#100 Women
by Lost in the fog inin the uk the bbc has been celebrating the role of women who have made a difference to the world.
they have focused on 100 women in particular who have taken a lead in various professional jobs.
isn't it sad that we'll never see a jehovah’s witness woman appearing on such a list because of the misogynistic attitude within their organisation.

I can remember when the paperback version of the young people ask book was released and the chapter on pornography had a picture of youths looking at their mobile phones.
One of our elders was amazed saying "I didn't know you could view pornography via a mobile phone."
We were not sure if it was a revelation to him because he'd never done it this way before or what.

When I used to present public talks the biggest problem I had was trying to get my head around the sometimes incomprehensible lines of reasoning to try and tie the scripture verse to the application. I think that was when I began to wake up.

I remember an elder who used to quip that you could prepare one talk and change the title to whatever you were asked to present. His reasoning was the outlines all began with how dire the world was, the kingdom was the only hope, so pray, come to meetings, and go out on the work. End to applause by audience who'll have forgotten most of it by the time the Watchtower study ended anyway.

I think the opening question is disgusting. Mentally ill people are more likely to be the victims of crime than the perpetrators of it.
So called normal people carry out atrocities on a daily basis. They plan terrorist acts and plant bombs. They rob banks and murder people.
It's easy to say a person who guns down multiple victims must be a schizophrenic or a person with psychological issues because that's how TV programmes have presented them for years (criminal minds etc) but the facts present a much different story.

The paranormal.
by Lost in the fog ini know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.
but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.
if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?
