  Where to draw the line: how Platonism haunts our discourse and the search for exorcism

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the discussion about race i adopted a position i am not entirely comfortable with.

  i think there is a sense in which it is useful to distinguish categories of description that can be fruitfully defended (apples and bananas) and those that cannot (caucasian or other racial descriptions for example).

  but there is a more fundamental sense in which i believe that everything is socially constructed, every single line you can think of.

  "Where to draw the line ?"

  Simple : Never try to draw a line. There is not such a thing in nature... Everything is continuous!

  Ex JW's - Which Christian denomination are you with now and why?

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a question for ex jw's who have joined another christian faith group.

  the purpose of my question iis to find out which christian faith group you chose after leaving watchtower and what convinced you to travel this new spiritual path you are on.

  i am interested to know because i personally would like to find a genuine faith group where i can feel true christian liberty as i initially thought i had with the witnesses.

  I wonder what they make of that in Tagalog or Melanesian Pidgin?

  In french, they doesn't follow the issue at all. They use : "Nous devons nous évertuer à enlever de nos vies toute mentalité semblable à celle des Cananéens"

  Literally : "We must strive to remove from our lives every way of thinking similar at the Cananean one."

  in addition to visiting inactive ones, you should make a special effort to invite dis-
  fellowshipped ones to the Memorial

  
  For what purpose?
  To have 100 people looking at them like if they were monsters?
  No way!

  "dailymail.co.uk"...

  No?

  Someone in the world can take seriously an online "newspaper" in which every title of every article is more than 5 lines long?

  Yes!

  It's not all Russia, but only the Samara Oblast. The oblast in Russia, in some manner, are close to States in US. They have their own legislation.

  And to be more precise, it's not JW's who are banned, but the website JW.org. And 70 books are on the list of extremist religious material!
