  so i stumbled across this the other day, please excuse me if it has already been posted.

  don't know what you think but i found this idiotic, casting stereotypes and dangerous.

  so the scenario goes something like this, young brother finds himself in the company of a young lady at a bar.

  Conversation with a Biblical scholar - Richard Dawkins

  quite interesting when you look at the bible objectively and the historical records.

  it highlights the problems of using the bible as authoritative and validation of history.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxcutg0lvr0.

  spoiler: didn't know that the immanuel prophecy attributed to jesus as being born from a virgin is actually a mistranslation.

  Blood, what is the spirit behind the law?

  during the years when i was an active jw i never questioned the ban on blood transfusion.

  i have been inactive now for a number of years and even during those early years i reasoned i will never accept a blood transfusion.

  however, thinking about it with an open mind, i question the current teaching of jw's on banning blood transfusion on any account even if it means saving a life.

  Your own mortality, how do you cope with it?

  i've been a lurker here and an inactive jw for a number of years.

  i've always had some annoying doubts but brushed it aside but over the last few years i've had time to "think" away from the wt.

  perhaps there is no paradise, maybe no god and this life is all there is.
