And CS, the gaul, hypocrisy and narcissim you show is off the charts. We attack you? I think we attacked your ridiculous premise. So it's OK for you to paint with a broad brush, condeming atheists as useless and immoral and providing nothing of value to society, but THAT is acceptable????? What kind of delusional narcissist are you, anyway? I suggest a new strategy, R2: stay within theist only posts and avoid others. Stay away from the keyboard; you can do it. I know you can.

It would be nice if people who make definitive statements about things which they know little or nothing and especially after their nonsense has been proven erroneous could exercise some restraint. Avoid the keyboard. You can do it. Or acknowledge you were wrong (exercise some of the Xtian humility). Both would be preferable. Now stick your head firmly back in the sand. Or . . .

Viviane,
I noticed CS did not directly respond to the data referenced by Snare or my comments about it. I suppose if you put your head deep enough in the sand (or your own ass), such things as facts will magically go away. He has been on this site long enough, and has likely read and participated in these dicussions numerous times, where he knows that the definifinivie statements he makes are typically not supported by the facts. He has to know. The only thing I can come up with as to why he and others like him continue to spew nonsense is because: a. facts are scary and best avoided; b. he and others like him think that they can slip in their bits of nonsense and all the atheists wil be on vacation; or c. a combination of the above.
We continue to have the same mindless dicussions with theists; and they don't ever seem to get it. Just once I would like to see one of them say: "Oh, I see Snare, so being decent, kind, honest and ethical, based on the very good data you have presented, hasn't a rip to do with religion." You have enlightened me. Thank you so very much."

CS,
I have cited the study referenced by Snare, and others like it, before on this forum. The nonsense you spewed is absent factual basis. Study after study reveals the more religious a state, country or region, the more dysfunctional it is, and the less religious the more functional. This data is readily available to you, but you do what nearly all the theists do on this site. You run your mouth, making definitive statements, about things which you know little or nothing. Your mindset is what traps you in your theistic beliefs; you 'feel' or 'believe' something, perhaps even strongly, without any true knowledge or evidence to support. That's fine, but I do wish you would learn some self control and stay away from the keyboard. But if you really want to play this game, I have a lot of data ready and available. Not that it would matter. Other than your 'feelings' and 'belliefs', you got nuthin".

Why?
by SuperBoy inwhy does the wtbs do what it does?
if it's just to make money, they are easier ways.
online bingo websites for example.. what is the motivation to have millions of followers "voluntarily" giving of their time?

Bath, excellent, excellent post. I use Maslow's hierarchy of needs a lot in my classes to help explain behaviors. For the leaders I believe narcissism and ego play a huge role. They simply cannot believe all of the tripe they spew. But no one wants to give up power and control, whether its a Boy Scout leader, a preacher, a CEO, the coach of a team, or the Borg's leadership. Power and control are the ultimate aphrodisiacs and ego/narcissism.

Is it true that elders lurk the forums?
by make yourself init seems like it is one huge contradiction.
but are they doing it for the purpose to try to guess exactly who in the congregation is on ex jw sites?

For example, a well responded to post may get 10 to 20 times the number of views as posts. Granted, some of those 'views' are from posters, so the 'science' is at best fuzzy. However, note this post. Only 27 posts but over 1500 views. It would be of major interest to lurking Borgians, likely not so much to those who have been out for over a year or two. Hi y'all!!!!

I've posted this before, but I've taken note of the types of threads and OPs which typically run off the charts with views (not posts, just views). They are almost always about what's happening CURRENTLY in the Borg. Any post that concerns any changes or 'new light' re: the latest WT, OKM, DO, CO, BOE, GB immediately gets tons of views. That would suggest that there are a lot of current JW lurkers, and it would only be reasonable to conclude some of those lurkers are elders. Come on in, the water's fine!!!!
Simon could probably provide better numbers. Mine is simply an observation over time.

How many here (believers) believe in the Hell fire doctrine and why??
by jam init's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.
"cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.
"lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".

SarahFrown??? You still believe that? That was considered a metaphor by the Borg. A loving god would torment pathetic humans, regardless of how bad they turned out, forever? Really? You believe that? Say it aint so. SarahSmile is one of my favorite 70s Hall and Oates songs.

Ok Kate and Viviane, DO NOT make me come in here and break this up. Really, don't. ;-)
More popcorn please. Seriously you two. You are two of my favorite posters. You two HAVE to get along. For me. Not for you. You see it's about me. ;-)

Viviane and Village Girl, you both rock and this has been enlightening and entertaining. I avoid these discussions because I'm not a SME. I know lots about lots but not this topic. You each have forgotten more than I know about it. Based on what little I know, you both are apparently 'right' depending on which expert is asked. Ok, now that's over, what I REALLY want to say. .... GIRL FIGHT!!! (Bring the popcorn). Just kidding.
