  So, undercover, you know where I am, where do you suggest I find people that are not religious freaks or who would not be horrified if I told them I was an atheist???

  JWoods, If I attended, it would be for social reasons as well... I'm an atheist, but live in a very conservative area. Finding a social outlet that would attract open minded people is difficult in my neck of the woods, so the UU's seem intriguing to me...

  Has anyone here gone that route? I've been reading up on them and they sound interesting. They even accept atheists! They are a"creed-less" religion and their focus is on the betterment of mankind, not on judgement. They believe the Bible was written by men, has some interesting, even helpful, stuff, but is not inspired. Same goes for other relgious books. The local minister for the cong. in my town is agnostic. How cool is that?

  They do a lot of good work in the community and their sermons (read some online) are about very interesting, thought provoking topics. So... does anyone have any personal experiences with this group?

  Today's Drama

  by 5thGeneration in

  went to the convention today.. don't know if this was posted on but one thing bugged me above and beyond.. it was how the drama interjected modern day theocratic terms.. 'the elders want the brothers to leave jerusalem...'.

  'i just got back from preaching and so-and-so wants to start coming to the meetings...' .

  really disingenuous.

  Same type of thing disturbed me about the Timothy drama a few years ago (Last DC I attended). They took some known biblical characters and placed them in a made up scenario. I don't recall hearing a disclaimer saying, "this is not really in the Bible". In fact, in discussing it with a witness friend, she actually thought it was.

  Was a disclaimer made regarding this year's drama?

  In WT land, if it's a known fact that 2 unmarried/unrelated people of the opposite sex sleep under the same roof, it is considered proof of hanky panky.
