I heard speculation that the Bosh/Gore election (hanging chads) and Bush's victory was Jehovah's hand playing into his plans... Of course Bush did screw things up pretty bad, but the world keeps turing...

Widespread speculation you'll never see in print?
by Mickey mouse injws are very good at whipping up speculation without ever putting a word in print.
maybe they learned something from 1975.. what are some of the things you remember hearing that are not "official doctrine" but lots of jws believe it anyway?.
i've heard a lot of speculation that armageddon would either happen on nisan 14 or in october around the time they reckon the gentile times ended in 1914.. name some of the topics you've frequently heard unsanctioned speculation about.. .

Did there ever come a time where the meetings became unbearable?
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini try to attend about 3 sunday meetings per month just to keep my whole family from disowning me.
every week the meetings become more difficult to attend.. the singing is awful,the prayers are all about the ''faithful and discreet slave''.the talks are boring and repetative.the watchtower study reminds of trained seals at the zoo where they do the same tricks over and over just so they can get their treat of fresh fish.
the answers are short and read off the watchtower magazine word for word.

This used to kill me! EVERY prayer, every WT, all worshipping the FDS. Something was wrong!

"Evolution and Atheism are both theories......."
Don't read into it too much, as I am an Agnostic myself. All I meant is that Atheism means that part of your beliefs of the origin of the universe and life is that you do not believe in any God, and since it can't be proven, isn't that a theory?
And the only reason I say I'm Agnostic and not Atheist is for this reason. If I cannot disprove God, there's a "chance" there is one, of some kind, and therefore I am Agnostic.

Why do you say atheism is a theory?
I guess only in that "knowing there is no god" is just as unprovable as "Knowing there is a god". I'm basically on the same Atheist page as you, so I'm not trying to convince anyone of God, but I just want to admit to uncertainty.

LOL!! Did you notice the picture of the tract "Who will conquer the world in the 1970's" And someone commented "Who did conquer the world in the 1970's?"
Boy do they not realize this tract likely was predicating the 1975 fiasco!

Why I am an atheist
by Awakened at Gilead insomeone (a born-again exjw) on youtube asked me why i was an atheist... i crafted a brief response... it follows:.
1. religious reason: there is no proof for god outside of the bible.
once i dropped my belief in the bible, the judeo-christian concept of god fell apart like a house of cards.

I agree with everything above, except that since we cannot disprove God, I'm Agnostic and not Atheist. Just terminology I guess :)

I also agree with "I don't know". Evolution and Atheism are both theories that cannot be proven as much as God cannot be proven.
There is a big possiblity that man has no idea about creation, and there's nothing wrong with trying to find out, but there's also nothing wrong to say that we yet don't know.
