Its interesting i had a similar thought but it came from a different angle. After the episode i was talking with an appointed brother who watches the show as well (yea i know). I expressed my hope that stanks would pay for that with his life and how absolutly horrific it was that he did that at the direction of this red woman.... The brother (who has a youmg daughter himself!) sympathized with stanis and called it a hard choice!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was stunned beyond words but as i thought about it..... He would do the exact same thing if his little girl needed a blood transfusion. He would sacrifice her at the order of the org without hesitation.

Game of Thrones - Shunning
by berrygerry ini waited a week to avoid any spoilers.. last week's episode was harsh, to say the least.. a live burning-at-the-stake of a child to please the gods.. and yet, we have conventions taking place around the world - with bravos to those parents who sacrifice the emotional well-being of their children by shunning them.
clap-clap-clap.. what is worse, killing them outright, or the long, drawn-out emotional sacrifice demanded by the modern-day baal, gb 2.0?.

Very imteresting read marvin. I appreciate the article from the malwain author as well. In Crisis of Conscience Ray Franz does an excellent job explaining that the us branch would have advised them buying the cards was fine, however the local brothers forbade it initially and the Brooklyn didnt want to overturn it. Awefull story of unessary loss and torture because of blindly following following fools who are following fools. -

My Way of Interpreting the Bible is the ONLY Right Way!
by FusionTheism inwhether you are a christian, jew, undecided, agnostic, or atheist, isn't having the attitude that only ***your*** interpretation of the bible could be correct, or only ***you*** know what the bible means, -- .
isn't this a form of closed-mindedness, arrogance, and a superiority complex?.
in addition, isn't trying to force someone to conform to ***your*** interpretation of the bible the opposite of "freethinking?

I cant believe you started another thread over this but I think the point is that you cant pick and choose what makes you feel warm fuzzy from the bible and ignore the parts that bother you all the while calling yourself a bible believer/christian -

black truth? Sigh.... My head hurts all over again. What is that? Is it different from white truth? Or asian truth? Or cat truth? Or flower truth? Has it ever occurred to you that your more obsessed with race than anyone around you, that maybe your the problem? -

Yea anyone who thinks theres a snowballs chance in hell of getting rid of lett proves only that they knowing about the org. If they dump a gb member it would be admitting he wasnt selected by HS. Never. Ever. Happen. Not just because hes a buffon. They knew that when they appointed him. -

The Case for Theism
by FusionTheism in"theism" here means "belief in a god" or "the worldview that an intelligent designer created the universe and life.
" ("god" here means a being with a mind who initiated and/or wound-up the universe, and designed life on earth)the most common claim that i see atheists making on twitter, is that "no evidence" exists in support of belief in a god.this post will remove any excuse atheists have for claiming "no evidence exists" in support of an initiator.
atheists can still reject this evidence as "weak," but they cannot truthfully say it does not exist.now, it is true that we do not have "observable, repeatable, falsifiable, empirical, scientific" evidence conclusively proving that an initiator exists, but we do have many lines of philisophical, experiential, and logical evidence.and... here... we... go:1:) many leading scientists, including stephen hawking, say that the space-time-matter universe had a beginning at the singularity/big bang.

Lol now we are trying to arguing over the definision of athiest.... As someone without a belief in a sky daddy i quote john lenon:
"i dont believe in beatles i believe in me"
define it how you want, use whatever word you want, the end result is the same.

If shunning was a conscience matter?
by aintenoughwiskey inwhat do you think the reaction would be?
i would say a small portion (single digit) would walk.
no loss for the borg, they weren't donating anyway.

You are not the first to ask this question. My view is the org would crumble in 5 years. The minute shunning is no longer policy 25 percent of the org leaves. People like me who are faking it anyway. After that organizational control falls apart. People start realizing they can do as they as please and what they please isnt likely to be what the wt org wants. Field Serve us falls off rapidly for most. Before long people feel free to question and the flood gates open from one to another.
The org will absolutely positivly never ever ever end shunning. Cults never up control. The second they do, they are no longer cults
