What piece of evidence has contributed most to your world view?
by snare&racket in.
for me it has to be radio-dating, the age of everything.
it contradicts so many belief systems and also gives the universe's chemistry set the means to do so many 'experiments' with varying results.. with so much time, so much is possible....

20 Questions
by Terry inlet's say there is a new law.. once each year the leader(s) of any religious group have to answer 20 questions in public on tv posed by their critics.. twenty questions are allowed for a one hour presentation.. of course, we would expect softball answers.
except for one thing: the questioner can press a "bullshit" button!.
that would mean the question is repeated and another answer was called for.

My first own thread on here. Woken up and still in :(
by Gefangene ini have been around in this forum a lot but haven't written much yet.. also i had a more or less rude awakening when i realized that the religion i grew up with, the religion i sacrificed a lot for and considered to be the 'truth' is nothing but mere bs.
it's quite a brick to digest.. my parents both are jws, elder and pioneer.
very good people but also very brainwashed.

Talked to an elder
by Nika Bee ini am at home now, my family knows that i am out and it's somewhat ok.. during the time i spent here, i had the interesting pleasure of talking to an elder who i've known since childhood.
just for the background, he always regretted not going to university and there where also issues with military service.
but this discussion was kind of, well, interesting.

Will they get rid of the FDS concept?
by Hermano inwhat do they need the fds concept for?
it's a weak idea, based on one scripture which is a rhetorical question.
they've already published several articles indicating that just because you are annointed doesn't mean you have any special insight, so they've already disconnected annointed from leadership.
