My New Religion (from the Onion)
by openminded inwell, it's been a long, hard road, but i'm finally almost finished with cosmysticism, the new religion i've been working on for the past year or so.
and i must say, i'm pretty proud of how it's turned out.
it's a delicate blend of love and wrath, mystery and science, history and fantasy.

Theocratic Terrorism
by openminded inif you think theocratic warfare is a conflict to terminology, the institute of american dialect has coined the term "theoterrorism.
" simply put, it is the killing of civilians for religious purposes.
another formidable reason why theocratic governments do not work.

Staying Awake Or Keeping In A Frenzy?
by AlanF inwe ex-jws know very well how much the watchtower society put us under pressure to believe that "armageddon is just around the corner".
they've been doing it in one form or another ever since charles taze russell began publishing his nonsense.
in 1877 he advocated that true christians should believe that christ would "take them home" in 1878. when that didn't happen he moved the event up to 1881. after that he focused on 1914.. the society is still doing pretty much the same thing, building up expectations and then revising them, decade after decade.

WTS and donations
by freedom96 inmany christian type religions, organized or not, believe in giving 10% like was done in the old days in the bible.
you even have the mormons, who must give 10%.. as money hungry as the wts is, why have they not gone for that as well?
they can always justify anything for any reason.

JW's Should Start Their Own Country!
by nonjwalltheway injehovas' witnesses are an interesting group.
they enjoy the freedoms and liberties that they receive by living in the united states, but at the same time they refuse to partake in voting, national celebrations and have basically created their own nation within a nation.
i find it hypocritical for them to act in this manner and believe that they should gather from around the world and all go and live together on some island.
