in watching the latest video in the series "was it designed?

" at tv-dot-jw-dot-org, i got to wondering why is it that watchtower hardly references scientist that are creationist.

i know its only a minority from that group, but there are enough out there for them to reference from.

Every time I put it to a JW on a cart that they are creationists they take offence. You have to explain the difference to them between old-earth and young-earth varieties of stupid.

Even at that, cofty, they are a weird hybrid of young earth/old earth creationists. They sort of kind of are willing to admit that dinosaurs and such lived 100,000’s of years ago and that earth is eons of time old, but also twist into pretzels to make it all fit into the model that globe was wipped out with a flood 4k years ago and ignore the geological evidance of that.

If they were honest, in articles such as these, they would write: Despite persecution, we will uphold our practice of shunning, our refusal of blood and non collaboration with authorities in cases pertaining to paedophilia.

A good summation and, if they used that type of lanuage, i bet they would get the exact same result. The loyal jw’s would that paragraph as “we are persecuted for upholding the desert god’s standards”. Same/same in their minds.

So, lets circle back.

Between 199 and 2003, the witnesses in georgia (russia) were persecuted very much as that picture shows. That ultimately subsided but then in april of 2017 the supreme court of russia issued a ruling that designed the jw’s as religious extremists.

That ruling let to EXACTLY what is depicted in the illustration being discussed happening across russia.

How, then, is the picture “fear mongering”?

i certainly dont think it will happen in the USA or Britain or many other civilized western lands, but you cant call it fear mongering when it is currently happening in a so called industrialized, modern first world country.

To your second screed, what do you think they are “hiding” by “pushing fear mongering”? As noted, it is really happening, but what do you think they cover up by discussing it? How are they “wicked hypocrites” for pointing out that the government of a country is indeed rading the private homes of their members in a so called civilized country?
