I don't know how to ask this ?
by boy@crossroads inok so anyway i have been fading for a little over a year now.
during that time i have been primarily focusing on improving my social skills: reconnecting with old high school pals, trying to make sense of the world, trying to connect with others, opening myself up to new belief systems, activities.
now that i am becoming more comfortable around people i am considering pursuing a relationship with someone.

Is anyone aware of a concise, definitive work on religious freedom?
by Check_Your_Premises ini am looking for something that talks about the importance of a person being able to worship free from coersion.
the idea being that if a person requires coersion to be faithful, what does that say about their faith?
therefore the best way to argue for/against a religion or doctrine is through a free and open exchange of debate and ideas.

Does the Bible interpret itself, or a fiddle you can play any tune with?
by Rod P intesting this thread.
well, after three times, it finally worked.
why are there so many religions all professing belief in the bible, yet all of them interpret the bible differently?

After Reading CoC It Seems This Could Apply to Dub Loyalty to the Org - LOL
by adelmaal inthe below analogy made me think about how in coc whenever a new article comes out in the wt the dubs loyally obey without questioning whether or not it has any bible basis or whether or nor it is morally right (i.e.
disassociated ones to be shunned just as disfellowshipped ones, ones who personally disagree with any of the established beliefs (even if they are not outwardly promoting such disagreement) are to be considered apostates and should be disfellowshipped, etc.).
it's amazing how the org can say it's black even if it's white and blind faith causes the dubs not to question it.

She keeps making eyes at me but I'm not interested. :S
by Elsewhere inat work there is this girl there who keeps making eyes at me, but i'm not interested.
on top of that, she keeps trying to strike up conversations and she goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... its amazing!
never a pause between sentences and barely a any space between words... just a very very long series of words coming out of her mouth non-stop.

Men in the Passenger Seat / Questions 4 Women Drivers
by prophecor inanyone ever notice new couples, the woman who's doing the driving while the man has to assume the position of passive passenger?
call me crazy, ok, my wife does, all the time, but are you able to detect a sense of minimal self esteem issues when watching him.
you can almost always tell when it's not his car, there's an entirely different demeanor to his persona, he appears submissive, more humble.

I now consider myself to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses
by jaffacake insix months ago i knew nothing about the watchtowe religion.
i had not read my bible for more than 25 years, and had gradually drifted between atheism and agnosticism, without giving any thought to what those terms meant.
then my lifelong friends started studying with jws.
