  Just been called for a JC next Saturday because of a few things i've said. Last nite 2 elders came over an try to "correct" me on the Naos Rev 7:15 thing. You should of heard the arguments they were giving.

  One elder gave me the "i'd rather be wrong and be in the org than right and alone" thing and one gave me the story (i'm currently working fulltime) about the brother who could of had a job or gone to the MS school (He went to the MS school) and if he took the job, he would of been dead cos it was in the World Trade Centre. Anyone heard that one?

  PS Anyone know an answer to refute the Isa 66:6 thing in the Aug 15 1980 Watchtower on the great crowd? (The great crowd booklet from commentary press doesn't mention that WT argument).

  Man, that shows how dumb some people are. I guess if their top guy told them to jump off a bridge, they would. Some times being wrong can cost a person their life. Let's take defusing a bomb for example:
  The green wire to defuse the bomb, and the red wire would cause the bomb to go off. A smart person would of course cut the green wire. But they would say I'd rather cut the red wire because that is what the top guy said to do. I don't think they would be listening to them then, would they?

  The truth can never be hurt by a lie,
  but a lie can be exposed by the truth.

  To me, it didn't have the ring of truth, though no doubt someone knows someone who goes to the same congregation as someone who knows someone who heard about that Smurf that... um, rather, the World Trade Center thing. Besides, Jesus did not promise his followers that they would be protected, even though so many religions that claim to follow him have so many stories like this, where by doing something quirky because of their beliefs, someone lives when they would have been dead. Or dies a martyr when they would have died anyway, a la Columbine.

  I once read a report from Bethel, probably forwarded from a family member, that spoke about an elder I've known for many years. He was a CO in a certain country, and the report indicated that he needed emergency coronary bypass surgery, and that although it was the first bloodless bypass in the country, he pulled through and recovered well.

  The facts, as my relative should have known better than I, were that this fellow was on EPO for months before the surgery to build up his red blood count, and that it took him months longer than usual to recover from the bypass surgery. The only miracle involved was that modern medicine managed to save his life with one hand tied behind its back by a ridiculous misinterpretation of a book of myths.
