  my excuse is that i was born in the religion.

  but if someone wasn’t, why would they become one?.

  as it's highly unlikely i'll ever go to warwick, i found lloyd evans latest video fascinating.

  i had no idea that the whole 'museum' (if you can call it that) was so big.

  notice the credit card machines by the entrance.

  Because you cannot please everyone I think at some point you need to decide who your target audience is because trying to appeal to active jduds and ex-jw communty alike is a bit confusing. When you have recently left your sensitivity to WT criticism is still quite high.

  Is he an "activist" or a reviewer? I would call him a reviewer now.

  so, my son bought me a device that allows me to look up and watch anything i want.

  i remember years ago , i enjoyed the television show hee haw on sunday evenings.

  i naively thought it was wholesome family entertainment.

  "Pioneer camp" sounds a little bit strange and creepy.

  Where were the displays proudly focusing on the things that make JWs "different so therefore true" to all other false religion?

  You'd have thought the Guardians of Doctrine could devote at least one display to all the people who's lives have been destroyed because of the no-blood doctrine. I mean if you lay down your life for WT don't you deserve a passing mention for your loyalty and obedience to death?

  What about the history of shunning? A "NOT a Cross" room? A "Trinity Sminity" display? A "Creation" room?

  C,mom WT you're not trying hard enough.

  And appparently filming someone on your phone is "cinematoghraphy." Lol. Seemed like a homage to WT.

  Honestly, as a "museum" it was boring as ... even with all the wizzbang displays and lightbox dealy-whoppers I couldn't imagine a more boring tour. I did think of an alternate title for the vid though.

  Does "Hanlon's Razor" apply to the Governing Body?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recently learned of the term "hanlon's razor".. wikipedia defines it as: .

  hanlon's razor is an aphorism expressed in various ways including "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

  " it recommends a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for a phenomenon (a philosophical razor).. so could it be said that this applies to the gb / society ?.
