Actually I remember I was devastated when snow forced the cancellation of the Thursday meeting in 1997. It wrecked my perfect attendance, hadn't missed a single meeting for two years running.

Anthony Morris III publicly admits that he doesnt enjoy Field Service
by Calebs Airplane in2pm, january 9, 2010 san juan, puerto rico.... jws from all over the island take turns to use the biggest coliseum in the caribbean (jose miguel agrelot coliseum).
the big event... a brief 2-hour assembly featuring brooklyn bethel celebrities including anthony morris iii.
there had been a lot of excitement building up in the days preceding this event as there were rumors circulating that the society had a very special announcement to make.. after 2 ambiguous talks from 2 bethel speakers, anthony morris iii finally takes the stage and everyone is so thrilled to see him up close or on the big screen behind the stage.

And how many enjoy getting up early on a Sunday to hear Morris III talk drivel from the platform? I guess that's yet another thing you've just "got to do" that nobody enjoys.
Jehovah's Witnesses - the religion of boring things you've just got to do.

SJW thinking on the right: The lack of agency
by bohm inthe nut-left got a dilemma with islamic terrorism: on one hand their natural instinct is to defend muslims from any (perceived) attack on islam and on the other hand radical islam is shock full of values that are 100% opposed to everything they believe: the nut-left would simply be stoned to death in a country which properly followed sharia law.. how do you fix the cognitive dissonance?
well, the standard script includes the following items:.
first, you don't really defend sharia, at least not in its entirety, but spend time talking about the evils of the west, in particular, israel.

I can't see a thing wrong with what the first woman said.
The second one appears to be some sort of performance art, quite good.

I will only believe in demons if...
by deegee injws are known to have an obsession and preoccupation with demons.. this obsession and preoccupation is not without merit given that jesus, his disciples/apostles, and the general public of 1st century ce judea and galilee are reported as believing in the existence of demonic spirits and in the possibility of demon possession of an individual.. exorcism formed a large part of jesus' ministry on earth.
the gospels and the book of acts describe many exorcisms where jesus and his disciples release people from demonic possession.. ___ .
but how do demons get inside a person's brain or body?

It was a joke because many of your posts begin saying, "just to let everyone know here that I am a Jew". I thought there was a joke to made somewhere, but I had trouble identifying the exact location of the comedy.
Incidentally I have a Jewish name but I don't think I'm actually a Jew. How can I tell?

No they are both wrong I didn't read it carefully, plus there's some sort of sophisticated parody going on in the text that may have escaped me.
I have noticed that whenever anyone uses the phrase "social justice warrior", which is a fairly new one on me, as if it's a real thing, the accompanying argument is invariably garbage.

I'd prefer to say ironic, because I didn't mean to be unfriendly. ;-)

David are you a Jew by any chance? I had no idea. I guess it's just something you haven't felt bothered to mention in discussions.

The first one is nonsense. The second one is obvious. Overall I gave it a like.

Morality Without Deity
by cofty inone of the most persistent arguments for belief in god centres on the necessity of an ultimate law-giver and epitome of goodness.. a softer version is seen in the genuine concern that a loss of faith will result in a corresponding loss of a moral compass - a more strident argument links the existence of good and evil with proof of the reality of god.
it is often asserted that without god, moral decisions degenerate to nothing more than personal preferences and the victory of "might is right".. i want to succinctly lay out my response as an atheist, and show that a supreme being is not required for objective morality.. it is helpful to distinguish between absolute morality, objective morality and subjective morality.
christian apologists frequently conflate the first two, and secular debaters often fail to point out the difference.. theists who disagree on everything else, are unanimous that god is perfectly good.

A detailed study of embryology shows conclusively that a new unique person does not exist the moment a sperm penetrates an egg.
How does that prove life isn't sacred from conception?

What I miss about going out in service.
by compound complex inwell, very little, to be honest.
the structure and commitment of the ministry provided discipline necessary to my life.
therefore, i did it, as required, and felt some sense of fulfillment at the bible study stage.. i do like talking to people.

What I liked was to see the look of appreciation on the householder's face when I explained kingdom truths straight from the Bible.
