Why I lost my faith in the bible.
by cyberjesus inwhen i realized the nwt was "corrupted" by the egocentric mistranslation of the idiotic figure of "frederick w. franz" and his slaves.. whom i blindly trusted due to the indoctrination of my parents.
i questioned who others might have deceived me as well.
how can i trust the other translations of the bible, its authenticity and its reliability since all my beliefs were based on that book.. so i read, researched, considered, compared and reason the evidence available, many books... today i just discovered a documentary from pbs that summarizes pretty well why i came to my position regarding the bible.. i hope you enjoy it...or you suffer as much as i did when i realized it.

Scientific Method VS ????
by SweetBabyCheezits inthis was a tangent from another thread in which we were debating faith and science... psacramento (thx) rightly pointed out that i was digressing so here' s a new thread.. .
imo, it all comes down to (religious) people trying to pin an absolute answer on an unexplained event.
(ie, the first cause = creation by judeo-christian god, holy spirit coming upon someone, or a demon experience...).

the burden of proof
by InterestedOne inhere is a video discussing the burden of proof.
i think it is worth understanding and keeping in mind when groups such as jehovah's witnesses make extraordinary claims.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaybys8gajy&feature=g-vrec.

Looking for letters between elder and Society on blood issue
by SweetBabyCheezits inwhen i was lurking earlier this year, i came across correspondence (several letters spanning many years) between an elder and the branch regarding the blood policy.
if i remember correctly, the elder started off humbly asking for additional information so as to reason with professionals in the medical field, with whom he had regular contact through his job.
by the last letter, he had stepped aside after being blown off repeatedly ("let the matter rest").. i cannot remember any decent search criteria.

Any ArkLaTex folks going to DC at CenturyTel (Bossier City, LA) this weekend?
by SweetBabyCheezits ini'm kinda obligated to make an appearance there for the sake of, well.... appearances.
thankfully we don't have to go on sunday and be forced to sit through the "stirring" drama.
it's funny that the part of the convention i anticipated most when i was a kid (sara lee cheese danishes, notwithstanding) is now the main thing i don't want my own kids to see.
