I do. Let's be honest with ourselves, even if you have an ax to grind with the WTS. I mean, the quote in question was merely a statement of what he believed to be a fact, or else he wouldn't have said it. There was nothing in the quote (and everyone has the right to make accurate quotes under the fair use doctrine), that even remotely suggested that he was pro-creationism or anything like that. It was a true, in context quote. I can understand why he wouldn't want to be associated with creationists, etc., but his actions, more like a little tantrum, were unusual. I think the WTS just thought it was easier to edit the digital edition to avoid a controversy, but even that was a favor. For Rama Singh to also demand an apology is laughable and goes against principles of free speech and reporting.

Do you think the 'Rama Singh misquote' situation is uncalled for?

Celebrating Holidays Should Be a "Conscience Matter"
by Wild_Thing inthe witnesses seem to love to make things a "conscience matter" and then just shame people into doing whatever it is they want them to do anyway.
so, why haven't they done this with the holidays?
there are plenty of scriptures in their own bible they could use to justify making it a conscience matter, yet the last i knew, celebrating christmas was still a disfellowshipping offense.

Christmas isn't a disfellowshipping offense, and neither is taking blood. They are, however, viewed as acts of disassociation, no committee required. Besides blatant ones like Xmas and Halloween, many holidays actually are conscience matters, including Thanksgiving and others . . . but you will be looked at suspiciously. -

Convention dramas only started in the 60s, and they've had several audio-only dramas starring Jesus. It may have more to do with being reluctant to cast someone as a perfect man, I dunno. BTW, I wonder if these'll be prerecorded again. -

"BRAZEN CONDUCT" The current way of enforcing disciplinary action.
by stuckinarut2 inthe penalty of this charge??
yes, disfellowshipping.. bad association?
excessive time at work?

Correct me if I'm wrong (with references or personal stories that don't involve apostasy or some other action that requires judicial review), but isn't 'brazen conduct' ONLY used as an ACCESSORY charge to a preexisting serious sin like hard porn, fornication or speaking against the elders? I don't think they would use it as a catch-all for 'minor' stuff. -
