Thank you for asking. He is doing well. We have his quarterly spinal chemo treatment on Monday which is always challenging. We do our best to make it a special day for him. Favorite movies, usually Star Wars, Steak, Mac & Cheese, new present, and so on. He only has 4 more of these and then he will hopefully be good to go. We are so looking forward to February 2016 when his treatment is done. Then Make-A-Wish trip for my kids hopefully a Disney Cruise. -

The Bible is NOT Error-Free
by FusionTheism infor many christians, the bible is viewed as the 100% error-free, perfect book straight from god, where every single word was carefully chosen by god for a reason.
but, usually, when you have a discussion on the topic, these christians will end up saying that only the original copies written directly from the hands of the prophets and apostles were error-free, and all manuscript copies since then are subject to copyist mistakes and other errors.. since zero original copies are in existence, how do we know the originals were error-free?
why should we think the originals should be error-free to begin with?

FT - Ask yourself if you would be defending the Vedas, the Quran, or Moroni if you were born into one of these as you were into Christianity.
I for one know that I would have. It is all I have ever known. Be honest with yourself and then analyze your current belief system. Whether you are biased in your conclusions or if you let the evidence guide you. It is extremely difficult to let go. Painful even.
What do you value most? I value truth above all. My ego still gets in the way more often than I like. But I keep questioning, whether it's uncomfortable or not.

Xanthippe - yes I should have made it clearer in my original post. I was not even thinking of the former Princess Diana of England. -

Simon says.
Sad, so sad. When will people like you and the rest of fairy tale believing mankind wake up from the non sense that is religion/any religion? Christian apologists just like JW apologists lose on all fronts. Your only hope is the god of the gaps theory and anyone can use that to state a belief in anything. Say Thor or Princess Diana.
Site fairy tale text all you want. It holds no authority other than vain allegiance to man made belief systems. Written as well stated by others, by iron age goat herders trying to make sense of their world. The GB follow the example of their principal text better than most other fundamentalist Christian denominations. By speaking out of both sides of their mouths. Letting their readers pick and choose what suits them best.
Your cognitive dissonance is palpable just like all believing JW's.

If you were put in charge of the Governing Body tomorrow...
by FusionTheism inif you were somehow magically put in-charge of the governing body tomorrow, by jesus, with the rules being, you could not teach anything that would be considered outright apostasy and you could not teach anything that would be considered to cause doubt about god's existence... (so as not to arouse suspicion).
what "new light" or "clarified understandings" would you introduce first?.
and which later on?.

State that it is all bunk along with the bible and gods/religions. Apologize for all the harm done and set up a fund for all those that have lost loved ones to this corrupt despicable cult. -

Sparrowdown voluntarily handing over control of our brain applies to those not reared in it from birth. I didn't volunteer it was put upon me. When my grandparents became JW's there was no such thing as shunning. Hell they even condemned other churches for doing it.
This is a life and death issue. One that I feel the public does not know enough about and desperately needs to. When a life and death situation is put upon someone with moments in many cases to move and emotions prevail guess what wins? It's not logic that's for certain.
Every JW and child of JW's lives at risk of dying unnecessarily. They need to know ahead of time how this is wrong. In fact one month after waking up to TTATT a dear friend who was one of the few that was continuously there for my family through my son's treatment was diagnosed with adult leukemia. She refused blood as any good JW would and died within a month. Leaving behind a teenage son scheduled for open heart surgery this year. I wish there was a way to accomplish waking people up to this on a large scale, but the a holes at the top demonize those of us that really care about these people. Our family, friends, and children.
