What Are Your Rights?
by Simon in
1. jw
2. friends
rights seem to be everywhere nowadays.

say hello to someone in the wrong way and you've violated 101 of their human rights.

people imagine they have the right to all sorts of things - food, healthcare, housing, internet ... so many things are labelled basic rights and then you get onto their human rights - a favourite of the do-nothing bodies such as the un to declare.

Do you miss that initial "high" ??
by stuckinarut2 in
1. jw
2. experiences
do you remember the first time you found out "the truth about the truth"?.

yes, it was confronting, shocking and life altering.

yes it was hard to deal with.. but, along with that, many have said that they experienced a sense of thrill, euphoria, or joy when realising the facts about the religion that held us captive mentally and physically for so long.. it was liberating to learn some of the controversial teachings etc.

there is a public talk given by tight pants tony on youtube titled "the real armageddon, why, when"his talk, as usual, doesn't make much sense.

he says armageddon is not a nuclear holocaust or an asteroid hitting the earth it's god's war against all the political nations of the earth.

he talks about a celestial phenomenon that will be phenomenal.

The Book of Revelation
by Jehovah lol in
1. watchtower
2. bible
are there any good scholarly texts on revelation that aren't written from the perspective of a believer?

whenever i try to find anything i can barely get more than a few sentences in before the supposed exegesis starts talking about how it applies to us living today and how we all need to get right with jesus.

i want to find a text that isn't coloured by the preconceptions that come with believing it's all real..
