How many of you atheists, agnostics, deists are celebrating Xmas??
by SweetBabyCheezits inwe are celebrating xmas this year for the first time.
it's kinda weird because, even though we're doing a xmas tree, decorations, gifts, we're more or less taking the christ out of christmas.
so how about the rest of you non-christian heathens?.

Cognitive dissonance... help!
by ele_lux insomething strange (maybe not) is happening to me.
when i come here, or get online and find proof that jehovah's witnesses are not "the truth", or when i talk to my brother and really think stuff through, i'm absolutely convinced that i'm doing the right thing by leaving before i get older and waste more of my life.. but when i'm tired or scared or in some other way not fully active in thought, i still feel guilty and fearful that armageddon will come and i'll regret this.. i had expected that the moment i consciously and in use of reason convinced my self that this wasn't the truth, i'd be mentally free from it.
but i still feel its grip on the back of my mind.. what can i do to get rid of that dissonance (or whatever it's called)?.

What is the distinction between dogmatism and sincere conviction ?
by caliber ini do sincerely want you opinions .
is there a difference in sharing your hope as opposed with pushing your religion ?.
is it in attempting to set some sort of standard for other peoples lives or what makes the difference in your view ?.

JWs doctrine is a comprehensive falsehood
by sabastious ini have been reading through djeggnog's posts.
this man is a wt doctrine expert, it's scary.. i think him, and a lot of wt junkies i know believe in this wacky theology so much because they have literally tomes of analysis on it.
every argument we have every come up with (and some we have not) seem to have been discovered by the wt leaders and incorporated into their immense theology.. the problem is, that it is littered with fallacious logic and outright falsehood.. but the devout members (like djeggnog) stand by the whole because they are so proud of the comprehensive theology they have created.
