Some people followed Jehovah's Organization, and God killed 'em
by AlmostAtheist ingina and i were batting around how the organization calls itself "god's channel" out of one side of their mouth and then reminds everyone that they are "imperfect men" out of the other.
this allows them to claim a position of authority as "god's organization" while at the same time allowing them to make mistakes and get away with it.
(1975, "generation", all the flavors of blood, etc).

How to handle dubs [stupid lack of] reasoning
by AlmostAtheist inwhen i discussed birthdays with my ms father-in-law, i brought up how eye-makeup has pagan roots, is only mentioned twice in the bible, and both times it is associated with someone wicked guilty of murder.
in every way, it is identical to birthdays, yet it isn't condemned.
he said, "we're not talking about make-up, we're talking about birthdays.".

Revelation 11:18 ("bring to ruin those ruining the earth") Meaning?
by AlmostAtheist inhey folks,.
just curious, any concensus on what john actually meant here?
i doubt a guy in the first century could honestly envision a time when mankind could genuinely "ruin the earth" if the idea struck them.

Should I teach my kids about Santa Claus? (Lie vs. Harmless Fantasy)
by AlmostAtheist inmy wife and i got on a discussion about something i never would've guessed we'd need to.
she wants to teach our new baby about santa claus, easter bunny, & tooth fairy, but i don't.
of course, as witnesses we never would have taught that, and i have to acknowledge that i may only be reasoning using that old set of values.. i don't want to look into my kid's eyes and tell her something that i know for a fact isn't true.

So much for "fading"... we're out!
by AlmostAtheist ingina just got off the phone with her mom.
we were tired of lying to these otherwise nice people, not to mention disinfecting the car of all "worldly" paraphenalia, and fearing the inevitable "pop-in" visit while holiday decorations are up.
she felt bad about it, and so did i. but now it's over.
