  If you want a city by the sea try Portsmouth. Proper maritime history there!

  Yeah Yeah!!! Pompey is is just a suburb of Southampton with a shit football team and a tower that should have been painted red and white ...

  Proof - of what?

  by Doltologist in

  a few weeks ago, these two jovies turned up on my doorstep.

  being in a good mood that particular day, i told them that if they could prove that god existed, i'd become a jovie - and i meant every word.. they gave me two documents which they asked me read and told me that they'd be back in a week.

  the first was called "was life created?

  Penrose's statistics are meaningless based on the probability of one universe.His calculations didn't take the multiverse theory into account making it an untestable claim.

  I wonder what his calculation for the probability of a highly intelligent designer coming form nothing would be?

  The bottom line line is this - the we can prove the universe exists, there is no such evidence for gods.

  so the other day i was walking through the huge local regional outlet shopping mall.

  i see this sign "how do deal with anxiety" didn't take very long at all to confirm it was a jw booth.. that sign bothered me.

  do jw actually think they have something to say about anxiety?

  The BOE just took it in stride, I saw it as straight up robbery, WE raised that money, WE allocated those funds to be used at our hall, WTS takes the money and then tells us how we can't use the money WE saved.

  You'd think that would piss a few of the hard working rank and file off.....

  RC musings - my impressions

  by Doubting Bro in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i went to the rc this past weekend and have a few observations:.

  1 - use of videos - most parts had some sort of video prop.

  they ranged from awkward (an example was on friday where they showed scenes of nature without a real purpose other than god made this) to very well done.

  A difficult yet necessary decision

  by Brother Jeramy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the past five weeks have been perhaps the most painful in my life as a witness.. some months ago a young man (i'd say in his late thirties or early forties) began attending meetings at my kingdom hall.

  he had just moved to my area from another state.

  he had disassociated himself from his home congregation many years back, when he was 20 years old and going through many of the typical trials and temptations most young men experience.. two of the elders met with him initially, and they later shared the details with the body of elders.

  Brother Jeramy, that fact that you empathised with this man's mistreatment and have felt moved to act means you are an upright and honest guy. Leaving the lie is going to be the making of you. I wish you every success as you walk the path of freedom.
