Favorite Demon Stories
by Cold Steel inone of the most fascinating aspects of the jw religion is the profound fear of demons (evil spirits) it engenders in its members.
i just wondered whether it's something that is used by the leadership as a means of control, or whether it's simply a concept that grew legs and took off on its own?
first, i believe in evil spirits.

Did you Fade Gradually or Stop Attending Meetings Quickly ? Reasons ?
by flipper inbeen thinking about this and curious about what makes us all come to the decisions we came to in our fade/exiting the jw organization.. i think for myself having been born-in & raised a jw my doubts about the generation doctrine had simmered for years within me quietly and by the time i finally left in 2003 i had reached my breaking point.
also seeing unjust treatment of rank & file witness ( myself included ) just propelled me into my decision even quicker.
so - one day after meeting with 3 elders in a back room before a meeting and seeing their judgmental aggression towards me - i just told myself " enough is enough ".

Study Reports That Circumcision Helps Stop Wart Virus
by Scott77 inhi fellow guys, its high time to go for the surgeon's knife.
(reuters) - researchers have documented yet another health benefit for circumcision, which can protect men against the aids virus, saying it can protect their wives and girlfriends from a virus that causes cervical cancer.. wives and girlfriends of circumcised men had a 28 percent lower rate of infection over two years with the human papilloma virus or hpv, which causes warts and cervical cancer, they reported in the lancet medical journal on thursday.. "our findings indicate that male circumcision should now be accepted as an efficacious intervention for reducing the prevalence and incidence of hpv infections in female partners.
however, protection is only partial; the promotion of safe sex practices is also important," dr. maria wawer and colleagues at johns hopkins university in baltimore wrote.. wawer's team piggybacked the hpv study onto a larger study that has shown circumcised men are less likely to be infected with the human immunodeficiency virus that causes aids.. "we enrolled hiv-negative men and their female partners between 2003 and 2006, in rakai, uganda," they wrote in their report in the lancet medical journal.. they were able to get details on hpv infections for nearly 1,000 of the women, all identified by men as long-term sex partners such as wives.

Non-evidence reasons why people embrace Evolution.
by hooberus inevolutionists always claim that the reason why they believe in evolution and reject creation is due to "evidence".
they frequently use the opposite term "no evidence" in relation to any type of intelligent design, or creation, (and especially to genesis creation and flood history !).
their advocated beliefs always tend to include whatever is necessary to believe in to intellectually "explain" the existence of the universe, world, and its creatures without needing god).

by metatron inhttp://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/12/13/101213fa_fact_lehrer.
this crisis has been brewing for some time but not receiving public attention.
there is some evidence that placebo responses may be growing!.
