if crisis of conscience is one of the top watchtower doctrine killers, what is the coc of theism?.
i'd like to read a book, or other material that does the best job logically arguing for atheism.. i've not read any darwin, however it is my assumption that his focus is primarily on evolution, is this correct?
if you were to recommend one book or a few pieces of reading material, which do the best job of defending atheism, what would they be?.

... the components of religion - e.g. fellowship, purpose, good works, stories, happiness, social coherence, morality,
The day a religion comes up with this, hell, even I'll join.
.. religion gives you a disease and then gives you a placebo for a cure.
Priceless.
a few weeks ago, these two jovies turned up on my doorstep.
being in a good mood that particular day, i told them that if they could prove that god existed, i'd become a jovie - and i meant every word.. they gave me two documents which they asked me read and told me that they'd be back in a week.
the first was called "was life created?

telemetry11 must be so fill of Cognitive Dissonance, and other stuff, that their mind must be doing cartwheels to cope. Either that or telemitry11 is a complete twat.
fact: bible chronology says the flood occurred between 2348 and 2370 bce, depending on which scholar you listen to.
fact: the great pyramid of giza was constructed 200 years before, in c. 2560 bce..
so, if you believe in a literal interpretation of noah's flood, you believe that the egyptians built a great civilization, were destroyed by the flood in 2370 bce, and then somehow, they reappeared immediately after the flood, picked right back up where they left off without skipping a cultural beat.. oh, and isn't it ironic that legitimately studying the great pyramid of giza debunks jw mythology now?

Easy way to resolve this controversy.
Take travelogue book about Egypt with good photos of Great Pyramids to Kingdom Hall.
Consult with Elder and ask him to point out the high water marks.
Elders are so shit thick, they couldn't even point out the pyramids.

Your previous post wasn't quite clear. It is now.
You should give yourself a pat on the back for getting out. You deserve one. I'm only now beginning to understand just how difficult that is.
Take care y'hear?

I don't think happiness is determined at the global level. Surely, it's an individual thing No?

Religtardism does address a need in Man but that need was created by religtards in the first place. It created the need so that that it could then solve it. Cute, no?
What was the need?
The need to cope with the fear of death which didn't exists until the christards came up with the concept of heaven and hell. Before that point, there was simply the 'afterlife' which Man automatically went to following death. One didn't have to prove what a jolly good person one had been in life. We simply went straight to the afterlife. Death, before this point, was accepted by Man as being part and parcel of life.
Then the christards came along and said that there were, in fact, two afterlives. The good went to an afterlife called heaven and the bad went to the afterlife called hell.
Of course, by donating money and land to the christard church, one could book one's place in heaven regardless of how evil one had been in life.
Those at the top of the christard hierarchy used this to reward or to punish the christards at the bottom of the hierarchy. This is called mind control.
So yes, christinsanity does address Man's needs but it was a need created by religtards in the first place.
james harrison is australian and is known as the man with the golden arm.
i've neither researched nor inquired of his religious disposition, but i feel safe assuming he's not now and never has been associated formally with the watchtower organization.
this man is a national treasure and hero of the first order.
Nice post Marvin.
jovies, watch the vid then hang your collective shit heads in shame.
this is from the last talk of the convention ......... clip 1:30 minutes longhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrej8tlyiso&feature=youtu.be.
talked with a pioneer recently, she was recounting her first experience with cart witnessing.. she brought the subject up, was going on & on & on & on about how wonderful the experience was, and how great, and how she enjoyed it so much, and it was so wonderful, and oh jehovah's blessing, and on and on and on...... a few questions to her revealed what really happened:.
-- a jw who owns a small restaurant in a strip mall allows jws to set up their cart outside his restaurant.
-- the restaurant is tucked pretty far out of the way, not prominent at all.

Thought that you'd like this. Sounds appropriate, no?

Excellent.
I do hope that telemetry11 watches it before he posts his next pile of shyte. He/she/it is getting a tad tedious and looking more of a twat with each post.
