Logic for a bad illustration
by braincleaned inas most of us have heard jehovah is compared to a parent that lets his children go thru a painful surgery to save their lives.
this illustration is often used to explain why the mayhem and pain we suffer today.. .
i respond with a bit of basic logic and ask the one using this lame illustration if he or she would still opt for the painful surgery if he or she could miraculously save their child's life if they had ther power to do so?.

Do you Trust the writings of 2,000 years ago?
by braincleaned indo you trust the bible, and it's scientific accuracy on creation for example.. do you believe it still holds moral values, expressed in the perfect example of it's god?.
do you believe in it's prophesies?.
then let me invite you to doctor holymann's hospital.. you can trust him with your child's or your own surgery and medicine.. he has ignored all the nonsense of modern medical science, and still operates on the knowledge he has from 2,000 years ago.. .

Food For Logical Thought...
by braincleaned insometimes we waste hours and hours debating a subject like the flood, and the impossible scientific and evolutionary consequences that it entails.
we go into great debates about how all of is is possible, what a "kind" means (species, obviously not)... etc.... but believers will not stop believing... so here is something even a child would think of more logically:if god is all powerful and love why would he have not just made the wicked drop dead, painlessly?
simply, humanly.

Deuteronomy 18: 20-22 and the FDS's failed prophesies.
by braincleaned inwhen jw's come to my door, i don't tell them i am an ex, just because they will move on and you will not have helped them see the obvious.. so i show them this scripture, and the new wt of july 2013 makes it even easier to confirm that new light is just moving the goalposts.. if jehovah really exists, they are in for some heavy crapstorm from him!.
deuteronomy 18: 20-22:.
20however, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that i have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.. 21and in case you should say in your heart: how shall we know the word that jehovah has not spoken?.

The Nerve of Denial
by braincleaned ini thought the page on the official jw site "are you an american sect?
" is quite disturbing.
the borg really has no problem lying thru their teeth!".

Antisocial behavior encouraged
by braincleaned in"our choice of associates.of course, some contact with unbelieverssuch as at school, at work, and when sharing in the ministryis unavoidable.
it is quite another matter, though, to socialize with them, even cultivating close friendships with them.
do we justify such association by saying that they have many good qualities?

There is something that has always bothered me...
by braincleaned init always bothers me that the society boasts unity, as jehovah's witnesses don't have other branches and groups stemming from them, like the amish for example.
the wts is justified to brag unity of belief; to the point where the same program is taught in the whole world.. i blame those who leave and yet continue to believe in jehovah and jesus (i'm an atheist).
it seems a schism is above those who dissent from the org.
