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.

something in crisis of conscience i didnt know about... that shocked me
by candidlynuts inon page 164- 166 , in the chapter titled " double standards" subheading " two sorts of weights for measuring".
the administration of the headquarters of jehovah's witnesses many decades ago decided that, because of the exsisting law, jehovah's witnesses in mexico would present themsevles , not as a religious organization, but as a "cultural" orginazation.
the local corporation there formed " la torre del vigia,was so registered with the government of mexico(footnote).

Why ? Why? WHY???
by rune inthis topic has been rolling around in my head for some time.
i don't expect that i'll write it perfectly as it needs to be articulated in different ways for different people...but i will do my best.
and worst of all, i am not expecting any kind of response that will satisfy me.

"Kids say the darndest things."
by formerout ini have personally been reading a lot more of the "serious" posts lately and thought it would be good for me (and hopefully others) to share a bit of humour.
i will start by telling a funny little story about what my six year-old daughter said this weekend:.
i played touch football this fall on weekends.

How do the people who run the WTBTS Society view the Org.?
by formerout inquite often when reading some of the topics and posts i see comments about how all the big-wigs at the wtbts care only about the printing company, etc.
i have been accused of being a little too naive or trusting in the past, but i tend to think that even a lot of the higher-ups in the kh's and even at bethel believe that it is in fact the one true religion.
i tend to believe that a very small percentage of them figure that it's just a way to make money, etc.. what do you think?

Best to worst...... as far as religions go.
by formerout ini have spent a fair amount of time in court lately.
lawyers and their so-called absolute "logic" is interesting.
they lie and call it "justified reasoning" in order to comply with their most important oath of doing the best for their client, axe murderer or not.
