Have you ever successfully persuaded anyone?
by losthobbit ini've had many conversations with religious people and am always surprised that i am never able to get anyone to put their programmed beliefs aside and process the logic that proves how unreasonable their doctrines are.. so, i'm wondering, have you ever successfully persuaded someone to change their mind about something that they had been brainwashed with, and if so, how did you do it?.
thanks in advance .

Is that really what Armageddon's supposed to be like?

i'm just wondering if that's really what jw's say armageddon's going to be like.
approximately one in a thousand people are active jw's, so that means that each jw will have a thousand dead bodies to clean up.

Pension funds and the end of the world
by losthobbit inignore this if it's been asked a thousand times before, but what's the policy on pension fund contributions?.
do jw's tend to contribute towards pension funds, knowing the world's about to end?.
theoretically they would take out the biggest loan they can afford, not expecting to ever pay it back.. talking about the end of the world... when's the next one due?

The Zeitgeist Movement
by losthobbit injust wondering if anyone here is a supporter of the zeitgeist movement?
it's not a religion, and it's not zeitgeist: the movie.
it's a group of people who want to eliminate the world's biggest problems by removing their root cause.

What's your favourite scary metaphor?
by losthobbit inyou can't argue with a scary metaphor.
and i have to credit djeggnog for his scary phrase referring to people who don't believe the same things he does, as those who: "unknowingly walk about blindly in religious dungeons of ignorance.".
my favourite scary metaphor i've read is for people who leave the religion: "those who enter the world of satan and become part of the antichrist.".

I also have questions about field service...
by losthobbit ini never was a jw, so please excuse my lack of knowledge here.... after reading some posts on this forum it seems i've realized that i don't fully understand what field service is.
it seems that field service is the following (and please correct me):.
- something jw's have to do for a specific number of hours per month.

21 April 2011 was judgment day...
by losthobbit insorry if anyone's already posted this, but i thought it's important to point out that 21st of april 2011 was judgement day.. http://terminator.wikia.com/wiki/2011/04/21.
in case anyone missed the end of the world, that's because it happened "invisibly".... guess that means i can stop believing in terminator prophecies and enjoy the rest of my life... party on!.
