You speak of climate change. I really don't recall any JW discussion about climate change in the 35 years of meetings I attended. Perhaps towards the end, but that was long after science identified this as a problem. So, again, what are the core teachings you speak of?

Can you remind me, what are the core teachings that have proven to be correct? For some reason none come to mind.

They are using various means of keeping numbers up. For example, when you see a new peak in pioneers keep in mind that you can pioneer with 15 minutes of field service as compared to the 90 hours just a few years ago.

Are you an "out of the closet" atheist?
by rebel8 ini'm atheist and not ashamed of it.
however, it is so politically incorrect, especially where i live.
i have a legitimate concern that being out of the closet too much will hurt my career or neighborly relations--i know for a fact it probably would.. i'm really cautious about who i tell.. how about you?

I never considered myself to be cool enough to call myself an atheist. I have met more than a few atheists that are so absolutely certain about their position that I get very offended; Not because I believe in god but because I get intimidated by my inability to recite facts and figures in such absolute terms. No one should be that angry about their beliefs. I just want to say – chill out man!
I would love to believe in god - but I don’t. That being said, I choose to spend my remaining years on things other than debating the origins of life.

I always wonders, and now I know. Thank you Pope Francis.
Does this include the dogs that end up on the dinner table in some cultures? Or, only those pets who become part of a family?
Sorry to be offensive - I am not a pet person.

The sad fact is that everyone dies - no matter how strong their convictions.

Be honest post do all posters on this site believe the bible is 100% or has flaws?
by booker-t inwe in the psychology/sociology field have a saying "when people protest too loud usually they are overcompensating".
i did not understand that when i first started studying psychology but now i understand it completely and it is so true.
when i hear someone constantly bashing something or someone such as gay bashing or ethnic bashing or religion bashing sometimes i wonder what are they hiding.

Funeral for an atheist
by Stealth in99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.
the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.
if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

I plan on living long enough so that my organs have no use for anyone else. In regards to a funeral, I envision a celebration of life.
I have read about atheist funerals and I get a sense that many are a positive experience. That is what I want, although expect to outliving all my friends and enemies so I am not sure who will remember me when the great day arrives.

Why would you want to do that. Life is too short to was your time playing games with a cult.
