How many were strongarmed by elders over inheritance, etc?
by avishai inon another thread, i saw how elders were after someone for money as soon as someone died in their family, more than once.
this happened to my mom for years after my dad died, insurance settlements, lawsuit settlements, they wanted as much as they could possibly squeeze from a widow with three kids.
anyone else see this?

Gotta love that Sherri Shepherd
by ShirleyW inshe made another comment on the view that the jw's believe only that 144,000 will go to heaven, in her own way she is definitely getting the word out that the dubs are totally off the wall.
so whoopi gives her that wtf comment like, how do you know you're one of the chosen?.
i remember when she mentioned she had to go before the elders when she was a teen for sexual conduct and had these grown men questioning her about all the "details" and her father just sat their just looking down and keeping quiet, i remember the audience actually gasped when she relayed that story.. keep up the good work sister sherry, with all the people that watch the show, she's definitely gettin' the word out they are total nutjobs !

Jehovah Witness and honesty
by megaflower ini spent 20 long years in the society.
the one thing they pounded into your head esp at convention time is honesty.
jehovah's people are the most honest in all the earth.

Free load of Watchtower books (tons!), must pick up
by drew sagan ini've been thinking about getting rid of these books for a long time.
i have bound volumes starting with 1950s up through the early 2000's (not complete, but probably about 35-40 volumes).
i also have about 50-70+ books, including some from the 1950's (let god be true & others).

What "scripture is inspired of God?"
by Mad Sweeney inthis has been discussed before in other threads and probably in threads of its own, but it is probably time to re-hash the topic.. when paul told timothy that "all scripture is inspired of god..." what "scripture" was he talking about?
did he have the ego to include his own personal letters to the congregations?
did he also mean to include the books and letters not written at the time that the catholic church would choose for its canon a couple hundred years later?

Percentage of NFL players with goatees. Typical of the USA?
by ThomasCovenant inare goatees very, very popular at the moment in the usa?
because whenever i watch the nfl here in blighty i see that about 80% of the players have goatees and about 95% have either a goatee, a tash, or a full beard.. is it to make the helmet chin strap more comfortable?.
or are they at the cutting edge of today's male grooming fashion?.

Who do you pray when you feel the need to pray if you dont believe in God?
by cyberjesus insometimes when we face difficult situations i feel the need to pray to god for help, and i know that plenty of times the sole act of praying makes you feel hope and have a better outcome of the situation.
you can call it suggestive or that you prepare a positive scenario by using faith.
the outcome is that regardless if there is someone who listens or not to your prayers oftentimes you feel better afterwards and have more positive attitude.. the problem is that i dont believe in god anymore.
