I think women would make a much better job of running the JW's
by Star tiger inwomen are much better at organising and managing things in general, more comprising on issues and coming to an equality of thought, i can say this from a micro management idea of the family budget, if it was down to me the wages would be spent on an ipad 3 with no regard as to how we were to eat for the last three weeks of the month as to what we would do, thank funk for my wife!.
an yet the jw's, seem to hate the ladies, so to be patronising, are much better than a lot of us chaps in keeping the family afloat!.

mankind drives humanity forward not theocracy
by Star tiger inthe gods of the magic books of religion have been proved as useless in the modern age, treating women as second class citizens, gay people not deserving of basic rights, and we're all going to be saved, lol, if we don't let injured persons have blood transfusions, it's time mankind had total free range at our destiny , we can do it on our own, let's forget looking to god's, we now have the technology and know how to do it on our own, the time for god's has gone, they had their own agenda.. it was nothing to do with the human family, they just like playing with us like ants!!!.
let's have a big round of applause for our scientists and technologists who work fearlesly for more cure for our ailments, whilst god's does nothing but blame us for things they would be easily able to cure!!!.

Wheres the safest place on earth to run to!!!
by Star tiger in.
with all the bad things happening now where would be the safest place to be, for myself and and famiy i would expect that would be somewhere in the far east high above the food plain, people there also have much more repect for human life and do not leave their elders to die alone without any respect and have a much nicer famiy society and seem to be much more organised as to their affairs.. .

I'm not sure my wife will ever understand me
by Star tiger insince leaving the witness mentality, i've coming onto the jw.net forum trying to work through ideas and indoctrination of the cult, she will never understand the lack of birthdays and christmas and all the brain washing that has occured during my formative years, she is a wonderful woman who did not have a religious upbringing and is totally up for new ideas, however she finds it a problem that i cannot leave it in the past.. i wish i had a reset button to immediately forget all the stupid ideas that i was brought up with, i'm glad i read crisis of conscience and after that the age of reason.. i still have programs that are running subconsciously that are affecting me, the what if's and the fact that if i rely on my on understanding prove wrong!.
any tips on how to get out of this bad jw mindset!.

Lets give a big hooray, for mankind
by Star tiger ini know that throughout history mankind has made a lot of big mistakes and caused a lot of the suffering that has befallen earth.. let us not forget about the enormous benefits science and our brilliant minds have achieved during the last few hundred years with regard to health, prosperity and welfare that has happened, amazing benefits have happened to longevity and disease prevention have occured in a realitively short period of time.
the future does look rosey.. alas, but for religions they are built on societies that always looked to external forces for our deliverence, we do not need need these ideas anymore.. countries and peoples that look to these ideas are misguided, mankind has all the answers and inteligence to sort them out on their own, no higher power required.. let's have a big round of applause for humankind, we sure don't get enough praise for the things we have achieved.. we are only a young race in the cosmos, and most things we do are for the benefit of mankind.
but it's still best if humans don't have religion!.

As an ex near witness I have a voracious capacity for reading
by Star tiger insince nearly being consumed by witness mentality as an almost baptised member but thankfully due to my fantastic wifes scepticism toward it, i have now embarked on a voracious capacity for reading all the books that were once excluded from my list to get a total rounded out experience of life from the communist manifesto to atlas shrugged, wealth of nations, the age of reason, robert anton wilson, the koran and dare i say it mein kamf, the vedas, but i am still a bit frightened of the golden bough due to the residue of the jw's.
all knowledge must be good, i've read the bible and but it seem a bit meh!, all books have some interesting points, except the nazi one but it's good to read anything you can!.
anybody else obssesed with reading!!.

Should you ever tell tour aging parents the truth about the truth
by Star tiger insince finding out the truth about the truth myself and having successfully extricated myself and my parents about the jw's, i find myself with a new dilema that being they still believe the bible as a literal book for their salvation as i has read all of thomas paines works and how the bible is not very good for the human family, as they are of advancing years would it be inappropriate to shatter their illusions of some kind of paradise and let them flounder in a moral precipice and wonder what their lives have been about.
on the flip side once their time has come how would i feel for not telling them their false views.
at the moment i am in the deist point of view, with a tendency of the agnostic, it is quite a dilema!.

Aquaponics for survival
by Star tiger inin a new world of ever more dependant people the real way to go is self sufficiency, i'm now looking into the aquaponics fish and vegetables as the way of protecting the family from societal destruction, i know that in the us preppers are quite common but in the uk it is seen as a bit of a joke, i'd still rather do something than being without food and water if the worse happens, not armaggedon because that is a total fantasy dreamed up by the jw's.. .
i'm interested if other people are preparing for dangers that may possibly happen.. .

Is it possible to believe in something you can't prove?
by Star tiger inthere is something i have always thought about, can anybody prove the existence of an benevelent god, who claims to love us but constantly proves to elusive, and is a matter of interpretation in the magic book, how can any of us puny humans know his ways, we only know how to procreate, live and eventually die, surely a truely loving father would protect his offspring , i'm thinking that maybe the god of the jehovah's witnesses is truely the demiurge the creator god and not the almighty father that knows all, why else would he be jealous?.
by the way i'm getting fed up with these arguments, and am thinking along the lines of a deist creator one creates and flies on, or even it doesn't exist and it's more of a panspermia thing!.
all the bible does is self validate itself, once you have bought into it, it's very tricky to get out, it's good there are sites like this!!!.
