I don't know either, but I have some friends and family members that are JW and it seems they don't believe in many things, i.e. anniversaries outside of marriage. No birthdays, Christmas and apparently they are against war according to my friend (didn't research that). It was funny because they wouldn't celebrate birthdays or Christmas but would "randomly" get gifts around their birthdays.
Erm, this might be wrong, but I think the JW take the Book of John rather literally. That is, they think that the number of souls who will be saved on judgement day will be 144,000. Belonging to virgin men. Who are predetermined in their destiny to be saved. They won't get it wrong. Because they are such morally pure guys.
So it's always puzzled me why they are such a proselytising bunch.

It's multi-level marketing for Jesus.
That's... interesting.
I normally don't try to judge religions beyond the way they personally affect my life. I don't believe in God, but I respect their ability to do so. So, as long as they aren't actively making my life worse, I try to ignore things.
But... c'mon. That's just stupid.

No, he has a willingness to reject his viewpoints when they become embarrassing to him, and immediately embrace the next radical ideology he wanders across. These are very different things.
What can I say? Uncertainty scares me. Radical ideologies are nice because they make everything so clear.

This is the first time I've ever rated you up. Don't spend it all in one place.

The only time things are absolute is when they are absolutely wrong.
Just as Planned.

Well, neither of us are nihilists or neo darwinists, so that's something.
