i don't like the man.
but i have chosen to review the first chapter of his book.. chapter 1... only a theory?.
I'm already aware of the context of Dawkins Holocaust remarks, given the kind of people who deny the Holocaust generally are it's needlessly incendiary and I think he knows what he's doing.
Dawkins looks down on people who disagree with him in the same way I used to look down on people who disagreed with me as a JW.

I think fundamentalist is an apt description of Dawkins. He is disparaging of those with religious beliefs and has the same kind of vehemence for the groups he dislikes as do fundamentalists of different persuasions.

Agreed that Dawkins is a good science teacher, shame he's an embarrassment on nearly any other subject.
Viviane, what term would you use to describe someone who's atheistic/anti religious views you believed were extreme?
it will give you an understanding of the watchtower you did not have.. .

Given that the vast majority of members on this board once rejected evolution I find it odd how people now embrace someone who claimed that said rejection was akin to Holocaust denial and even support this comparison.
Also see people who raised their children in religious homes agreeing with Dawkins when he says that this is child abuse, apparently oblivious (?) to what they are saying about themselves there.
Quelly, if you're going to start a new thread everytime you find a verse the witnesses ignore it might take a lot of work.
i am seeing a lot of young mormon men out lately, in their ties and nametags.
is it a certain time of year that they go out?
just curious if anyone knows..
The one time a Mormon ever preached to me he sat down next to me at a park bench whilst I was reading a book, then tapped me on the shoulder and said 'I really like your coat' followed by a painful silence before he offered me a Mormon pamphlet. I accepted because I was genuinely interested in what it had to say and then he asked if he could have my number. Hell no.
Ministerial training school graduate it was not.
i'm cleaning up my home of unnecessary magazines/newsletters that i have accumulated over the years.
while i was working as an employee i did not feel like i had the time to read them.
now that i'm not working as an employee but work as a volunteer to network and maintain workplace skills, i seem to have more time to read.. after reading many threads by former jws, i thought that the following article might help some to heal.
Outlaw, I like you but I think you're being unnecessarily harsh here, lots of ExJWs have wrote about the importance of forgiveness, and there's no shame in sharing Hassan's wisdom, a lot of people here have never read him after all.
Don't worry however, I'm sure Robert will forgive you.

I think Robert is a valuable member here, Jgnat's never been a JW either but who would dare to claim she doesn't get it?
We've all been hurt by someone after all.
