Seduction, psychosis and radicalisation
by Half banana inthe jw delusion is a psychosis i.e.
the holding on to a belief irrespective of sound evidence to the contrary.
it has everything to do with the indulgent pleasure of embracing an all encompassing idea which promises to resolve every human frailty and inconvenience.

Wakey wakey Jehovah's Witnesses! Your real world is being exposed
by Half banana inthe posts here are flooding in on the subject of the watchtowers toleration of sexual abuse being publicised in the world media.
sure they print and say its wrong like everyone else does but what their policies show above all is the lack of genuine, humane care and considerate welfare for its members.
there must be so many voiceless jw victims and perhaps now they can speak out..

How strange that God's organisation needs tob eg for money
by Half banana ini would say that if god or jehovah or any other named or nameless god needs money then he/she/it is not much of a god.
as a poor jw pioneer i scraped by as a way of life serving a god i could not know, see or sense in any way but i swallowed the biblical dogma and recalled that the birds of the air neither toiled nor sowed but were provided for.. so for goodness sake...why is the jw org so concerned with keeping, promoting or downright snatching as much money as they can from the sheep?.
is it a sign that jehovah has disinherited them?

Jehovah's Witnesses in deep denial
by Half banana inthere can be no more profound form of ignorance than one which prohibits knowledge.
the watchtower organisation is one of the last remaining dinosaurs to do this.
instead of considering the biological and ecological complexity of life it gazes into its own oily navel and says with open-mouthed disneyfied wonderment, how marvellous nature is, how sacred jehovah is, how wonderful the governing body are!.

back then i had little tangible hope of seeing the downfall of the org.
i now see evidence of big cracks forming in their hermetic carapace..

The perpetual End of the World
by Half banana inone thing common to human culture is a belief that god will punish a dissolute world.
the earliest reference i have encountered is from a cuneiform tablet 4800 years old:.
an assyrian clay tablet dating to approximately 2800 bc was unearthed bearing the words "our earth is degenerate in these latter days.

Why God is an untenable concept
by Half banana inaround three thousand two hundred years ago a tiny tribe of desert pastoralists were called israelites for the first time.
by assuming this name it acknowledged, as was the custom, the name of a god el..
el was a chief sort of god and he had a fabled number of seventy sons including yahweh.

Dream agenda
by Half banana inwe have probably all made comparisons of the theocracies of islam and jehovahs witnesses.
they both have a dream agenda; the former has an islamic world caliphate and jws the earthly paradise.
the distinction between the two is that paradise for jws is an idea which permanently remains in the future and moves forward like the proverbial donkeys dangling carrot does, being attached to the animal, which is a most apt metaphor for the way the jw org functions.

Invitation to be a director
by Half banana inif you had been invited to become one of seven directors of a religious corporation which has a mainly tax exempt annual income of one billion dollars; how would your sense of responsibility to uphold the tradition of office (and therefore your own privileges) affect your moral judgement?.
for example would you let the corporation fail financially for the sake of pursuing a decision on what you understand to be gods will?.
