over the years, i have posted all of the chapters from my atheist's book of bible stories on this site.. however, since the original posting, many of the chapters have been polished and updated.. the complete book is now available for downloading, if anyone is interested: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qwpjol.
The link is not working. But I've been thinking a lot about this lately. We publish books that show in vivid color that the world was destroyed by a flood, but there are not really any childrens books that present the history of the earth and human life as scientists currently understand them.
A whole generation is being taught that every animal was really put into a wooden box and preserved. Our children will be ashamed of us!!!
yes, i plan to break the 10 "witness commandments" on my birthday!
any idea's...did i miss any?
i can't think of ten!.
PS- Dont smoke the cigar and give blood too close to each other. Not a moral directive, just a little common sense.
PSS- I like to do both. I try to do them on separate days, though.
all my years of camping , hiking, yard work and gardening and now i get a poison ivy rash .
(one week away from our vacation .
) i am all itchy , scratchy and down right bitchy right now .
Give the predisone a day or two- it'll dry you right up. I get a course annually for poison ivy.
marriage and parenthood in this time of the end .
responsible marriage .
hence, those who keep on working hard to preserve their marriage because they want to remain faithful to their wedding vow deserve respect and loving help from the christian congregation.
The orgs meddling in family relationships and decisions is one of the most outrageous invasions of privacy about this religion. Telling people that maybe they shouldn't get married or have children so that they can sell magazines for more hours or work at Bethel is ridiculous.
having problem pasting this...
I remember Abrahamson. He was a smart guy- you had to think fast just to keep up with his talks. Later he was made, basically, the CFO of Bethel. Treasurers office was still GB (Swingle at the time) but that was mostly a figurehead position. Abrahamson's office was in control of accounting, etc. He swept through and revolutionized they way things were handled. He even took down some old kingdoms inside Bethel. One great move was making phone service affordable to Bethelites. To do that, he had to take down the "Communications" fiefdom. (Before that the rates that Bethel would charge Bethelites were outrageous- you really couldn't make phone calls)
He died recently. My thought was- there was a good man who will not be replaced quickly. I'm sure the financial departments he turned around are back to being fiefdoms performing their work in a really backwards way.
fellow jwders,.
let us join in giving heart-felt thanks to the loyal worshiper of jehovah who took the time to post this year's dc drama on youtube.. i'm sure the wt is cool with this.

Well, it looks like the overexaggerated gestures and piss poor acting are still the same.
This drama tried to cover just about everything and on a really slippery slope: apostacy, materialism, higher education, idolatry, dressing all fancy, not being poor, making big old fat idols to be placed in the arena. And how twisted was the girl who watched her buddy get killed by lions. Are they really that desparate for viewers. Its like the plot of a poorly thought out SciFi Channel series that only makes it two episodes.
I agree- quote of the drama- He's an apostate- he's encouraging everyone to help the poor and learn medicine!!
(The world needs more apostates!!)
i'm an avid reader of steve wells' blog on religion and atheism.
this article discusses the hebrew god (we all know him as joe hoobie) and his propensity for burning people to death.

But what if its cold out???
Or what if you need some more light??
do you believe the story of adam and eve?
why or why not?
Of all the quaint little "beginning of the universe stories" in all the cultures on the planet- this Jewish one just happened to be picked up by the Roman Empire and distributed (via sword and burning at the stake) to most of Western Civilization. Now, when polled, most Americans will tell you that it really happened.
Who said that the Roman Empire wasn't powerful???
Who said that civilization has really advanced???
thought this was very interesting comming from a person that has no reason to want to lie about russell.

PS- No cross and crown arguments, no pyramid arguments, please, I don't think they prove anything.
Reptilian bloodline- I think not.
A bunch of guys with delusions of grandeur who tried to influence world events to their own profit- sounds reasonable- I see stuff like that every time I go to a bar- usually it never makes it past the bar napkin, though.

Sorry, I watched this time and my curiosity got the best of me. Who is this guy Icke? Whats up with his off hand remark about the "Russell foundation" running drugs into China during the Opium wars? He said those things like...well, as everbody knows....
Has anyone with any serious cred. ever said anything about that??
