In all fairness steve2 was just stating how the court system would work not what his particular opinion would be. No reason to give him 2 negative votes for that.

help me understand: My wife seems to be utterly detested by skelletons and skulls. Why?
by goingthruthemotions inso, here i am again....asking more questions to help me understand my wife.
she was brought up in the cult in the 70's and 80's.
so i can only imagine what kind of indoctrination she deals with.

Why is she so freaked out by skeletons and skulls.
Some people are freaked out by that kind of thing. When I was a child I got a gift from my godfather that was a small medical model of a skeleton (He was a doctor). I didn't want to throw it away but I was so spooked that I turned it around so that it wouldn't be facing me. That was before I had anything to do with the Witnesses.

Evolutionists Who Are Against Darwinism
by Perry inthis is a nice list of evolutionary scientists and their quotes regarding the impossibility of naturalism or materialism being able to account for life as it is observed :.
evolutionists against darwinism.
most, while sympathetic and respectful of their more committed colleagues, are disparaged as morons for not carrying the materialism banner as a religion, as a matter of faith.

Perry, are you getting friendly with Theistic Evolutionists? I thought they were going to hell for believing that Adam and Eve swung on trees.
In either case this is my favorite book on the subject of evolution versus creationism. 500 pages of detailed rebuttal after rebuttal on every talking point that Creationists have come up with.

Getting the Urge!
by Theburstbubble inevening folks, so as some of you may know we have recently decided to leave the witnesses and can see it for the man made organisation it is.
so, why do i get the urge to go back and feel guilty for not being there!
it's like my mind is telling me to be logical about it all but then something keeps pulling me back.. don't get me wrong i really want to break free from it all and i'm resisting the urge to go back as i have been miserable in the truth for a long time as i've known it's not right and want to do the best by my daughter.

My advise is to read the "apostate" literature such as Raymond Franz Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom (available free in PDF). After doing that you'll likely have less and less desire to go back. -

How Scary Are Circuit Overseers Now?
by minimus inback in the day, when the co came to the congregation, it was quite stressful for the elders and often, the rank and file.
.
is it as big a deal as it used to be?.

Just out of curiosity, how can a CO be deleted if circumstances should call for it? -

The elders of the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s
by truthseeker inhaving just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.
and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.
many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.

What went wrong in your congregation?
by The Rebel inthe target is converts.. why does it seem such an outrageous aim for a congregation to recruit new converts?.
in my old congregation, the enthusiasm was there but the knocking on doors produced zero " baptisms" in my final years.. a) why so little interests?.
b) was it the internet ?.

The Watchtower is always changing it's procedures so it's understandable that he would be asked if there was a change. However I would have asked Spinks why he was doing things differently than the Flock book.
