Please nominate your favourite film and say why you rate it so highly.
by lifelong humanist ini've just watched all 3 parts of francis ford coppola's epic godfather once again.
it is a superb achievement on many levels.
each viewing reveals something new and fresh.. i recall, as a good jw at the time, not seeing it when released as it was not certified as 'suitable' given the content for jws.

What is the JW story on baptisim?
by Out at Last! inthey claim that all of their beliefs and actions are based on the scriptures, so how can they justify 9,10 year olds, or even early teens getting baptized?
jesus was 29, john the baptist was the same age or a year older.
all of the others i recall from the ot & nt were adults.

so if paradise won't happen, what about armargedon?
by highdose init has been recently proved ( as far as i'm concerned) that paradise the jw view of it isn't coming.
scriptual evidence is so thin as to be non exsistent.
ok so what about armargedon then?

Poll: Who Left Whilst Still Believing?
by brinjen inthis is for an upcoming youtube project.
i would love to do this on a mass scale... think there might be something "big" in the results.. 1. were you a born-in (including those who's parents converted while they were still children) or did you convert as an adult?.
2. when you left, did you still (a) fully believe in the truthtm, (b) partially believe or (c) realise it was all a load of crap?.

Inference and what jehovahs witnesses fail to see wrt. 607, evolution, the ark, etc.
by bohm in"hey guys, last summer i spend 3 days in the stomach of a live sperm whale".
the imediate reaction when you hear that is to think im lying.
if i had written that in a book called "the things i did last summer", everyone would tend to treat that rest of the material in that book with sceptisism.

Disfellowshipping reasons
by GapingMouth ini grew up as a dub, and i was taught that there weren't specific reasons why people got disfellowshipped.
i was taught they didn't announce what the wrong was as they were df'd because they were 'unrepentant'.
now i know the wts is full of **** and i see a few posts about tattoos and piercings etc being cause for df'ing.
