  why do there have to be wars?

  why is there so much hatred?.

  the collective answer i came up with is natalisam, or maybe the correct word should be politics?

  Lol well freemind my friend, the odds usually start at 20 pages, over/under. The OP isnt dogmatic though so that takes it down a little. The only hope for a long running battle is for some of the god people to show up and spout silliness prompting viv/coffy to battle back.

  One of the biggest complete 180 contradictions in the SAME ARTICLE, in the 9/15 study wt "Is your conscience a reliable guide?".

  if you actually turn your brain on and process what is being said, this article keeps contradicting itself.

  "jehovah god created humans with free will, that is, the liberty to choose between one option and another.neither a branch office nor the local congregation elders are authorized to make health-care decisions for a witness.

  a christian needs to remember the biblical command to keep abstaining from .

  EOM, respectfully, arguing with VIV is historically a bad move. Only one person ever won an argument with viv, some legend named Morpheus. You are no Morpheus.

  and you and I totally agree on that ob, no question. Unfortunately I still have some inside that I care about and such a line of reasoning may prompt them to think just enough to see the obviousness of the truth...

  The truth..?

  That you are a slave.. Like everyone else in the organization, you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.....

  It only takes one chink in the armor. I like to have little things like that to take a chink out if possible

  The point was A) the gb was wrong in the first century and B) paul was not beholden to some imaginary central authority. Neither should dubs today.

  *stating the obvious- im not bible believer but if that pans out then i want to have that in my pocket

  Interesting points..... Also consider the reason for filling chapter 7/11 is to protect assets and deal with creditors... Would that apply to the wt? What assets are up as collateral and what would need protection? Would there be hope for them to pay off debt? If not what would happen? A sell off?

  Its an interesting question cognac.... If this were a normal company/corporation the answer would be "when it makes financial sense to do so"

  the variable here is that they arnt just a corporation, they are a religious cult corporation. The extra 'god is on our side' aspect may drive them to do some otherwise foolish things... My answer though is ultimately: when it makes financial sense to do so. They will spin it the rank and file as a sign of the end type thing, play it up as "we gave it all up for the sake of the good news" blah blah blah.....

  the really interesting thing is that it could happen! They were so stable fo so long its facinating to see it as a possibility
