WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
The Atheist Experience is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

I’m going to have to cover this on my channel. For the record, Jerusalem objectively did not fall in 607. It was 587, 20 years later. We can prove that with impeccable records from Babylonians. That throws off the date.

Well actually a nail went through her head....
Having been raised as a JW, I am VERY familiar with this foundational doctrine. It is central to their entire belief system. Their predictions are based on the date 607 BCE, when they say that the city of Jerusalem was sacked by the Babylonians. Using the book of Daniel, they then calculate that 2520 years from that date is when Christ will return, throw Satan out of heaven, and unleash the beginning of the end. According to their chronology, that happened in 1914. To validate this calculation, they point to the outbreak of World War I as "proof." They love to say how "unexpected" and "suddenly" that war broke out, totally ignoring the geopolitical events that led up to it. UNFORTUNATELY for them, they got the date wrong. Babylon conquered Jerusalem, not in 607 BCE, but 20 years later in 587 BCE. That would put their calculated date at 1934, when absolutely nothing remarkable happened. That religion, like all religions, is a load of crap. Its followers are not encouraged to think critically. I'm so glad I got out when I did.

Speaking as a former witness who actually did my research and woke up, it's embarrassing to me to listen to this "sister" stumble over her own words trying to promote her faith, regurgitating watchtower doctrine (poorly) knowing she probably thinks she defended her faith and did a good job of witnessing to the masses. She probably even counted her time doing so...! You can't be a watchtower apologist when you don't know your religions own history and can't even get your facts straight. You need to know the watchtowers understanding of the prophecy she was trying to quote inside and out. She had at best a basic understanding of it shouting out 1914, 607bce and revelation. She just sounded deluded and brainwashed. If I was still a JW I'd have thought she just gave a bad witness and probably deterred more people then converted in this clip. And this is the sad thing about your average witness. They knock on your door armed with a few basic truths that the general public don't know from the bible and begin to think of themselves as bible scholars until they come up against people like this who actually know their stuff. Embarrassing smh.

Correct me if I am wrong please but a search of "ptolemy's Canon of kings" shows that there are some possible inaccuracies with the dating. This "canon of kings" method of dating is widely accepted as the backbone of our secular way of dating. In short the bible takes into account minor kings that reigned for a short period while the "canon" with holds them. This can cause a slight inaccuracy in dating.
She is a perfect example of religion. Logic: "Why are we mutilating children?" Religion: "Yeah, we shouldn't be doing that. But, we should when it comes to religion." Logic: "What about religions that aren't based on a bible?" Religion: "Well, those ones aren't true because Satan, basically." Logic: "Do you actually give a shit whether or not what you believe is true or will you just go with whatever you feel?" Religion: Ahh, You have to go with what you feel in your heart, I think."

Former JW here, born in, devout and active--until by 36, it nearly killed me in every way--severely depressed, anxiety-ridden and suicidal. It has taken me over a decade, but I am out, free, awake and healing from the PTSD I was left with from being raised in a Doomsday Cult. I would have died for my beliefs--scary, but true--and that is the very real danger of fundamentalist religion. Everything is better now that I am out of religion, and have left the belief in the Bible and its god--any god. And by the way, yes the founder of the JWs said the world was ending in 1914. P.S. Not even sure she really is a JW, as they never use the expression "you will feel the spirit."

this .... this is, by far one of the best calls I've heard in TAE, It really made me laugh
*Don Baker's laugh is contagious.* Thank you, Mr. Baker and Mr. Dillahunty for your work and fun. *I think she was pulling your guys' legs.*
This video was a real laugh. Thank you to that silly woman who called in. You were hilarious.
If she hadn't said that she was JW I'd have said that she stopped taking her medications early.

@Mr Shigura Sadly too many religious people do not take their meds because of their religion. It's sad how religious people see it as something negative that secular countries recognise mental disabilities that need to be medicated more often than religious countries, and therefore use more medication.

I used to be one of Jehovah's witnesses and it kills me that I ever sounded so profoundly ignorant and that my critical thinking skills were so lacking. I probably would have sounded similar to this woman when I was 18. I'm 24 now and have been out for a while but goodness.. I must have sounded like a moron.

@selia namikova You are incorrect. I have had several friends die due to refusing blood transfusions. My wife was nearly one of them ( Yeah I used to be one ) Your comment about doctors is also wrong. Yes there are several ways beside blood to increase the volume of "blood" in the body but that is not the whole story. Don't make statements that are absolute as they cause harm to your argument.

@selia namikova yes thats because people who need blood transfusions often have severe illnesses. So yes some of them are going to die. That is not because of the blood tranfusion, its because they were seriously ill in the first place. Stop your dangerous LIES about modern medicine. You are whats wrong with the world and you should be utterly ashamed of yourself. SHAME!!!! ON!!!!! YOU!!!!!
I was in a Witness Hall for a wedding, and it was horrifying. That's it.
My sis is a jw. I have been to the kingdom hall several times, until the group told my sis not to bring me back. Then they told her I was "LOST- as a blind sheep in a desert blizzard". She shunned me, kept her children away from me...for years. Now, she cheats her church to be around me. She still is jw, & she loves me on purpose. How's that for "LOST?"
Don’s sarcasm is the best! 😂😂
Ouch!! Raised as a JW i fully understand here arguments and the lack of capability to see the jw doctrine in perspective. Controling as the watchtower organisation(not religion) is, they are NOT ALOWED to research warned that apostates like me give them fals information that could cause doubts.
"I have the Proof!........" / How Many Times have We Heard That? and Yet there is NEVER any Proof!

Eventually it all gets a bit tiring!
Wow I love these clips! 😂

Mankind includes ALL of US -- from the first human pair, unto the last man, and for those who pass the faith test, into the afterlife. We are ONE creation -- potentially, everlasting. And WE (you too) have been tasked with the progressive perfection of Mankind -- God's composite of unique individuals with ascension promise -- even if it takes us all 6,494 years remaining in Abraham's 10,000 year Covenant (after Moses renegotiated face to face and some years are not counted). hint: Abraham was an El-ite. He traced his ancestry back to Seth, Adam and Eve's son, who first taught men about god, EL. By faith, you are an El-ite, too. 1

The part that baffles me about people that get into Scientology.... why would you join a "religion" that was revealed to a dude that is famous for writing more fictional books than anyone else - and most of those books were horrible sci-fi. I mean, I like some Sci-Fi authors.... but I wouldn't join a church they started. May the force be with you.
