the biblical archeological review journal is running a caption contest.
you have to submit your idea of a snappy caption for this image:.
it's based on proverbs 26:3 which says (in case you no longer own a bible-grin):.
Not a snarky caption, but an observation: It is Biblical texts like this that give evidence to the arrogance of the believer and self-justification to their perverse desire to control others. It's just sick to lump humans in with animals and suggest that a "rod for their back" is the proper way to treat them.
Religion has got to go!

Steven Lett ... had proof of the kingdoms existance more powerful then the proof for gravity
And what was that "proof"? Just his assertion, nothing else.
This religion has somehow convinced its followers that the word "evidently" is a satisfactory substitute for actual evidence.
It's a pretty interesting psychological phenomenom.
Still, let's not forget: It's still a cult!

Don't miss the not-too-subtle message implicit in the "Kid's Corner": Door-to-door we go, preaching of the Kingdom!
i know this has been dished over before, but when i was doing some research i discovered a couple of interesting points.
as far as i can find, there is only one wt article that implies that jw men should not have beards.
*** w75 8/15 pp.
Today I ran into a JW I've known for years but haven't seen since about a year ago. The subject of beards came up. He said enthusiastically he'd "love to grow a full beard!"
I enthusiastically patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you should! Why don't you?"
I then asked him why he didn't grow one. He responded, "Oh, I dunno. Something about having parts on the platform ..."
Understanding, but wanting to take the oportunity to make a point, I asked him, "Do you even know WHY Jehovah's Witnesses don't have beards?"
After a brief moment of shock that I would even raise such a question, he somewhat sheepishly admitted, "Um, no." He did not know. No surprise there.
I informed him there hasn't been an article on it in the Watchtower since 1975, adding, "It's a silly rule. It's also just an American thing. Some elders in Europe have beards. You should grow one if you want."
He was of course now suffering from a severe case of cognitive dissonance so I did him a favor and changed the subject.
What do you think are the odds he'll ever grow a beard?
Let's review, It's a cult!

I've been to Skye once when I was a young man -- it seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago. Didn't do the Cullin Ridge.
What an amazing place!!!
Thanks for sharing that awesome video.

15 tell us, when will these things be?
and in his parable of the sheep and the goats, jesus states: the son of man arrives in his glory.
Quit trying to make sense out of nonsense!
hello friends.. i notice alot of talk about the future and what it would take to bring the whole thing down and no one seems to think it can or will happen any time soon.
just seeing people here talk about what will happen once 2034 comes and goes is very discouraging.. i'm amazed this religion continues to move along as it does.
building, growing etc.
Integ: How can people be so freaking obtuse and ignorant in this day and age?
None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see. - Matthew Henry
i saw some jw's in my neighbourhood today from my ex kh.
they were on the ministry and happened to call at my door!!.
i calmly explained i had da'd and now went to a regular church.
Good for you!
