  Great review of a truly awful movie.

  JWs will eat it up with awe and wonder as evidence of the great and powerful movie making abilities of GB/Jehovah.

  Because propoganda is very effective, and WT knows that.

  When is a theory 'just a theory'?

  by HB in

  the titles of cofty's excellent recent posts are all preceeded by the words "evolution is a fact...".

  richard dawkins is encouraging people to use the term 'fact' in relation to evolution, especially when debating with creationists as the word 'theory' is confusing to many, and the latter often takes the discussion off on an often unproductive tangent.

  the following may be of interest, it's from the bbc website - part of a regular series of articles called 'the vocabularist', discussing the origin and meaning of words: .

  Theory means unproven to JWs until they are describing the overlapping generations theory then it is fact.

  It reminds me of how JWs use the term "critical thinking" like it really means bitchy thinking.

  Yep, I knownof several cases where this happened. I think it is more common than many people would think. The elders (in the instances I know of) will tell the brothers not to talk about it, because it's negative and discouraging.

  Why facts fail to reach the faithful, (even the intelligent ones)

  by done4good in

  i posted this on another thread, and decided it deserves its own...thoughts?.

  an unfortunate artifact of evolution is that belief can, and often does trump fact.

  survival is at the core of what belief is about.

  If he wants to be reinstated he would be wishing you didn't do that, if caught, the elders would blame him for the exchange and could affect his chances of reinstatement.

  That's how effective the mind control/emotional blackmail is. You actually subject yourself to this grovelling bull shit to get back in the "good books" of the "friends"

  "Acceleration" in WT lingo means applying the brakes, screaching to a halt, awaiting the sickening thud.

  Leaked Elder's Video: How to deal with a suicidal sister

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower

  this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.

  however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.

  feel free to claim credit here.

  And just think of all the ignorant f-wit elders who would actually believe this propoganda bs video to be how things go down.

  Problem - suicidal sister.

  Solution - share a scripture and some cookies.

  Result - the elders can go back to ignoring her.

  Yeah, that's how it works you delusional fools.

  Boy, Jehovah's "chariot" is really speeding down that "highway of holiness" (phrase courtesy of Feb 2016 broadcast) and it needs money for fuel and snacks.
