Meet a friend of mine: G.K.Chesterton
by Terry ini love the mind of g.k.chesterton!.
he has a wonderful way of looking at things and then getting you to see them by saying something simple.. chesterton was a very creative man who was able to take on every subject with wit and turn things inside out.. as wiki describes him:.
he wrote on philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism, public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography, christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction.. .

A Point About Witnesses That Needs Repeating
by metatron inonce upon a time, many years ago, bethel - and the factory in particular - was a nasty, sweatshop hellhole.
they could hardly keep up with all the young guys leaving.
bad attitudes were everywhere.. in response, most guys complained, blew off steam, drank beer and chased hot sisters.

I am currently reading " The GOD delusion" by Richard Dawkins and would appreciate comments from those who have read it,pro &con.
by smiddy ini`m only halfway through chapter 4 and enjoying what i have read so far .so why am i asking for peoples comments now ?
the reason i have is this : i wish i had done something like this when i first was approached by the witnesses ,i beleive i would have been more informed to make some enlightened decisisions that would eventually shape my future .. whereas not doing so i spent the next 33 years a slave of the watchtower , and not just me but my wife and children , not that i`m suggesting i would be a slave of richard dawkins , but i can weigh up the pros and cons as i progress through his book ,then hopefully i can draw the right conclusions , if their are any.. smiddy.

An atheists grieve
by Borges ini'm reading here almost every day (kind of adicted i think).
but due to the fact, that my english isn't very good, i abstain from commenting most of the time.. nevertheless i'd like to share some thoughts with you.. .
when i learned the tatt over a year ago i quickly became an atheist.

Sparlock is Sator
by Borges inin the german edition of the new dvd sparlock is called sator.
i'm sorry about this, because sparlock sounds much better and meanwhile it is a powerfull meme (and i was thinking about antending one of the dc here with a sparlock-shirt).
you see the typical german lack of imagination.

Questions about disfellowshipping and 'non-sanctioned' shunning
by Steve_C inbasically, i have a couple of questions about the current rules regarding disfellowshipping and shunning.
by current i mean since 1999.. sorry, but i have to put a bit of my history to clarify my situation.. i was a born-in who was baptized in 1983. got married to a sister in 1984. then the kids came.
by the mid-1990s my wife and i had become increasingly irregular, so that by 1999 we were both inactive and only went to the memorial and conventions.. in 1999 i committed adultery, confessed to the elders, and had a judicial committee.

October 15, 2012 Watchtower now on jw.org
by sd-7 inlooks like it's fun.
there's a cool story in there about how a ministerial servant got deleted for playing violent video games, and then wrote to the branch office about it and told people in his congregation.
classy, guys, really classy.
