everyone wants to belong, it is human nature. the easiest way to belong is blind, mindless acceptance. in short, to be a follower. you are a follower, kgb. do a little ancient history research. there are many writtings which are pre-'christian', albeit, not in books, but on stone. take the time to check it out.

The Scriptures
by KGB inthe scriptures are some of the oldest books in the world known to man with dates included now how do you suppose that can be, that these books have survived this long, many thousands of years ?
hmmmmmm i don't see any other book on the shelf as long as this book not even any other history book as far as that goes, now i wonder why a book that supposedly is nothing more than a lie or uninspired as some of you put it would survive that long.
i wonder how christianity has lasted as long as it has if it is all just a lie.

Unbelievable experiences at assemblies or conventions
by Dimples inwhat experience at an assembly or convention caused you to raise your eyebrows in disbelief?.
one that comes to mind is a 5 year old conducting several bible studies.
wasn't it hard enough for an adult to get a bible study?

Its scary to see a 5 -year-old who's so smug and prissy, already turning into a self-righteous turd.

Paradise lost - found!
by dmouse inhey, my mum was having a clear-out today and decided to throw away her old society books (she ain't in now...yippee).. i was helping and came across an old 'paradise lost - paradise regained' book that we used to study as a family when i was just a nipper.. it's in remarkably good condition considering five kids used to man-handle it about 30 years ago.
it wasn't a children's book really, but the simple language used, to appeal to all sorts of laymen, made it suitable for that purpose.. scanning through i came across loads of pictures that really brought memories flooding back, i'll post some more when i get the time.. somebody recently posted a thread about the jw belief that dinosaurs were about at the same time as humans.
well the picture on the inside cover shows a dinosaur (top left) wandering about the desert and people too.

The jws put the emphasis mainly on "this good news of the kingdom", which of course they describe as God's government in the hands of Jesus. The gospel of Christ is preached by them, but the emphasis is not so much on the Christ himself, which one might argue actually the Churches preach more effectively. Interesting, that way back when i was going door to door, the general consensus of the 'worldly' was that we as jws did not accept or believe in jesus!

While everyone was clapping and so proud of this child
Remember, the children of mind control need a constant input of reaffirmation. Therefore, they are more than willing to accept whatever is presented to them as 'truth' by the 'governing body'.

What a waste of money!
by Undecided inwe went out to eat with my daughter and husband tonight and on the way back i counted the churches on the 16 mile streach of road home.
there were 18 churches that were on this one road.
can you imagine the money that goes to pay the preachers and buy the buildings?

good point unique1. But you can look for answers to hundreds of questions such as this and never find an answer. too many translations, too many deletions and too many borrowed stories exist within and around the common bible. Essentially you are trying to analyzie a compilation made by many aspiring world leaders.

Whats the deal with the napkins on the head?
by RoadDoctor in.
what is the idea behind the sisters wearing a head covering when they lead a group for field service?
is there something written in the bible new world translation about this?

A clear case of Pauline Christianity
'For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was man created for the woman; but the woman for the man'
Incidentally, one would think, this contradicts Genesis 1:27, in which God created mankind male and female 'in his own image'
Jesus showed no such bias and seems to have treated women as fully human beings.
