe.

Perry is here evangelizing and telling atheists what they should believe. We are asking for evidence that supports Perry's claims and would persuade us to change our minds. He's offered none (ever). Doing this cannot be rightly interpreted as "the need to be 'right' " on our part, but more accurately a simple request for evidence.

In essence, Perry insists ad nauseum that because he believes, so must everyone else. That is the definition of 'needing to be right'.

.

"Well of course there is no way that a person can know such things unless they have been there, seen and tested everything to a conclusion which of course never happens. The testimony of one person cannot spawn testimony in another. Ignorant faith based on brainwashing doesn’t cut it!" -Dougla A. Wallace, author (ex-Mormon)

T: if the GB is not clear on how to interpret a doctrine, don't presume to know and foolishly print it. Be humble and wait it out.

Doctrine is the one area where WT abandons the "wait on Jehovah" axiom.

Vidiot: Gosh, I can't tell you how relieved I am...

Me too. I've slept so much better since this article came out.

Vidiot: Perry, do you actually think you're going to succesfully convert anyone here?

Perry is a theist. Thinking is not a requirement.

Governing Body courageously 'Admit their mistakes'

I guess I missed the big announcement in the WT where the GB admitted to all JWs their ten-year "mistake" of being an NGO with the U.N.

And their second repeated "mistake" of currently being an NGO with the OSCE.

KH builds needed right now = 3.3 Warwicks

KH remodels needed = 5 Warwicks

Maintenance = 12.2 Warwiks

Money needed to pay for pedophile lawsuits resulting from our idiotic policies: not enough Warwicks

Well, 24 years later – we are fine – in fact Jehovah has moved people to donate more than enough to keep the work going and growing! Nothing short of a miracle!

Really? If WT has "more than enough", why are they constantly begging for more and charging $15,000+ a day for JWs to use a mortgage-free assembly hall?

They asked: Will you go on this journey with us???

I'd rather drink turpentine and piss on a brushfire.

"Jehovah has helped the faithful and discreet slave to become steadily more discreet"

"as we might expect, over the years jehovah has helped the faithful and discreet slave to become steadily more discreet.

" 3/2015 study wt.

i guess they just admitted their self title as the discreet slave was not discreet.
AndDontCallMeShirley

"more discreet" = more clever ways to hide pedophiles from the authorities.

Wasn't being absolutely discreet a vital requirement for being chosen by Jesus™ in the first place? Why are they only now, 100 years later, moving in that direction?

sir82: Do you get the idea that these nincompoops are just making this crap up out of thin air?

More like pulling it out of an orifice where the Sun don't shine.

By Perry's logic I guess a person who doesn't believe in Unicorns or the Tooth Fairy must struggle with that everyday, too.

Early Christians were regarded as atheists because they denied everybody else's god except their own.

An atheist simply believes in one less god than a Christian does.

"Courageous" is more like reckless abandon.

WT has to know ex-JWs will be all over this article.

If you want to know how humble WT is, just ask them- they'll go on and on about their humility (and courage).
