The article states: 'One person said the naked woman is going to "offend someone."' ...ONE person said it's going to offend someone. Not himself, but someone - somewhere is going to be offended.
I can't even imagine anyone being so hard-up that that a 1'' picture of a statue gets them sexually excited. 'If you think that's hot...wait till you see the statue of liberty...she's a minx, but she's such a tease!'
my mother lives a plane trip away from me, so does not get to spend very much time with zac.
however, she is in sydney for 3 weeks and has been babysitting.
i knew that she would be talking about jehovah, but was very annoyed yesterday when zac said my mother was speaking all day about jehovah, such as how he made the stars.. in the past, i was not overly concerned if zac learnt about jehovah's witnesses, as i thought it would help with critical thinking skills to understand different points of view.
I dont have any kids but definitely plan on it some day, and when that day comes I will not leave them alone with any of my relatives unless in the most dire of emergencies and I'd make damn sure they already know (no second chances or warnings) that if they talk to them about ANYTHING having to do with their backwards-ass belief system, that will be that and theyll never see them again. Pretty much exactly what Number 6 said; kudos Craig!
love these stats from jwfacts /jehovah's witnesess.
"this is one of the most telling graphs, showing that the number of people leaving has tripled from the rate in the early 1990's.
for the 10 years from 1986 to 1995 the rate was an average of 12%; for the 10 years from 1996 to 2005 it had risen to 41%.".
That makes me feel good....like the end is comming or something. Oh hey...I finally get it.
how to good-bye depression: if you constrict anus 100 times everyday.
malarkey?
or effective way?.
Bahahahaha! Good work, rebel8, good work. :P
blondie's comments on the wt this last sunday brought this to my attention.
the b0rg brags that 20,000 get dunked each month.
compare that to the following numbers from this site: http://www.wholesomewords.org/missions/greatc.html#birdatrate.
Yeah, I figured the ONLY way WT would give those numbers out to the public was if the convert rate was over 50% (more than the born ins) and that will never happen.

Is there any way to find out the percent of baptised that are born-ins? That would be the real test considering for the most part they dont actually have a choice in the matter...just going through the motions so their families wont disown them.

bro.
I can't believe 'believers' still try posting their crap here...it would take a VERY special person to read all the FACTS refuting the WTBS b.s. here then read a post like the OPs and think 'My god they're right! I was almost fooled by these apostates! Darn you Satan you almost had me there...'

Thanks Blondie for the well-written and informative post, I'm new round these parts so I dont know if this is a semi-regular thing but I'd love to read more WT articles debunked...I haven't picked up a WT or Awake since I was basically physically forced to (probably around age 15 or so, Im 28 now), but i remember pointing out the hypocrisies to myself in my head (out load would just be asking for more abuse), but of course I didnt care enough actually do any research on any of it...that would mean 'sacrificing' more of my time to the b.s. But now as a University student I really appreciate the research you put into it and the obvious hypocrisies it reveals.
And as for what Zid said earlier about the negative-positive speach thing, I almost forgot about that little 'trick'. I've alwasy been good at English and grammar studies and whatnot, and I have always absolutely HATED when anyone uses the word 'not' when presenting a question, rhetorical or otherwise. "Did jesus not tell us blablabla" ....well if he did NOT tell us that then why are we saying he did...and if he he DID tell us that, then NO he did not NOT tell that thing he just told us. I remember vividly on more then one occasion my father asking me "Did I not tell you ___" and of course he did tell me ___ so the only truthful answer I could give was 'No, you didn't NOT tell me ____' this was well before I knew what sarcasm was and I was just trying my hardest NOT to lie, but, you guessed it....'that's a paddlin'.
hello all, i've just discovered this site and i cant begin to describe how happy i am to have come across it.
i stumbled across this site purely by accident...seriously i was looking at arkham city walkthoughs and a few jumps later i end up here.
i though it was a legit society page at first and thought 'what the hell, this will be good for a laugh', but after reading a few posts well...i couldnt stop reading.
Oh, and how can I go back and edit posts? It pisses me off to no end seeing spelling and gramatic errors in my own writing.
(obviously in my last post I meant to say "a well behaved young man in the truth could -never- act in such a way")

Wow it's been less than 12 hours since I posted and I have over a dozen responses already, thank you all for the warm welcome and for making me feel right at home.
@Chariklo: lol! SO CLOSE!!! You're first in my book bro. Also looking back yeah, that's obviously a sign of sexual abuse in children...I'd wished I'd known back then so I could tell someone, but by that point I'd already learned that my parents would completely ignore any issues I'd have with people in the cong and that most likely they'd flat out call me a liar and think that a "well-behaved" young man of the truth could ever do such a thing...and a nother abuse victim remains ignored.
@thecrushed: I know how rare it is for someone to not only realize the real truth about'the truth' let alone be able to get out with no regrets as young as I did, which is why I consider myself lucky (and literally the only way I think of myself as being lucky through being raised the way i was) And I love the SW references! I've always loved the SW movies and since SW:TOR came out I've been getting into the history and mythos more and more, reading the novels... SW actually helped me realize the hypocrisy of the cult pretty early on...I loved anything fasntasy based (LOTR, Forgotten Realms novels, D&D) which of course was seen as satanic, but a lot of 'brothers' I knew also loved SW, so when I asked why they were allowed to watch and enjoy SW while Jedi used 'supernatural' powers when they use the force, they tried to rationalize that it would be the equivalent of using 'God's holy spirit' LOL yeah right, they wished!!!! Further hypocrasy was revealed when I tried to compare to 'magic' in some fantasy as being explained EXACTLY how the force is explained in SW (A force of life that connects us all and flows through every living thing that only a few special one could learn how to manipulate) I probably got a decent beating for that one, but the end relization was the force was acceptable because it isnt referred to as 'magic' while anything that was reffered to as 'magic' was unavoidably undoubtably EVIL SATANIC MACHINATIONS CREATED TO STUMBLE THE FAITHFUL blablabla.
@Open mind: BGB is just a silly acronym i made for gaming back in the day and just kind of stuck, and has taken off to be a representation of myself more then any words originally used to make it. As far as anyone here is concerned theBGB stands for: Jordan (my name).
Pleased to meat you all.
