Do you choose sides, or do you choose truth?
by Seeker infor example, ask someone to give their opinion on a political issue, and often you will hear, "well, i'm a (political party), so i think..." that's not thinking about the issue, it's choosing sides.
to be fair, one hopes that much thought went into the decision to choose that side in the first place, but it's still not the point.
no side can contain all truth and no falsehood.

Song parody: The Adams Family
by Seeker ini felt like creating another song parody and i was casting around looking for the right song to pick.
at first i thought of the brady bunch, but nothing seemed to fit just right ("here's a story of a man named chuckie..") or ("here's a story of a lovely culty...").
i dunno, at every turn i wound up getting to the blood issue or child molestation and it became less funny.. so i stumbled onto the adams family lyrics (which are very simple), and was stunned to see that i didn't have to change a thing!

ex-JW life -- Reality vs. Fantasy
by Seeker inwhat are the lives of ex-jws really like?
the wts tells jws one thing, but is what they say reality, or fantasy?.
a common technique used by the wts to express their viewpoint while avoiding the truth of the matter is to focus on the specific and imply that it is the general.. let me explain: do you know of any ex-jws who were disfellowshipped for immorality?

Do JWs think they have a 'religion'?
by Seeker in(rather than continue to allow an existing thread to be hijacked by a different topic, i'm starting this new topic.
it continues an argument between myself and tallyman.
the question is, do jws refer to themselves as having a 'religion' or do they still follow the old rutherford notion of all religions being a 'snare and a racket'.
