Are you as critical of higher education and science as you are of religion?
by EndofMysteries ini am beginning to see a complete unbalanced shift from one end of the spectrum to the other.
i'll use jw's as the example but this would apply to any religion and any person.
if you just accepted the jw teachings unquestionably from the governing body because you felt they were the highest authority on the matter and 'trusted' them before waking up to ttatt you may shift to the other end of the spectrum.

The society gets to rent out district convention sites for free!!!??
by EndofMysteries inlook what i just found.... "the jehovahs witness convention, christian congregation was approved for a $30,000 grant to offset the cost of renting veterans memorial arena july 4-6 and july 18-20.".
http://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/showstory.php?story_id=542296.
i wonder how much are they charged for that event or if it ends up being close to free since the city will say it will generate revenue for the city.

Religion VS Atheism and the decline of ethics and morals
by EndofMysteries inbeing back in college after leaving the borg, one of the required classes for a degree at my college is ethics.
after learning a few things, i am curious where morality and ethics is heading for the future of humanity.
i wish i could find the source again, but several weeks ago i recalled reading a transcript of a very old document that talked about when christianity was being spread in europe, it brought civility and community.

Man kills 2 people, mental issues from being kicked out of home for leaving JW's.
by EndofMysteries inhttp://www.ocregister.com/articles/thomas-599418-car-lexus.html.
.
thomas had emotional childhood experiences, including being kicked out of his home when he was a high school senior because he told his mother he didn't want to be a jehovah's witness, istratescu said.. istratescu said it is hard to fathom why a one-time religious, helpful and hardworking father of two, the kind of guy who would give the shirt off his back, would kill.. because the pain inside him is too much to bear, she told jurors..

Time to Scan 1950 to 2000 "Original" WT publications
by EndofMysteries insince the wt library is 2000+ and since they are no longer doing the cd wt cd which had articles from 1950 to 2008, in the future quotes from those dates may be said to be apostate lies.
those who are into preserving the original stuff may want to start scanning those materials, if it hasn't already been done.

In light of the Russia ordeal, what are things that should be banned from the WT
by EndofMysteries ini do believe the authorities should step in to the wt's practices and possibly ban some things, and this would have absolutely nothing to do with freedom of religion.
a few items i'll list will explain.
feel free to give your input too.
