The Number of the Beast
by Duncan inthere?s been a few posts about this lately, and it got me thinking?
reflecting back on all the wt literature i studied over a 20 year period, there were among it all some ideas and stuff which you could charitably say were ?right?, plenty of things that were just flat-out wrong, and a fairly high count of ideas that were simply bonkers.
the thing that always struck me, though, about the watchtower teaching to do with the beast and its devilish number 666, was how utterly lame it all was.

Sister Doreen and the Real-Life Noah's Ark Survivors
by Duncan inone of the things that has interested me over the many years since i?ve been out of the watchtower is the mindset of the ?intelligent?
christian fundamentalist.
specifically, i mean the educated type, the sort who really ought to have enough educated reasoning skill and basic native brain-power to see the hopelessness of the fundie position on all that early-genesis mythical stuff, but who doggedly sticks to it (or pretends to in public) as if it were a respectable, logical scientific point of view, as if it really were gospel.
