:: JW religious lifestyle is based on massive self-deception along with a general disregard for facts of all kinds, I would say that my desire to be honest with myself and others is incompatible with it.

: Actually I don't have much of a problem with your comments here AF except that after many of your arguements people must leave feeling spiritually bankrupt, void of any hope, and that is not a good thing.

It may not be good from a certain point of view, but that's not my problem. It's like a 17th-century religious person complaining that Galileo's observation of the fact that the earth is not the center of the universe leaves him spiritually bankrupt and void of any hope, and damages his faith. If simple facts can so badly mess up a person's spirituality, then it seems obvious that it was worthless except perhaps as a spiritual pacifier.

: When will you start pointing to something worth chasing in this life?

When I find out I'll let people know. Until then I'll shut up.

: LA did you see my comments at "AF exposed" post.

I did, and I appreciate them, but I still don't know what to say.
