About Truth and Religion (famous quote)
by Big Jim inthose who believe in their truth -- the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men -- leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses.
religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.. e.m.cioran (1911-,rumanian-born french philospher)

Hellen Keller On The Bible
by Big Jim inthere is much in the bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much that i regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end.
i do not think that the knowledge which i have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention.

Sacrifice / Death
by Big Jim inperhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.

Majority Rule
by Big Jim innext to inflation, majority rule is the most ingenious scheme ever contrived by government.
most people have never dared to question the basic morality or logic in the assumption that the majority should have power over the minority.
a majority of the people in the south once believed in black slavery.

The Bible (A famous quote)
by Big Jim inwhenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, whith which more then half the bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon then the word of god.
it is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.. thomas paine.
1737-1809,anglo american politicl theorist, writer

Christians and Christianity
by Big Jim inthere were honest people long before there were christians and there are, god be praised, still honest people people where there are no christians.
it could therefore easily be possible that people are christians because true christianity corresponds to what they would have been even if christianity did not exist.

Just An Ideal !!!
by Big Jim inthere are 1370 registered users on this sight, lets say that 1000 of them are pretty serious players when it comes to trying to help jw's with doubt get away from the organization.. this is my ideal,lets say that 1000 users here form a group to help (plant the right seeds of doubt).
the way this could be done is by each person in the group paying a $25.00 fee (which would equal to $25,000.00) to place advertising on billboards located near assembly halls with 1-900 numbers for more information concerning the posted message.. then the money from the 900 numbers could be used to place more billboards near more assembly halls till there was enough out there to really cause a impact on the organization.. what do you think?
i know it is crazy, however it is a fun ideal>
