"... I am trying to take the attitude that it sort of slipped out before she thought about it, and then it took about 3 pages to reel it back in."
True, I'll concede to that.

If THIS MAN were a Jehovah's Witness 2 million babies would be dead
by Terry injames harrison has magical blood.. specifically, his blood contains an extremely rare enzyme that can be used to treat babies dying of rhesus disease.
if you've never heard of that disease and figure it's not a big deal, well, wait for the numbers.. harrison, being a generous type, has donated his rare, life-saving blood roughly 1,000 times over 56 years.
this has saved the lives of--seriously, you're not going to believe this--over two million babies around the world.. .

No one can know, nor is there anyway to predict what kind of person a baby will become as it grows to maturity. What a senseless devil's advocate high jacking of a serious OP.
Hope that gentleman lives a long life and gives as much blood as his health allows. As to the wt their twisted blood doctrine has murdered more innocent babies, children and adults that has left a stain on them that can never be washed away.

The gun is the SHUN: the JW's who no longer believe but cannot leave!
by Terry inthe insidious bind the watchtower religion places on their members is unconscionable.. holding family and friends "hostage" as an extortion strategy may be their most potent weapon of enforced conformity.. .
in effect, like an armed criminal who points a gun at you and threatens "your money or your life", the watchtower leadership.
holds the power to separate dissenting members from those whom they most cherish.

"SHUN GUN"....brillant....
Good to see you brought this topic up and glad I scanned the active topics before posting, especially since your thread is pithy and straight to the point. You know I have a tendency to pontifficate......
"IS THERE ANY SOLUTION?"...Terry....understand their reason and decision to go back....no matter how clandestine one must be, let them know they have support on the outside along with a safety net to fall back on, in the event their uncovered.
We have no idea what the wts will do in the future to squeeze every drop of allegiance out of the R&F.

Watchtower Theology is based on inauthentic foundation: proof texts
by Terry inwatchtower theology is propped up by proof texts.. if the texts are inspired, the watchtower claims it is empowered to reveal the meaning.. but--consider how flimsy, inauthentic and unprovable the foundation of this teaching really is.. .
consider the difference (if any) in meaning between these two renderings.. .
1.all scripture is inspired by god and useful for teaching, reproving and setting things straight.. .

Surely that is a shaky foundation for us to make claims of PROOF TEXT accuracy.....Terry
Very shaky indeed. Up until the time of Constantine there was NO NEW TESTAMENT. There were hundreds of letters [ epistles ] that circulated among the various Church groups. Did they have a Bible? Yes. The so called Old Testament that had been canonized by the Jews. You must UNDERSTAND that many Church groups, influenced by their local Bishop, didn't even accept that as inspired scripture.
I do not think that proof texts can be settled to anyones satisfaction simply because there are no ORIGINALS in existence.

Thanks Terry for putting it in simple terms...
Terry's summary is much of what I have in mind. Also, his suggestion of 3 min clips [ 3 to 5 in IMO ] would make incoming videos much more manageable and easier to edit into a time line. Didn't even think of cell phones with their cameras. See, you would be your own film crew.
In the next 1 to 2 days I'll post a more detailed outline of what I have in mind. BTW, need a working title...mine is "Why be a Jehovah's Witness"...So, let's hear fom you, what's your title?
One more time I want to emphasize this is an open minded project...not meant to rip the wt, nor, be a kiss, kiss, hold hands commentary. being OBJECTIVE is the purpose. ALL VIEWSfrom negative to positive, and everything in between will be included. Heh, heh...Athist's and Pagan's you can be a part as well. What you have to say is important to the subject at hand.
One more thing. I'm a Natural Deist : God, The Deity, The Creator, Divine Providence, whatever expression you wish to use are ALL appropriate in defining and describing the entity that exist.

Thanks Cedars I will.....when I say jw's I mean the apologist who post to this board. I want as many video clips from folks that can be compiled, edited into a smooth flowing commentary. Everyone gets their chance.
There would be no film crews. I'm not a production company, nor do I have that kind of resource. This would be a joint venture for those interested.

I can't believe this
by truthseeker1969 inyou all know i was in the uk settling estate issues and that the elders 'wanted to chat with me".. well i left before they could have the meeting i arranged on my "free day".. they turned up at my mothers home and were livid that i had gone, but here is the kicker.. brother heavenly described me as a potential apostate for what i had done, which sent my brother over the edge and he demanded a retraction and apology which they quickly gave him.
he intends to speak with the co when he comes on the matter.. it gets better, elder ballbag actually said "apostates do more good for the congregation than they think.
they pull those who should not be part of the org and clean the congregation" .
