What you hide from yourself comes back to haunt you (Cognitive Dissonance)
by TerryWalstrom ini was paroled in 1969. i had been in prison since 1967. i was a political prisoner compelled by my religion to refuse military service.. (in order to preserve my faith, i could only change my thoughts.i couldn't change what happened.
i could only change how i remembered what happened, how i reported what happened.

The Preaching Method Has Flip-Flopped Again
by pale.emperor inim currently reading a book called jehovah's witnesses: portrait of a contemporary religious movement (https://www.amazon.co.uk/jehovahs-witnesses-portrait-contemporary-religious/dp/0415266106).the researcher is a social scientist, was never a jw, who studied with the witnesses solely to write this book.
his research has been quite thorough and objective which is commendable.he mentioned in the book how rutherford didn't want his colporters (pioneers) giving their own sermons or bible interpretation, but instead he had them going door to door with his records.
(i have some converted to mp3, they're very boring).

Let's play the "what if" game - a little thought experiment.
by doubtfull1799 in“if adam and eve hadn’t sinned they would have lived forever and we would all now be still living in paradise” is how watchtower theology goes, right.
(well not us personally, as history would have turned out completely differently and there would be different people on the planet, not us.
when you think about it you owe your very existence to the fact that they didn’t obey.

Summer Warming is a Hoax

anyone whose done any research knows it does not get any warmer in the summer than it does the winter.

Crazy JW Comments On AvoidJW.org
by AverageJoe1 ini read john redwood’s excellent article on avoidjw.org but what was even more mind blowing for me was all the jw comments via disqus at the end of the article:.
http://avoidjw.org/en/news/problems-facing-jw-org/.
they are all the typical lashing out comments based on emotion rather than logical reasoning along with the watchtower apologists thrown in for good measure.. if any of you have a disqus account, then i’d encourage you to have your say.
