  by LogCon in

  i don't know if this question has been asked before,.

  but, in any case,.

  based on the comments of the governing body, at various conventions, annual meetings , info-mmercials, etcetara, etcetara, etcetera, [ i loved yule brenner in the king and i],.

  Sir82 and Oubilette are likely spot on. The GB have never provided any reasons for anyone thinking their collective IQs are anything but average - at best. They might occasionally have one or two with higher than average IQs, but the tripe and nonsense coming from the Dark Tower over the decades strongly suggests individuals with lower than average intelligence.

  Having met a few of them and listened to a lot of them dryly, rotely and moronically read scripted talks at assembles has supported my view that these are uninspired and uninspiring, follow the leader drones. IMHO, it is an insult to intelligent people everywhere to mention these idiots in the same breath. They have shown themselves, at best, to be average.

  LisaRose: Your statement: "DJS, you are giving him waaaayyyy too much credit. I think he actually believes this nonsense."

  I'm trying to turn over a new leaf and be a kinder gentler DJS because of YOU!!! LOL. Your kind guidance has led me re-evaluate my responses. Apparently I have swung too far the otherway!!!! I'm sooo confused ;-).

  somehow, i don't have a warm fuzzy feeling when i keep hearing from the center of disease control, "ebola is not spread through the air ...".

  ever sneezed?

  the famous myth busters had a revealing show on the power of the sneeze anecdotally it has a velocity of some 35 miles per hour and travels a distance of some 30 feet.. ever traveled in the close confines of an air liner?

  Outrageous statements about Ebola

  Experts break through the myths

  The U.S. experience with Ebola -- that is, three cases diagnosed here -- is generating commentary both prudent and inane. FULL STORY

  Gopher seems more like a troll to me than a true conspiracy theorist. He is over the top even by theorist' standards. That's why I haven't engaged in this OP. Gopher seems to be pushing buttons. The more he posts the sillier and less intelliectual his 'argument' becomes. And I have a rule about not engaging trolls. The world wide web coupled with the level of dumbassedness in humans provides a steady supply of potential theories for theorists.

  Gopher is a recent addition to our family, but by his style he has been doing this kind of stuff for a while. At least he has a level of entertainment with his nonsense.

  in the blog http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com bloggers john shore, john loftus, and robert price are watching the dismantling of christinaity over the lgbt question in the us.

  see the 10/17/2014 post.. coupled with the scandals of the megachurches lately many christians are asking questions for the first time on how things have gotten this way and where is the holy spirit to protect the church and people.. .

  "Outside of god there is no moral standard of right and wrong?" That's pure BS garbage and absolutely and completely not supported by the facts. Please provide rational comments or avoid the keyboard. We have provided voluminous data over the past year which clearly illustrates that the more atheistic and secular a state, region or nation is the more functional it is likely to be.

  Ravens,

  I don't much get involved in theist discussioins out of respect and boredom. However, Zoos is using (I think) hyperbolic metaphors to describe what you come across as, which is an entrenched, right wing, Xtian fudamentalist. If you don't wish to be linked with such, I suggest a new strategy - opening your mind and heart and leaving behind the judgementalism associated with the bible and Xtianinity. I did two decades ago and I love life, myself and the world a thousand times more.

  That's the point I think this OP is making. Lots of Xtians are getting tired of fundamentalism and judgmentalism, just as so many on this forum have. Bohm and Designs are correct; your views are short for the world. You can go kicking and screaming into oblivion or you can realize that the bible in no manner is inspired or our guidebook for living.

  You are entitled to your beliefs, but marriage is primarily a civil and secular union. Trying to pass laws, maintain laws, or even judge those seeking a civil, secular privilege just because of their gender or persuasion is something that many of us wish you would keep to yourself or share within the confines of your own domecile or church. Bringing it out into the open makes it a target, rightly so, of ridicule.

  All apologies Prologos,

  No, I do not collect. My rational self views collecting 'things' as control. I've tried but it just doesn't take.

  Things I collect:

  Friends (I have lots), Memories (Tons), and Ex-Girlfriends (I have lots). Otherwise, if I don't use it in 6 months I give it away. My rational brain can't seem to allow things/collections to control me.

  Why I Refuse to Accept the term APOSTATE

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  been going back in forth with my mom (who is a longtime pioneer and dyed-in-the-wool jw) about the term apostate.

  she has labeled me one because of my fading and because i stopped attending meetings a few years ago.

  i told her that i refuse to accept the term apostate because its a lazy way for the wts to not deal with dissenters and address why people are leaving this organization in droves.

  PunkOfNice,

  As usual, spot on. I quit using Dub-speak two decades ago. I refuse to use any of their loaded words, and I wish others exiting or exited could do the same. The Dub specific language is a big part of the control, as the wiki article suggests. I'm surprised so many ex-Dubs still use the loaded words. Removing them for use - and subsequently your consciousness - is a major step to moving past the draconian borganization and its control.

  Thanks for your contributions to this forum.
