Found another NWT lie! Romans 6:23 - Wages sin pays is death
by Robert7 inso i was speaking to a pastor friend of mine while i was explaining why i have a hard time beleiving how a loving god could send any of his creation to an eternal hell, and i brought up romans 6:23, which says in the nwt "the wages sin pays is death", and mentioned now when we die, our death covers our sins, according to jws.. he said, no, romans 6:23 says "the wages of sin is death".
very different meaning!
the jw translation means when you die, you sins are washed clean.

Scientology Ads - Scarey because they are well made
by Robert7 incheck out these ads about scientology.
scarey because they are actually well done.
imagine if the wts created high-quality ads on a national media campaign, i bet they would get more converts than wasteful door-to-door work.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1rakws6jb4.

As an active JW, did you find the Memorial to be special?
by Robert7 ineven as active jws, my wife and i always found the memorial to be anti-climatic, overhyped.
it was supposed to be the most important event of the year, but it just felt like another meeting.
i just never felt compelled to have to go.

If Atheists ruled the world
by Robert7 inthis is too funny, and scarey.

My 500th Post
by Robert7 inso i hit the 500 post milestone.
when i joined, i had just mentally 'snapped' the day before, and broke out of the mind control.

Met a non-practicing JW at the airport - indoctronization is strong
by Robert7 ini was witnessed from a guy who has never been to meetings!.
so i was sitting at an airport bar, watching the obama parade on tv, and the guy next to me mentions to me that he likes obama, but didn't vote.
this guy does not meet the typical jw profile.

Group Pride Rooted in Insecurity
by Robert7 ininteresting study showing that self-boasting is tied to insecurity & a low social status... gosh how this applies to meetings, since boasting is all they are about!.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20081028/sc_livescience/grouppriderootedininsecurity .
from screaming baseball fans to political rally-goers, groups that engage in boastful self-aggrandizing may be trying to mask insecurity and low social status.
