  Euphemism

  Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! I'm using up one of my precious two daily topics to post this, so you'd darn well better read it!

  I am hereby proposing a moratorium on all mentions of the flip-flopping on Sodom and Gomorrah. Most Witnesses did not and do not give a damn whether the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah will be resurrected. I know that when I was a loyal dub, I certainly didn't; and I was by far more interested in doctrine than your average JW.

  If we can't come up with examples of Watchtower flip-flopping on issues more important than the resurrection of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, we all ought to have our apostate licenses revoked.

  All in favor, say aye!

  (All not in favor, keep your traps shut. )

  As always Blondie, you're quick to bring important WTS info to the fore.

  Thanks again!

  Most of the Society info on Sodom and Gom put them in the same boat as ones who perish at Armageddon which includes many relatives usually, so if they don't care about the past what about the future.

  But you are correct no one really gives a rats ass about flip flops unless your at the beach and the sand is hot or something affects you personally. Like blood or transplants maybe even how disfellowshipped are treated.

  I've been exposing changes to family and elders for months and its like they have ear plugs.....I am stuck as to what will help...sorry

  Shotgun, sometimes people can't see the forest for the trees. More pointedly, they aren't ready mentally to accept it. My experience is that people don't believe it until they personally experience it or hear it (sometimes many times). Everyone here was a true believer for some time (some less than others). But then something happened that made them take a good look. It's not the same for every person. Mnimus has a thread asking people what it was that made them take a second look. I'm amazed at how many different things influenced people to leave the WTS.

  How many people admitted the emperor had no clothes?

  Man that Blondie.......Quickest Gun on the Board. Must have a Six Gun CD/DVD Shooter !

  Actually I found the flip flops on Sodam and Gomorrah that JC MacHisslop posted a while back interesting and actually quite funny, and I would be embareassed if I worked in the WTBTS Writing Department.

  But in the interest of Board harmony and peace I will " bend over backwards" to keep you happy.

  waiting

  Another flip-flop

  Oral sex

  Mid 70's January........it was a sin.

  Mid 70's December.....it was a personal decision.

  Wives of Unbelievers & Christmas Celebrations

  Do nothing! Prove your cleanliness from paganism to Jehovah.

  Last year........keep your husband contented. Jehovah knows your heart.

  MUST Scream before/while being raped:

  yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no.......ONLY applies to women btw. Men were never under this WT Law. Only women had to PROVE their innocence before Jehovah and Angels.
