About my Coming Out...
by braincleaned insince my coming out publicly, i have received a lot of kind words.. i wanted to thank all of you from the depth of my heart.. .
on the other hand, i need to make two things clear:.
i'm often encouraged to use my position to create cartoons or stories for nickelodeon, etc.... i do not have that kind of fire-power.

Applaud the Blessings?
by braincleaned ini found it interesting that the 2012 service year report showed a global increase of 1.90% while the global demography is growing 1.14% a year.. not something to get too snotty about, in my opinion.. if the jw are blessed with that level of growth, what can be said about the mormon's 2.31% growth the same year?.
or the islam annual growth rate of about 6.40% a year(according to the u.n.)?.
who is god blessing here again?.

Needed reminder...
by braincleaned inif there was any proof that "new light" is a cop-out for being sinfully wrong, i wanted to recall this amazing thread by jimmypage, with evidence of deciet and dishonesty from the borg.
it is disgusting.. .

Food for thought
by braincleaned inwhy is it said that we "inherited" sin?
we all know the old 'dented cake mold' illustration... but it doesn't follow logic.. .
it was obviously not obligatory that we "inherited" sin.

My thoughts on Belief.
by braincleaned init would be a grave mistake to imagine we can change the convictions of anyone even thru the most persuasive arguments we can muster.
fact is, we are wired to deal with our cognitive dissonance by catering to it thru confirmation bias.. anything that contradicts our cherished beliefs will be rationalized against, or simply categorized as untrue.
if any logical fallacy is detected on either side it will be used as if a bad argument is automatically proof of a false one (which is a fallacy in itself, amusingly called the "fallacy fallacy").. either way, nobody has changed cherished beliefs on a presumingly lost argument.. but all the rhetoric is not fruitless.
