by BurnTheShips inhttp://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/11/on-dawkinss-atheism-a-response/.
on dawkinss atheism: a responsemy august 1 essay, philosophy and faith, was primarily addressed to religious believers.

Do Elders and Bethelites really follow this site?
by jamesmahon injust a question really and whilst i would not put it past them i sort of feel it is too 'conspiracy theory' for me.
are elders and bethelites officially sanctioned to lurk (or engage) in this or other sites to try to weedle out apostates?
does anyone have any direct experience of it happening?.

Demon possessed furniture?? Any scriptural support?
by digderidoo ini remember instances where we told that the demons could get into the house through furniture or ornaments.
if anyone had a problem in the house with demons, they should remove anything that they may have bought second hand.
i remember one family getting rid of their carpet!.

Knock, knock, who's there?!
by Chalam inhi jwners!.
i thought is might be the postman but then he usually rings the bell ;).
then something told me the jws had come round to "serve me" and looking through the opaque glass on the door seemed to confirm this.. two young ladies started to present their pitch, holding out some wt literature which i declined, explaining i already know enough about their religion as i have a friend who is a jw.. having previously vowed not to waste too much time in circular debate i decided to cut to the chase and leave them with something to ponder so i grabbed my computer and asked them to turn in their nwts to john 6. as i was looking it up, i set the scene and told them it was the bit where jesus was saying people needed to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
