  Best "wake-up-call"-arguments?!

  by Mr Fool in

  hi everyone .

  it was not my intention to write here anymore, but i found things that caught my interest, things that i feel to share in the hope of someone finds it interesting.. the core is that the wt surprisingly admits that what "we" believe in, is after all, only opinions (awake 2000 june 22 page9-11 "do not be a victim of propaganda).. anyone with a scan of thiese pages would make my day ;-) the questions/arguments below are built around this:.

  feel free to find better arguments ;-).

  this isn't funny, but i didn't know where else to share this.

  it comes from a facebook page called "fundies say the darndest things.

  can't you just imagine a jw writing this?.

  Wow. So glad I researched yoga and started taking classes with another JW two years ago. Lol, the things we used to be so gullible about are such an embarrassment.

  SWFL is much more chilly than normal. In the 50's. Went to a great outdoor football party last night with a huge bonfire and all kinds of moral, intelligent "worldly" peeps.

  jw.org slipping down the search engine rankings?

  by besty in

  2. beliefs

  not sure if anybody else has noticed this but when i search for jehovah's witness i would expect jw.org to be the 1st result.

  until now.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/50714155@n07/11824103644/.

  seems they are down to 3rd position behind wikipedia and beliefnet..... this is great news if true - seems that their shiny new jw.org might not be quite seo'd enough....

  no longer a ms ........................... can't give details atm, for it might be a dead-giveaway and it ain't quite over yet.

  but, it really taught me one thing: if you're trying to fade or stay in, trust no one.

  and i mean no one.. eden.

  Hope this doesn't get too rough for you. Originally, I relayed thoughts and many questions to two JW's. One is out (faded) and the other said something to my parents and has caused strained relations, to say the least. Can you ignore phone, texts, visits at your door? I ignored texts from elders and haven't been bothered in 6 months.

  Sam Harris' $20,000 Challenge - The Moral Landscape

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in his book, "the moral landscape" sam harris argues that you can in fact get "an ought from an is".. the split between facts and values is an illusion.. he challenges the assumption that science has nothing to say about objective morality, which he defines as our thinking about the well-being of conscious creatures.. personally i found his book to be compelling; all the arguments against it that i have read so far are based on misunderstandings of his thesis.

  i hve quoted harris a couple of times when he said to his critics that he didn't want to be wrong any longer than necessary.

  in that spirit he has offered $10,000 to anybody who can refute the central argument of his book in 1000 words or less.

  I am quickly developing a fondness for Mr. Harris. Just ordered several of his books and liked him on Facebook and signed up for his email.
