  i may have mentioned this incident before.

  please bear with me...but it's one of the things that really showed me the lack of love and concern.. shortly before my mom kicked me out of the house, someone that i had trusted (my foolish mistake) turned me in to the elders, saying i was "espousing apostate ideology".

  never mind that this person constantly complained about the elders and went to less meetings than i did...but anyway...their "encouragement" consisted of telling me, "the reason why you're becoming so bitter and angry is because you're not doing enough in field service.

  Check your premises:

  Humans have a need for consistency. If we make a commitment to something, we have a natural need to make our other actions/thoughts consistent with that commitment.

  I liked this so much I copied it onto the book I am reading...

  JWs required to report medical information to elders

  there was an article, i believe in the awake!, that talks about a hypothetical medical worker who in a hypothetical situation comes to find out that a jw has accepted a medical procedure that is not accepted by the wts.

  this hypothetical worker must decide where or not she will report the hypothetical violation to the elders.

  does anyone recall where i can find this article?

  Only if he was able to translate some ancient egyptian hyerogliphs. And translated his new gospel from the book of the dead.

  Anyway, I hope his new gospel allows for multiple wives

  The problem I find with that site is that it refutes a lot of crap and then tries to implant a new set of crap in your head... as often happens with apologetics sites.

  Evidence against Evolution part 1 (disparity before diversity)

  by hooberus in

  according to the evolutionary teaching (of the descent of all life via universal common ancestry) diversity in the fossil record should precede disparity.

  ("disparity refers to the extent of morphological divergence among members of a group, while diversity refers to the number of taxa within a group.

  I don't see any point proven, either. That reasoning is similar to those in the Creation Book.

  I`m sure the book is worth $7. But I have other reading priorities right now.

  Great idea, anyway. Hope it gets attention!
