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.

23,000 cases of child abuse
by tootired2care inthe letter from the hacking group anonymous asserts that there is a list of some 23,000 who are associated with jehovah's witnesses, that have been accused of abusing children.
several threads on this board also seem to say the number is in that vicinity too.
i searched around a bit but didn't really find how that number was derived.. does anyone have any insight or references to how this number 23,000 was arrived at?

The End of False Religion Is Near! HAHAHA
by tootired2care inmemories!
i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..
i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.

What do atheists and agnostics typically do for their funeral services?
by tootired2care inin contemplating my current beliefs in life right now, it occured to me that my views as an agnostic would probably make for a strange funeral service if my friends and family were to have one.
strange in that most funeral services always have some mention of god, and some religious context with afterlife explanations.
has anyone ever been to a non-religious funeral service for someone who was atheist or agnostic and what was it like?

3.5 years vs. a lifetime of going door to door.
by tootired2care indid it bug you as a witness that jesus only had to go from door to door for 3.5 years, and he was done; while he demanded that you do it for your whole life without preparing for the morrow?
i just remember a few years back reflecting on the daunting prospect of doing it my whole life if the end didn't come - "sooner rather than later".
what are your thoughts?.

A NEO-Nazi democratic politician turned killer
by tootired2care ini thought this was sort of interesting, given how the dems always accuse the right of having all the extremist wackos; to further their crusade to take guns away from the citizens.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2138639/horror-arizona-neo-nazi-sheriff-candidate-guns-toddler-adults-suicidal-body-armour-clad-killing-spree.html.
in january of 2012, he even announced his candidacy to run as a democratic candidate for pinal county sheriff.

Are exJW's not entitled to quote or interpret scriptures in minds of Christians that were never JW's?
by tootired2care inthis is one that i've been struggling with since i started hanging out here.
when you get on a thread and quote a scripture with a comment to make a point, the believers who have never been jw's often knee jerk reaction jump all over it, and in essensce say that you cannot understand the passage because you are not a believer like them.. it's as if they are saying what is written and what you have learned about certain passages are automatically wrong just because you were taught from a jw perspective, or that you lack basic reading comprehension.
i agree many of the jw teachings are off, but i can certainly respect more of their interpretations of scriptures than i can of other christian denominations.
