Analogy for arguing with a Witness
by sabastious ini have had several fights with my mother over the past few months.
she had been, to my guess inadvertantly, hanging shunning me or not over my head.
however recently i believe she has made her choice to associate with me.

An infinite amount of monkeys, I mean hours.
by sabastious inthe watchtower has been known to add all their hours into one giant mathematically useless statistic numbering in the billions.
i find it humorous that little publisher timmy's hours, sitting in the car with his parents all day, are considered the same statistical value as a pioneer with decades of experience.
it reminds me of casino's calling pennies "credits": you just won a hundred credits!

The Evolution of Morality
by sabastious inthe bible provides context for understanding the complete picture of the evolution of morality.
the old testaments ten commandments are a good starting place not because of their moral superiority, but because of their historical relevance.. .
take the bibles commandment of "thou shall not murder" for example.

Do you think Jehovah's Witnesses have more attractive young adults than average?
by sabastious ini was recently hanging out with someone that went to the convention last weekend.
he/she mentioned that the convention was chock full of hotties and from my memory of the conventions, and i have been to dozens, he/she was right.
one thing that comes to mind is that witnesses can lose privileges within the congregation if they are too dirty so cleanliess (neatness) is especially important.

Jude 1 3:-14 - Description of ungodly people
by sabastious in3 dear friends, although i was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, i felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to gods holy people.
4 for certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you.
they are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our god into a license for immorality and deny jesus christ our only sovereign and lord.. 5 though you already know all this, i want to remind you that the lord at one time delivered his people out of egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.

The Organization Who Cried Nationalism
by sabastious inone of the first things i sunk my teeth into when i left the watchtower was national politics.
for the better part of my life i considered national politics as a dirty, or unholy, thing entirely.
i actually cannot remember a single positive thing said about politics during my childhood.

Should we protect the minds of the future?
by sabastious ini think it can be agreed upon that a young person becomes troubled because of something lacking rather than just something inherently wrong with the person.
the reaction youths have on adversity can either build the person up or tear it down.
their reaction to adversity is caused by the their various interaction with their environment including the people within it, namely their parents.
