I suspect something along those lines, a "gotcha" sort of moment after people comment on it.... But i wanted to at least know what the intended "gotcha" was going to be

by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.christianpost.com/news/jimmy-carter-says-jesus-would-not-support-abortion-revealing-only-conflict-between-his-politics-and-christian-faith-141881/.
carter said that as a young man he used to be a jehovah's witness before he was a baptist christian.. .
"it's hard to grow up with such a foundational system and just let it go.

Who or What is the Holy Spirit?
by FusionTheism intradition within christianity has long been that any time the phrases holy spirit, holy ghost, or spirit of godare used in the bible (especially in the new testament), it always refers to the mysterious third divine person of the trinity, who is fully god, co-equal to the father and son, yet somehow distinct.. i want to present a simplified alternative view: let the context determine the meaning!.
(one thing to keep in mind is that the meaning of the bible words used for spirit basically is unseen force or invisible presence.).
the holy spirit as the mind and personality of god.

What really shows how stupid that whole theory proves to be is that once appoimted elders are told that their appointment is not in fact by HS. The wt says that an appointment can only be said to be by HS to the extent that the brother meets and lives upto the qualifications in the scriptures. A classic 'moving the goal post' maner of evidentiary logic. And complete bull*bleep* -

JW Hatred and Elders Apathetic Manners Drove Me Here! Why are JWs fooled in to thinking the WTS Cares?
by Judas Maccabee infor years i've been screwed with by some very bad people, people satan would kick out of his organization because even the devil might let up on evil just to allow someone to catch their breath.
with the jwism's bad people move up while good people move down or leave the kingdom hall for good.
i was talking with two elders who said "you know if you return to the kingdom hall, jehovah will bless you and these people will stop screwing with you.

How screwed are you...? Only as screwed as you want to be. She sounds like a bit of a train wreck. A mooch living off of you and giving nothing in return. Been there done that. It will NEVER change. Leave while you can. If you are child free then dear god run now. It wont be long before she gets pregnant. -

Sigh.... Viv, Thor is a God. Spiderman is just a kid who got bitten by a radioactive spider that gave him the the proportional strength of said arachnid. Nobody ever argues that spiderman is remotely on Thors level in strength/power.
Also nobody worships spiderman.
Also Thor is real, spiderman is just a fictional comic character.
A more appropriate comparison would be goku verses superman, which is also silly because superman wins everytime but at least they are both fictional.
Like the spirit.

How Far Apart Were Your Legs?
by Joe Grundy inseveral threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.
fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.
a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

Sam Herd’s comment on the 2001 Dateline expose
by Londo111 inim going by memory, so not an exact quote...i believe this was around 2002, at the crownsville assembly hall (now sold from what i understand)..
he said basically: some people watch an hour show and give up the faith that theyve had for decades..
the impact of this show was like a canon being shot into a swimming pool.

One of the most difficult things in life is to challenege long held beliefs. Its especially difficult having been a part of a cult, as we can all relate. Im willing to cut fisherman some slack i hope we all can :)
