  O brien just says "it's the disassociated person who makes the decision to shun the congregation."

  WOW ! The congregation are the victims now!

  Bro Spinksy of the Aus Branch currently being torn a new one at the Commission hearing - his smug ineptitude is a joy to behold.

  Was/Is Religion Useful Even if it isn't True?

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in his book "the righteous mind" jonathan haidt proposes that religion served - and continues to serve an important role in bringing about cohesion within non-kin groups.. to put it very briefly haidt advocates a form of group selection but only insofar as it applies to humans.

  our unique brains have made it possible for us to cooperate in groups in ways that are impossible for all non-human species.

  despite their intelligence you will never see two chimps helping each other to carry the same log or one chimp pulling down a branch while the other removes the fruit.. his description is that humans are 90% chimp and 10% bee.

  The grouping of people who share a similar view or belief can make them more cohesive and cooperative and tap into the "master" mind, that is a co-ordination of knowledge and effort for the attainment of a definite purpose but can also promote mindlessness, create order followers and stifle innovation and new ideas.

  "You are my witnesses says Jehovah"

  by NikL in

  2. friends

  "you are my witnesses says jehovah".. this is going to show you how poor my knowledge of the bible has been.. i thought there was a scripture that says the quoted phrase (at least in nwt).

  i could swear that i heard it for years quoted in talks.. i went to find it this morning and found nothing of the sort.

  am i an anomaly or do any of you remember this as well?.

  I remember the scripture saying "You are my witnesses is the utterence of Jehovah"

  Not "says"

  Sorry if this has been said already the pages and comments are weird.

  The Danger of Settlements

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was pondering the recent influx of lawsuits against wt, specifically in regards to the child abuse cases (ie.

  conti, fessler, lopez, etc).. in each of these, wt has settled for an "undisclosed" amount, assumed to be in the millions of dollars each.

  i know there are many many more cases, subject for a different thread i'm sure.. i was reading something completely unrelated a while back that mentioned the dangers of settlement agreements for a large corporation or business (not just wt).

  I don't care if WT goes down by being crippled by lawsuits or fines, crash and burn, shrivel on the vine, death by a thousand cuts...
