A video explaining why JW's will lie at the door and to each other, though bored out of their gourds

Did you ever have "faith" in the sense that emotion-based religions promote and rely on?
by gubberningbody ini didn't.. when i was a jw i thought i had all the facts and that it might be difficult to see the truth, but if one were to spend the time he or she would be able to see it.
i thought that only laziness, lack of interest in truth, lack of time due to pressing physical needs, or lack of basic native intelligence was a barrier to my sort of "faith".
i used to liken it to learning physics, calculus or organic chemistry.

The "You're not important enough to God Argument for Communication" doesn't work
by gubberningbody inunless you submit that the power of god is limited and that each communication takes a toll on him..

Can anyone come up with a morally acceptable reason for waiting thousands of years to end wickedness?
by gubberningbody ini can't.. some bar-bet between jehovah and satan balanced against all the evil allowed just doesn't wash..

The phrase "Playing God" is, with a moment's reflection, actually an indictment of God
by gubberningbody infrom time to time we hear people someone condemn someone or some entity for "playing god.
if it's not morally upright for an individual or an entity to "play god" (we're not talking about identity, because god can't be anything but what s/he/it is), then why is it morally upright for god to "play god"?..
the obvious answer is that it isn't..

You know what's funny to me is how JW's will trash talk all these other religions and yet
by gubberningbody inwhen they are faced with "picking on someone their own size", like an ex-jw, they insist that "we don't talk about religion".. my wife and i ate with a couple from our old hall last saturday.
super nice couple.
reasonable, fairly well adjusted (which is to say with significant worldly tendencies - they were successful in business, they were going on a sailing trip for a couple of weeks in the carribbean, the following day they were going golfing and going out on the town) and yet we had to avoid discussing "the truth".. ok, i understand the dissonance these are going through, but c'mon!

When I read that the governing body announces that Jehovah is "speeding things up"
by gubberningbody inand that the "work is increasing", when it clearly isn't it makes me think of this clip from monty python.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkhew7nd9c4.

JW Euphemisms
by gubberningbody inshepherding = spying on, interrogating, hassling.
encourage = hassle, pester.
evidently = no logical segue, so we just assume it.
