The Best Advice You Can Give
by AllTimeJeff inthe best advice you can give.
jehovah's witnesses (jw's), and other religions like them are at the forefront of advice giving.
you will frequently hear them talk about the value of experience, common sense, but especially the "widsom from above".

Whats Your Level of Maturity? Spiritually That Is.....
by AllTimeJeff inon a recent essay i posted here re: gilead, i made reference to the fact that a "mature" person from the jw/gb point of view is one who accepts without question the teachings of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, whereas "immature" ones question the teachings of the gb.
i used this as a reference point concerning the gb's cynical use of the bible.
but it seems to have struck a chord.

Jehovah's Witnessees and the Truth vs the Lie
by AllTimeJeff inthere are several places on the internet where the hypocrisy of jehovah's witnesses is on full display.
what i am about to write is not new, but it is on my mind, so i thought i would write about it.
(disclaimer, i am an agnostic writing this, using the bible against jw lies.

What Gilead Taught ME
by AllTimeJeff inthey mean the leadership.
all of this is code for: one who is not ready to really study and accept how the leadership of jehovah's witnesses use the bible to their own self serving means.
but to be fair, jw's teach that most all of these characters refer to the leadership of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body.

it won't be exclusively about jehovah's witnesses, but it will frequently have my take on this fruity little cult.

From Know It All Religon to a simple Know It All?
by AllTimeJeff ini was just curious for those of you who have left for at least a little time if you look back on yourself when you first left the borg and had this happen; because you were suddenly free to think, you thought you were right about most things soon after you left........ my jw experience groomed in me a disposition that i was always right.
that personality trait didn't leave just because i left jw's.
i realized one day last year that i thought in much the same ways i did as a jw, that is, i never questioned my own assumptions.. we were told that jw's were "the most educated people on earth".

The Culability of Jehovah's Witnesses and Pedophilia
by AllTimeJeff inthe subject of pedophilia and the sexual abuse of children often is complicated.
by that i don't mean that it is complicated to know how to deal with pedophiles.
they have a despicable problem in their minds and need to be identified and controlled for all children's sake as well as for their own sake.

It Is Very Cruel of God....
by AllTimeJeff inthiests like to portray their god as who they want him to be.
please allow me to use some extreme examples: the god of abortion clinic bombers worship a vengeful god and are convinced that this is what they should do to please him.
ditto those who commit hate crimes against homosexuals, or terrorist acts.
