Definition: "technically accurate" means accurate from the Bible's perspective "but misleading" because it sounds almost like the Watchtower teaching which is NOT "technically accurate...but misleading.
another thread on the wt may 1st 2002 issue.. jehovah hates the course of treachery.

treachery.
simple definition = "betrayal of trust".
the may 1st 2002 wt has an article entitled "jehovah hates the course of treachery".
I and a good friend have been actively discussing the possibility of a lawsuit against the WTBTS, a lawsuit for Treachery. Simple definition = "betrayal of trust".
As a member of this "society" (piety society), I feel that I have been betrayed and ill-informed ;aka-lied to. I would have made many different decisions if the WTBTS had not lied to me. Different life decisions, different financial decisions.
We are going to be speaking to a few lawyers about this angle.
I would have to establish deciet. That, NOW, should not be any problem. The court woud HAVE to hear religious dsicussions, like it or not. Yet recent decisions handed down by the courts might make this possible.
We will have to bone up a few bucks and see.
the april 22 issue of awake!
contains no less than 5 quotations from the guardian newspaper of the uk.. you may recall that the guardian's religious affairs editor wrote some very revealing articles about the wts and its ngo status in the un.
remember how the wts pr department issued a statement defending their position and how they corresponded with stephen bates and reminded us all that the wts views the guardian as a serious, factual and reliable newspaper that it quotes regularly?
The "religious leaders" (aka;vipers) at NYHQ don't want to hear the truthR any more than their predecesors of the first century.
They want to be full time hypocrites and continue to say "...there is peace, there is peace, when there is no peace

I guess I could have fit more if I used smaller print. But then I would have had to put a magnifing glass in every envelope.
a little background is that i stopped going to the meetings 7 months ago.
my husband is and has been inactive for many years but still feels that even though there are many things wrong with the org.. that they are the true religion.. ok, so what was my reaction when my husband came out of our room and asked: .
"what is this crisis of conscience book ?
You'd be surprised to find out that your mate, after reading them, was as convinced as are you, that the ORG is BS.
Mine was. HURRAY!

I think Stratton is right in the heart of Hillbillytown. And I think that their 'lawyur' is Hillbilly Bob himself.

Well... the "good people of Stratton" by now must have their letter. Let's see what happens now.
easing nature is it for christians?
easing nature the very phrase itself brings to mind the odious product of this activity.
yet, many people have the understanding that this natural bodily function is a practice in which true christians may engage.
I did some research on this very same topic a few years ago. I saved my research. I found in the w49 1/15 p.7 this gem...
TO EASE OR NOT TO EASE
...and it has been found that among prison inmates, a full 100 percent engage in this act. As well, an anonymous survey of 144000 catholic priests and nuns was quite revealing. It showed that most of these ones also regularily engaged in this practice. So the question for true Christians is this, "Would I want to be counted in among those who abviously merit God's displeasure?" Certainly not! So let it be the goal of every true Christian to fully refrain from this practice.Remember what 1 Corinthians 6:13 says,
13 Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods; but God will bring both it and them to nothing. Now the body is not for [easing nature], but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body.Some may ask the question "What if I see another true Christian secretly engaging in this "unclean", unclean of course by it's very nature. Surely every true Christian would be willing to run to the elders immediatly with the "dirt" on their brother's dirt.

*** g87 9/8 19-20 How Serious Is Masturbation? ***
Since easing nature is not directly condemned in the Bible, does this mean it is harmless? Absolutely not! Even those not especially concerned with God’s viewpoint feel uneasy about the practice. For instance, Dr. Aaron Hass in his survey of the bodily functions of 625 teenagers reported: “The majority of adolescents who eased nature reported feeling guilty, ashamed, dirty, stupid, embarrassed, or abnormal.” Surely, easing nature is an unclean habit. But since “uncleanness,” according to the Bible, is a term that allows for a wide range of degree of seriousness, easing nature is not to be classed with such serious sins as fornication or other types of gross bodily immorality.—Ephesians 4:19.
However, God realizes that observing the Bible’s prohibitions against gross bodily immorality is not easy. He, therefore, gives advice on how to avoid bodily immorality. He ‘teaches you to benefit yourself.’ (Isaiah 48:17) The principles of his Word indicate that you “benefit yourself” by strongly resisting this unclean habit, primarily because it smells bad . . .

You know... I called Abraham Cantor 6 weeks ago. He wasn't interested in any help. I told his secretary that basically, if Abe goes with his own ideas, he's going to be eaten alive.
Nope. He didn't want any help. He was confident that he had it in the bag. And I thought to myself, 'this guy should be a dub... he's just as deluded'.
Sure as shoes, he goes in there without having taken a good hard look as past cases where the WTS (Wiley, Tricky Snake) has won. He was so self absorbed that he thought he could win on his good looks and brains.
I bet he's short, fat and stupid. And now he's sitting in his little office THE LOSER, cause he didn't do his homework. And Judge Renqhist told him nothing less than exactly that.
I bet he's just another arrogant lawyer.
Like I said, he should be a dub.
