Satan is a human creation to shift the primary blame and foundational responsibility of evil and badness away from the human species and place it on the shoulders of a mythological creature.

Islam's Psychotic Obsession With Hell
by cofty inevery word this man preaches is official muslim doctrine.. fear of hellfire is central to the life of every muslim.
it is axiomatic that every non-muslim, all kaffir like you and i will spend eternity in hell.. just like roman catholicism and evangelical christianity it is a cult of fear and of death.
unlike christian writers mo was not coy about describing the details of hellfire.. i have just finished reading two autobiographies by ayaan hirsi ali who is a muslim "apostate" and lives under a death threat.

A question that bugging me
by wheelwithinwheel inwhy it has been deemed appropriate to assign brothers and sisters in each international convention city to spend hours and hours making souvenir grab bags full of knick-knacks.
and to assign other brothers and sisters to spend hours and hours preparing choreography, music, lighting, costumes and props, and practicing and practicing cowboy songs, pop music, dance and jw.org skits.. .
and to assign other brothers and sisters to spend hours and hours constructing giant bibles popping out of jw.org boxes and giant bibles turning into baptismal pools.. .

It's called "Busy Work". Keep the sheeples busy with inane tasks and hopefully they will be too busy to begin critically analyzing the Borg.

Jehovanomics RULE #4: Printing and Selling Marketing Materials To The Members
by Jehovanomics inthe number one consumer and purchaser of printed marketing materials by the jehovah witnesses are the members.
steady cash flow is obtained from consistent and steady sales of printed materials and marketing fixtures to the members.
free labor further improves the margins and cash flow as no payroll taxes are paid due to preferred irs tax status.. .

I remember there being actual prices printed on the ragazines when I was a kid. I found this to be a contradiction to the religious view that 'money is the root of all evil' which my parents had said several times to me.
My Mom used to have a paid subscription but that all stopped once the Botchtower had to start paying taxes. Now it's by 'donation'.

When we are children, we are told what to believe. I used to believe in God as well as the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.
But then I grew up.

JW attitudes to women
by Frazzled UBM ini would be very interested to hear from you ladies on this one.
i know that the society keeps women in subjugation through the headship cr@p but didn't ahve any sense about hoew prehistoric the attitudes are until the other day when we were driving out of the supermarket car park and my wife spotted a woman dressed in tight shorts (it has been very hot here) and she commented 'they say that women who dress like that dserve to be raped'.
i did a wtf and overreacted 'how can you blame the victim like that - such attitudes give men a lciense to commit rape and make women feel they are to balme if they get raped which in turn means that rape doesn't get reported and it gopes on with impunity.

Misogyny/ subjugation of women/ patriarchy ... one of the key reasons I could never be a JW. I realized this as a teenage girl.
According to Gerda Lerner who has studied the history of women, Patriarchy was a human invention, created in the Bronze Age in an attempt to deal with problems at that time. It was created well before the Bible. She authored a book called "The Creation of Patriarchy" which I am interested in reading. Has anyone here read it?
An interview with Gerda on this subject: http://www.intuition.org/txt/lerner1.htm
"I think it has outlived its usefulness by quite a few centuries already, and you want to remember about that, that it came out of a warfare society, OK? It was a system adapted to a society torn by constant war and destruction, in which stability was the most desired goal." - Gerda Lerner
