22Pagan Origins
by Illuminated inwhy are jw's not allowed to do certain things because they have "pagan origins", yet the very same roof over their head and the the food they place into their mouth is purchased through money with pagan origins on it?
pagan symbolism is all over money.
so if the wt leaders are so against paganism, why are they insisting "jehovah's" earthly organization needs pagan money to sustain itself, yet disfellowshipping members if they cross the line into paganism?.

Light Getting Brighter
by awokenjw inhello, maybe someone on here can make some sense out of this:.
one of the reasons why jws are so quick to believe any changes from the gb is that they believe the light is getting brighter.
now there have been some teachings that to my knowledge changed at one point but then were reverted back to the original teaching.

Perhaps there is a short circuit somewhere. Or Jehovah is f'ing with the GB.

These are excellent questions to ask any JW. I suspect you'll get some bs answer like 'the lite getting brighter' or the stunned deer-in-the-headlights look.

LOL @ the vid. And congratulations! Funny, isn't it though, that Armageddon still hasn't arrived.
I remember being told I'd never have to go to high school because Armageddon was so close. Then one day, I'm sitting in one of my high school classes and it suddenly hit me. "Heeeey... I'm not supposed to be here."
But there I was.

by smiddy inwoody harrelson and mathew mcconaughey { standing at the back of the k..h..during a meeting }.
w.h.. "what do you know about these people " { who get their higher education reading and studying the watchtower and awake magazines} ?.
"just observation and deduction , i see propensity for obesity , poverty, a yen for fairy tales , folks putting what few bucks they do have into contribution boxes .. i think it`s safe to say that nobody here is going to be splitting the atom.

I did like the Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey team in "True Detective". I've seen that episode and it struck me how well it could be applied to not just JWs but many religious people I've had discussions with. -

The Old Age
by Caupon inso now that most of us have come to a semi truthful understanding that the witnesses are wrong about evolutionist, there is a certain question that i have always had.
now if you were to ask any jw, they'd recite a complete fallacy from scientist regarding this.
but what is you guys input of this.

I am a little confused and a lot concerned as to why the radioactive decay of elements is considered a difficult concept to grasp. All organic matter breaks down. Each element has its own rate of decay. Uranium has the longest rate, spanning 100s of thousands of years.
What is being taught in the schools today re: Science? The construction of the elements, their properties, including radioactive decay were all part of my high school Science education. Are students not being taught the Periodic Table of Elements and what constitutes the known elements on Earth?
