Police Squad!:

Dutch Gunderson: Who are you and how did you get in here?

Frank: I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.

---

Frank: We're sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then

Naked Gun:

Jane: Would you like a nightcap?

Frank: No, thank you, I don't wear them.

.

Frank: Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.

Frank: Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through.

.

Frank: This is Frank Drebin, Police Squad. Throw down your guns, and come on out with your hands up. Or come on out, then throw down your guns, whichever way you wanna do it. Just remember the two key elements here: one, guns to be thrown down; two, come on out!

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

by Perry in

an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

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?

ADCMS - I don't play that silly game

Just as I thought, tal...you made a baseless claim and when I asked you to corroborate it with evidence you cowardly avoid admitting your ruse and call giving an answer a "silly game".

Let's rephrase, just to appease your sense of outrage

I'm not outraged. What a childish response. You took issue with something I said, I asked for evidence you had to prove your point. You obviously have none. Why not just admit you made a baseless, off-the-cuff comment and I rightly called you out on it?

There, now go bug someone else.

Ummm...you took issue with my post and came after me. I wasn't 'bugging' you. If anything, you were bugging me.

Tal, your response (more accurately, reaction) is precisely what a theist does when an atheist asks for evidence which supports their claim; instead of honestly providing such evidence, the theist tucks tail and runs, all while spinning a simple question into an attack of "outrage"....which aids the theist in never having to answer questions or provide evidence.

I can see why you identify so closely with the Perrys of the world.

talesin: ADCMS -- hahaha, that's a good one. Well, I'm stuck at home these days, and must read a lot more threads than you.

Alright, tal...then please post a link to whatever thread you are referring to Re: where an atheist has said a theist has no right to believe what they want to believe.

I anticipate a "Perry Silence" from you on this one so I won't hold my breath...

Do You Consider Jehovah's Witnesses A Boring Group of People???

i think they are the most boring people on earth.

they are about as exciting as a dead ant..

AndDontCallMeShirley

the problem isn't that they are boring people, it is that they aren't allowed to develop their interests.

I agree. I've known many JWs who had exciting, even enviable lives, before becoming JWs. Once they are in the Org. they fall in line and become, well... boring.

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"

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.
