Flipper,
"They just cannot accept defeat or being made to even appear as if they were negligent or in the wrong."
I think it's just cold blooded calculations. Several hundred thousand dollars in attorney fees may save them several million in awarded damages.

quote in title taken from article footnote.. anyone have information on who gene hwang and yan-der hsuuw in the article are?.
why do they repeatedly state that apes turned to humans when that's not what evolutionists teach at all?.
James Brown,
"It seems like science changes like religion changes. They both try to force the current information into their world view."
The science back then was incomplete. We now have over a dozen species discovered. So any change is towards better understanding.
would you do a ray franz deal and write a book or keep quiet and live out the rest of your life in bethel?.
would you keep reading the watchtower magazine?.
just thought this was interesting and wanted to see all of your thoughts and opinions on it.. watchtower, november 15, 2014, simplified study edition, pages 11-12:.
9 let us examine the words of three brothers who for many years have worked closely with members of the governing body.
one brother mentioned: while this has indeed been a unique privilege of service, the close association has from time to time revealed that, although spirit anointed, these brothers are imperfect.
FusionTheism,
"...the close association has from time to time revealed that, although spirit anointed, these brothers are imperfect"
I've noticed that they're using mock humility lately.

Indeed. Any "ape" in our evolutionary tree dates from 3 million years ago, let's say Australopithecine Afarensis. Anything after that would be in the lineage of Homo.
so how much do you understand about brainwashing, its application and effects ?
essentially lures people into its grasps and then brainwashes them for exploitation and manipulative purposes by using mental indoctrination techniques.. here's a quick quiz to take to answer some of these questions.
http://voicesfordignity.com/brainwashing-iq/.
I got this one right but I didn't agree with it:
"No one makes a drastic change in their identity, personality, and values unless they have experienced some kind of abuse or trauma that caused changes in their brain. Those who emerge from having been brainwashed have survived a traumatic experience."
I got this one wrong and I don't agree with it. Why should we consider ourselves to having been coerced?
"Brainwashing uses coercive persuasion to cause a non-agreeing person to believe in something they previously did not want to believe."
PS: I got 18 out of 21.
your going to enjoy the latest rumor i heard why i have not been to meeting for around nine months, i am a homosexual!
i was caught having a drink at one of the gay bars for business, yes people still talk business in bars.
revelation 17:4).and murderers, and fornicators (cf.
During the Bethel purges in 1980 the rumor was that the disfellowshipped ones were gay. Of course, the real reason was apostasy.
As for me the rumor was that I was df'd for reading apostate literature. Actually I didn't read such literature until after I was dif'd.
so, i was thinking - who of the above still has the most influence on current wts doctrine and dogma?.
rutherford obviously created the smokescreen around 1914/607 but overall his work has been superseded i would suggest.. knorr created the various schools and they or their offspring still live on.
wasn't it during his tenure that all the blood doctrine, types/anti types (now chucked away of course), transplants etc came along?

Rutherford, Knorr or Franz - Who has the most influence on doctrine & process now?
SimonSays,
From the above list, I would say The God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac along with Jesus.
threads on the newer jw face of public "witnessing" have shared in common the astonishment that jws safely park themselves behind their literature trolleys and exercise incredibly little contact with passersby.
whether the poster is talking about europe or the united states or australia, descriptions here are the same.. literature stands are protective sheilds behind which jws huddle, talking to each other, sipping on their espressos, whilst the disinterested world passes by.
neither the jws nor the passersby catch each others eyes.
