Which is worse: thinking or raping children?
by Mr Ben inwhich is worse: thinking for yourself or raping children?
most sane people in the world, whether religious or not would clearly say the latter was the worse, and worse by as large a margin as could be conceived.
unless, that is, you are a jehovah's witness.. in jehovah land, thinking anything contrary to the organisation is the worst of crimes.

Marry Christmas Jan-evolution goes down in flames
by clash_city_rockers indarwin on trial is the title of a book on evolution that has ruffled the feathers of the secular scientific community.
though a christian, author philip johnson critiques evolutionary theory from a secular standpoint as he examines the philosophical games many scientists play to protect their evolutionary ideology.
johnson, a law professor at the university of california at berkeley, attacks head-on the often-heard statement that evolution is both a fact and a theory, an evolutionary dogma that has been a major source of confusion for a long time.

How to help an active jw to go out??
by Nicolas inone of my sister who is a jw is still trying to keep contact with us and she's is supposed to shun us.
the problem is that i don't know if i want to see her again, we have almost nothing in common and i see her just once a year but she continue to send us letters at every months and she always told us that she love us.
i would like to do something to make her realize that the wbts doesn't have the truth but i know that she will consider me as an apostate if i say something bad about the jw.. black holes are where god divided by zero.

Monotheism and the worst intolerance.
by Mr Ben ini know that evil things have been by polytheists as well as monotheists.
but i was watching a program about the ancient egyptians a couple of months ago i think it was on channel 4. anyway it showed how incredibly advanced the old egyptians really were, performing engineering feats that we still cannot reproduce today without our technology.
their society was a polytheistic one and everyone got on reasonably well, until a particular pharaoh came along who was egypts first monotheist.

why the creator book is flawed.
by sleepy ini thought i would show an excerpt from a letter i have compossed in reply to a friend.. this all goes back to about six months ago when he asked me what i thought about the creator book.. i told him i thought it was "junk".. bad move.. anyway he told several people i was being critical of the society and wrote me a long letter which i never replied to.. i recently thought my lack of a reply may indicate to him that he had proved me wrong so i have decided to write back.. please let me know if you think what i have written is reasonable.. dear ******,.
i am writing in response to your letter of 19 april 2001.. i know it is a long time in coming but i had not intended to write back after our discussion of the matter, but i have lately felt that in not replying it leaves several points unanswered.. i what you to understand why i raised the points i did and wanted you to consider carefully the evidence.. i hope you appreciate my frankness in writing this letter as i am honestly concerned about various issues and their effect on our lives.
it would be too cumbersome to discuss all points raised in your letter so i am hoping only a few will be sufficient to show when i am coming from.. my purpose is not to weaken anyone's faith but to examine carefully some important issues.. if i am wrong i will stand corrected if the relevant information is provided.. one of the main issues raised was over my attitude toward a number of the societies publications mainly the creator book .. so i will mostly deal with why i felt the way i did.. as you know i have read quite a number of books on scientific subjects many dealing with the issue of evolution , some i have read several times.. therefore i am aware of some of the complexities of the issues involved and what is believed by many scientists and researchers.. one of the problems that many scientists have with creationists and other similar beliefs is that they often employ pseudoscience in their publications.. what is pseudoscience?

It takes a real Witness to bitch slap AlanF....
by SixofNine in...into submission.. here's one now, posting in the psuedoscience forum on wol:.
i thought i would post a review of a certain book i know of called "solving the mystery of the biblical flood" which is just now available from some of the on line book sellers.
it is basically a geology book that proves the earth has had a recent earth wide flood as described in the bible.

The WT fake chimp (for those who missed it)
by Mr Ben inafter a discussion in the live chatroom i realised some did not know of the watchtowers fake chimp.
i first saw it as a link on janhs old site, but i can no longer find the url for the original, which i believe was from the norwegian agnostic society, or something like that.
the next time a dub calls on you ask them why they are forced to believe that chimpanzees do not have canine teeth.
