Freedom from religion foundation - I'm joining!
by tootired2care inafter leaving jw's i have come to really despise religion, and how it manipulates and controls people.
what really irks me is when people try to inject their religious ideals into public policy in this day and age.. modern examples of where the mixing of religion and politics is bad for people is; countries like iran, where you get stoned for apostacy against muhammad, or countries like england where they are allowing people to get sharia law going.
we also have christians trying to get their ideals back into governments and schools like prayers at schools right here in the u.s.. imho such things are unnacceptable for public policy in this age of scientific understanding.

Recovery - Why so much intellectual dishonesty?
by tootired2care inrecovery likes to point out little nit-picky technical with the jwfacts.com website.
recovery to me is aptly described in jesus illustration as the one who strains the gnat but gulps the camel.. why can't he acknowledge any of the responses and evidence presented to his questions in the threads that he's created?
furthermore why doesn't recovery use the same critical standard on the organization that has claimed to be selected by christ and is spirit directed?

High gas prices / Extremist Muslim regimes / China playing everyone for fools?
by tootired2care inthis is probably a dull topic for some, but i did some research out of my own curiosity, and just wanted to put it here for my own future reference, but i'm also curious to hear your thoughts on this as well.. -----------------------------.
muslim extremism is still a big problem, and a major threat to world energy markets.
examples iran, muslim brotherhood in charge of egypt etc.

Congregation By Laws?
by tootired2care inperhaps this was already discussed in another thread, if so i apologize in advance; but i was visiting some family several months back and we get into a conversation about their local congregation.
one of my family members helps with some of the book keeping in that congregation.
after a while he started talking about how the elders received some wierd letter from the society stating something to the effect that the congregation must put together or enforcing something for "corporate by laws" or "congregation by laws" - i'm not sure which.

New type of spider discovered is believed to be one of the most 'evolutionary unique' on the planet
by tootired2care inapparently they have just discovered a completely new type of spider in a cave in southern oregon, very different from other spiders.
i thought this was a very interesting find.. "the 'cave robber', a newly discovered spider believed to be one of the most 'evolutionary unique' on the planet.".

He will not hand him a serpent, will he?
by tootired2care inone of the things jesus related on his famous sermon on the mount, is that if a son asks his father for bread he would not be given a serpent.. .
.keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you.
8 for everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking it will be opened.

Inconsistency: Tower of Babel vs. space program
by tootired2care inseveral years back i remember listening to a public talk.
the title of the talk escapes me; but one of the points (albeit wierd) that was brought out, is that the part of the mytholgy behind the symbol of apollo was defiance of god.
he made this jump by linking apollo with ishtar (nimrods wife) wife somehow...he used this point in connection with the nasa space program to make the point, that the space exploration was a defiant action against god, as a modern day like nimrod account.

Best news in a long time - manned mission to Mars planned
by tootired2care ini was reading this news article and it brings out that nasa is planning a manned mission to mars.
nasa plans to work with other countries on this mission, and not just go it alone.
it turns out that the obama administration has set a goal for nasa to have this done by the 2030s.
