i was reading a good article regarding the relative 'craziness' of faiths (blog) and they mentioned a lot about mormons.
in short they talked about the socially accepted craziness (as opposed to actual mental illness) of mainstream , culturally accepted faiths v those that are relatively new.
we see scientology as more crazy than catholicism if we fall into the trap of judging without consideration but when examined all religions have very crazy elements.

Check out this crazy religion, only about 2000 members. A guy that I worked with is a part of this. Him is wife and their 13 children at least at last count.

the plan: the wt corp turns 200 billion dollar $ assets, property, stock, investment, into cash, then sends a check to every member, men women and baptized children.
these people are 7 million in number and now each get a check for $30,000 x 7 million = $200 billion.
the governing body quietly leaves town.
Will they give a check to faders?
my philosophy when i was a teenager :"those who admit to it are stupid ,those who deny it are liars" that was my response to peers who posed such a subject when i was a teen .now, being a mature aged person i think this subject could do with a bit more enlightened content.. i am a male so i can`t speak for the females ,who, i hope will give their input on this topic for discussion.and i mean it as a serious discussion.. males experience erections from the time they are babies and the natural thing to do is to hold it , and before you know it fondling it gives you releif.. society doesnt help by making you feel guilty and like shit as a dirty person.why in the world do babes ,young children ,young boys get erections before they even know what it`s function is for.
if a god designed sex for procreation then surely this wouldnt become an issue until they reached the age of puberty ,not when a male is still a baby.. and getting back to my op nowhere in the bible does it talk about masturbation which surely has been going on since adam was a boy/man.. i`m sorry, but to deny that you would have to be a complete idiot ,imbecile ,fool ,or just brain dead.. so for 4000 years of inspired scriptures from god ,nothing is said about a condition that effects every man from his birth to his death .. makes you wonder doesn`t it ?.
smiddy.

Bad design I guess.

another unforgettable annual meeting.
these questions were answered at the annual meeting held on october 1, 1971. on that occasion, one of the speakers pointed out that the governingbody of the faithful and discreet slave preceded the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania by hundreds of years.

I Have never heard a Witness claim that the flood wiped all the dinosaurs away before.
Many witnesses don't make these claims to "worldly" people (because they know they'll think their batshit crazy) I know when I was in, I watched what I said because I didn't want to turn any off by (thinking I was batshit crazy)

WT.... Has your study of science weakened your faith?
The Prof...On the contrary, science has strengthened my faith.
So this is telling me that the bORG should encourage their youth to go to universities and study science.

so i was working at my 2nd job today in a store and i was the cashier for most of the day.
it's been about 2 weeks since i've been to a meeting & i hadn't shaved so i had a somewhat hipster-ish stubbly beard going on.
also my hair has gotten slightly longer, nothing noticeable to the world but something that would turn a few heads at the kingdom hall.
Good story. It's amazing how dubs think these magazines have some kind of value even if they're old.
