in favor of determinism i find that almost everything i believe is something that i discover i believe as opposed to any rational decision ive made to believe it.
as i mulled over the idea of free-will not existing these last few days, i find that i continue to drive my car, walk here and there, make coffee and generally do and act however im going to act regardless of what i happen to be thinking about.
on the other hand, this part of me that controls my internal dialog also appears to be the same part that initiates speaking.
I didn't know Bradley was allowed to have two accounts???He began to mimick me soon after joining this site.
You need to talk more about sex if you think he is copying you Although... "Those that don't, talk about it." Perhaps you're are in the first group, while Bradley is in the latter
hey mate, don't mean to pick on you, but i know you are a good sport.
;) to all other non-believers, this thread is also for you..
it seems you always want proof and evidence of some kind of afterlife, but always have a "reasonable explanation" for any evidence put forth.
check you PM's FMZ.
Unfortunately I don't have time to read and post in the thread at the moment, but I do find views from both sides very intersting.

Sorry, we aren't going to any bull-riding bars
i have been concerned since i read on a couple of posts about the pro-jw documentary which is in the works to be publicly aired on pbs.
this is the website: http://www.knocking.org.
i studied the website, and it looks extremely favorable to watchtower.
documentary will be aired some time in 1996.jgnat
Damn, you mean we missed it already???

Additional info from the website:
Engardio was raised a Jehovah's Witness in Michigan, but never joined the religion. His mother is the only Jehovah's Witness in his Catholic family.

Good catch!
An organized effort to ensure that PBS, at the very minimum, gives a BALANCED view regarding JW's should be put in motion.
As it looks now, this will not be the case.
Take a look at this quote from the website, it makes my stomach turn:
KNOCKING tells a moving and enlightening story about how one unlikely religion — however ignored and criticized — became such a vital thread in the fabric of American life.
A few form letters that we all can forward to the producers of this movie & to our local PBS stations should be drawn up and then mass mailed by the x-JW community.
I think the goal here should not be to stop the film, but rather as stated, to allow for a balanced, opposing view from x-JW's. The more attention drawn to JW's IMO is good. Keeps them under the microscope and hopefully better behaved. Any rebuttal should not be an attack. As we all know, attacks on JW's only enforce the indoctrinated idea to JW's that they are God's Chosen Earthly Organization and are now being attacked by Satan.
What say ye?
at some convention sites, there will be protests by apostates.
at other conventions, apostates will covertly slip in and leave messages on cars.
however, not everyone has the fortitude to protest nor the time.
LOL, that's pretty funny!
