I recently sent my mom a copy of the 1932 Golden Age article which blabs on and on about how the theory of gravity is incorrect (read it here: http://quotes.watchtower.ca/gravitation_and_electric_energy.htm).
She left me a VoiceMail message and said that she and my father had read it over, thoroughly. She then said:
"Your father said, 'Well, it looks like a very unscientific person took it on himself to write a scientific article' (giggle)"
The way she said this, with sarcasm in her voice and a gigle at the end, indicates to me that she thought my dad's response was pretty stupid.
Of course, I would like to ask my dad exactly how some individual can "take it upon themselves" to write an article in a WTS publication -- the excuse implies a community effort which does not exist. Also, this is in direct violation of the belief that everything published by WTS is approved by the Gov Body. Finally, it implies that this was a unique, fluke accident. Which gives me more motivation to work on the Golden Age sharing project (mentioned in another thread) to demonstrate that this lunacy was the rule, not the exception.

Your mom is making some serious progress with her bad attitude toward the organization. Be careful to not be upset if her conscience bothers her and she backs off a little before making any more progress (or is that anti-progress?).

TheListener, thanks for the kind words. I'll continue to take it easy with her. In this case, I've waiting for a couple of months for the opportunity to "share this article from the Watchtower Society" with her (does that sound like a door-to-door presentation?) :-)
I wonder what she will report my dad said when I have dozens of these "unscientific" articles to share? Maybe something like "It looks like *several* unscientific persons took it upon themselves to *repeatedly* write unscientific articles on many and various topics and cause them to be published every month for several years". Which of course is probably pretty close to the truth! That describes WTS pretty well, I think. -

Therefore, it seems that the density and super-valency of the northern hemisphere is responsible for the elliptical orbit
ROFLMAO! Super-valency huh? Ah, meat in due season...

DantheMan, you are not showing respect for God's chosen channel of communication(tm). :-)
Jahoobee is practical, and the Earth is likewise. If you can not understand these simple, practical concepts, then you should spend more time out in service explaining them to others! That is the only way you will really learn: repeating what you don't understand.
