Will JW.ORG actually harm the WT Society Long Term ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

my son and i were discussing this yesterday over coffee.

since the wt society in previous years virtually demonized going on the internet at all for jw's - now wt leaders are doing a complete turn around or about face probably so as to " compete " or keep up with all the anti-jw websites that are out there to give the wt society point of view.. however- it very well may backfire on them as once people start doing google searches looking for jw.org it will bring up all the other websites dealing with any jw issues and in the privacy of their own homes out of curiosity i'm sure lots of jw's are going to want to check out some of these sites to see what all the " apostate " hoopla is all about.

i wonder how many jw's will do this and will it have an effect in opening more minds to other views ?

What will exponentiate is the recruitment of non-tech savvy wackos, who do not have the funds to support the borg, whereas anyone with more than 2 brain cells will explore the claims made. Net result: moneyless drone increase, others - yeah, not so much.

I like the 22k spent on education and training. (For a 50 million dollar entity)

You get what you pay for.

by LogCon in

in 1969 rowan and martins laugh-in prophecied the fall of the berlin wall in 1989.. 20 years later in 1989, november, the berlin wall started to come down.. weird?.

Wow, what memories.

Reflections - Updating MD card - did you stop updating?

by berrygerry in

i finally removed my md card from my wallet yesterday.. although we were encouraged to create a new card annually, i had an internal hesitation, and a lack of enthusiam for it, as well as the meaningless cards for my kids.. the card that was pulled from my wallet was dated 1994. i obviously had some unconscious, if not conscious, problems with the borg, maybe with the 1995 generations bs.. did others stop updating their cards long before exiting?.

Kairos - you're the same as me, then.

Weird, isn't it?

(You wasted another 14 years, I wasted another 20 - bloody depressing)

Is truth relative?

by Pinku in

seeing various/changing laws on the same action, some may feel truth is relative, and there is no such thing as right and wrong.. yet a closer look at beneath the details would show that truth is not relative, and everyone knows what is right and wrong.. driving in the night by putting the head-light off is wrong, but right when country is in war with another country.

behind both the conflicting laws, the truth is same: safety and welfare of the people.

this is true of notion about what is right and wrong:.

berrygerry

To me, truth is absolute,

I have a mathematical, logical mind.

2 + 3 = 5.

That is truth.

The universe functions on precise math.
