what type of faith do you REALLY want?

by atheist_R_stupid in

i find that when talking people who say they "used to be a jehovah's witness" they say words that show they have in fact, never been one.

it's like a man that worked for the post office for 30 years in a main major urban hub like chicago or new york... and you ask him, "in your last position, what was your rdo?

" and the man says "whats an rdo?".

ARS, thank you so much for the lesson on jargon for specific religious groups, fields of study and/or philanthropic endeavor, professional trades and rock & roll groupies. It's been oh so very informative.

Can you please also instruct us regarding the appropriate jargon for internet trolls of limited intelligence and even lower moral acumen? None of us here are very experienced in these matters and you are clearly a zen master.

Thank you in advance for sharing your superior wisdom and knowledge.

We are eternally grateful.

ARS, you really need to stop drinking when you post, or stop posting when you drink.

Either way, give it up.

Your incoherent rants are embarrassing to people that want to have an intelligent conversation.

Seriously. Get the clue.

Watchtower Accused of Intellectual Dishonesty

watchtower never learns.. i applaud dr. singh for speaking out and his open letter to watchtower.

ARS: do ANY of you ever look up ANYTHING on your own?

Only all the time, and not in the WT. That's the nice thing about being out of the cult. I can Fact Check using independently verifiable sources.

This is something no JW can do, at least not with serious consequences.

rama singh WHAT HE REALLY SAID, so you men can stop lying

by atheist_R_stupid in

"there have been repeated scientific challenges to the.

theory of evolution in the past, and the nonbelievers of evo-.

lution cite them as support for their case.

Oubliette

Where to begin ...

OK, I'll start here:

First of all, what's with the "R"? Is this like Toys-R-Us?

Atheists-R-Stupid. What, are you opening a store? Silly.

Next, it should either be, "atheists ARE stupid" or "an atheist IS stupid." We're talking basic SUBJECT-VERB agreement here. Grammar 101.

That being said, showing up on a forum of ex- and wish-they-were-ex-Jehovah's Witnesses and insulting atheists is not good form. In and of itself, I would posit that your choice of a JWN username is prima facie evidence of a cognitive deficit on your part. At the very least it shows poor social skills.

Finally, apparently you didn't take a minute and take the temperature of the room before you entered.

There are many here among us that are NOT atheists.

Get the clue.

RELIGION AND MENTAL ILLNESS!!!

i have have come to realize most "rank and file" jw's are mentally unstable-to-ill and here is why.... http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/mental-issues.php.

Mental illnesses are serious conditions that can only be diagnosed by a trained medical professional experienced in dealing with the specific disorders under question.

So unless your a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist or a member of the Governing Body, refrain from doling out medical diagnoses without a first-hand evaluation.

BTW, we should all be in awe of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses because they are able to diagnose "mental disease" without even personally examining the individuals that have it. Must be God's Holy Spirit!

My own daughter has much suffered; she will get justice in due time.

by TheFadingAlbatros in

just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".

she has attempted suicide a few days ago.

luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

Oubliette

Nathan Natas, why are you being such an unempathetic asshole?

TFA, I'm sorry you're dealing with this, but I'm glad your daughter is improved. Try to ignore the insensitive comments of NN. What a jerk.

"Jehovah ALWAYS had/used an organization". How would you reply?

by EdenOne in

in a recent meeting with elders, an argument was used to the effect that jehovah has always [= throughout history] used, or operated through, an organization; therefore, the wts must be that organization today, since god must be using one.

naturally, i know what arguments i've used to counter that argument.

but i'm interested in hearing yours.

Oubliette

EdenOne, Stop making sense, Oubliette!

Sorry, can't do that!
