  it seems that humans are liars by nature and easily deceived at times, so skepticism seems the most rational approach to any experience. experiences are facts of perception, but beliefs about them are made in gross ignorance, even with our best science... and many cannot seem to tell the difference.

  my ex is a jw (as previously mentioned) and is against our son going to see the new movie, despite admitting that he has witness friends who will happily go and see it........oh and he also has witness friends that would dob their brother into the elders for going to see it.. i have just had a bit of a heated debate about it with him (our son is 14, nearly 15) and i just wondered if any of you have good sound reasoning for what is a 'matter of conscience' for these brainwashedd poo brains!!!!!.

  Jws and many other christians FEAR allowing anti-christian thoughts to enter their minds...

  why?

  if they could distinguish between fantasy and reality, they would not be in those religons (^_^)

  I dont recall anything monumental happening in 1975, I so I doubt that in a few years we will hear of the Armegeddon[?] that came invisibly as predicted (^_^)

  do you think that we are of a higher level of intelligence than those who accept euclidian geometry theories?.

  the only universe I know is made up of 5 dimensions. 3 of space 1 of time and one of what if twilightzone alternatives. This 5th dimension impacts all my views, biases, decisions and gambles and so is as real as any of the others. as to the nature of reality, I have found that the universe I know is my own minds map, not the territory and so may not accurately represent reality in any sense...it may be just my dream...thus my name.

  I really want to know more about reality, but I am satisfied understanding the general limitations involved. I do believe we have the ability to sort of back engineer reality from our experiences to a useful degree and thus avoid the absolute confusion of solipsism.

  Why did you get married?

  by pratt1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a young dub in the 80's me along with many of my friends got married, either in our teens or early 20's.. in my area, if you were over 25 and not married, it was percieved that something was wrong with you or you were probably engaging in sex with a "worldly" person.. by why did so many of us feel the need to get married so young?.

  i believe it was because of one of three reasons.. 1. you wanted to get out of your parets home.. 2. you had already gone "too far" with you girlfriend or boyfriend.. 3. you were just an average normal teenager and you knew this was the only way you could legally have sex.. .

  was this true in your area?.

  Do Witnesses have a Stronger Brotherhood than Christendom Does?

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this came up in discussion between me and a fellow ex-dub buddy of mine.. as jw's, we had a brotherly unity.....at least many of us did.

  if we were going somewhere and needed a witness to watch our place....even stay at our place, we had no reserves about being ripped off by them.

  they were closer than some families members oftentimes and we even preferred being around them as opposed to "wordly" family members.

  what do you think causes you to love others? seems to me it is seeing your reflection in them. a kind of narcissism to be sure, but think about it... the more controlling a cult, the more they attempt to make everyone look like each other and that causes this reflection reaction to occur. within such groups you will find some reflect your other interests as well and those you will have even stronger bonds with... ciques will form. there are those who for whatever reason, perhaps they are ugly, fat, socially unacceptable, you will even fight your seeing your reflections, but in high control cults you will be made to feel guilty for doing so...

  in larger churchs like catholic and baptist, there is an aire of we have the truth and we dont even care if you show up to meetings, you will burn in hell if you dont, so there...and seeing your reflection in people there is a lot harder.

  What Lies or False Statements Has The Watchtower Society Been Guilty Of?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for an organization that claims to be the heralder of the "truth", it seems they have a history of mistakes.

  they assert that one must believe their "faithful slave" but who is that "slave"?

  is it charles taze russell or all the anointed ones living on earth at a given time?

  lies:

  1. there is no one ELSE teaching THE TRUTH.

  2. IN THE TRUTH

  3. THE TRUTH

  4. WE KNOW --followed by just about everything they say afterwards

  5. EVIDENCE SHOWS -more lies to follow.

  6. UNDOUBTEDLY - etc.

  7. THIS PROVES....
