For me I think it's women in positions of (even moderate) authority. Common place today; however in dub land if they so-much-as say a prayer they are forced to wear a tea-towel.

Name Some Things That JWs Look Down Upon That Normal People Wouldn't Even Think About?
by minimus injws look down on others for saying, "bless you" if someone sneezes.
it has something to do with the demons.
another example is that it is considered satanic if a man took his hat off for a lady!

A precious gift to all from Jehovah (channelled via Focus)
by Focus insome souls here may feel i was a little harsh.
if so, i am deeply sorry.
i was abused by a handful right from the start, presumably on the basis of the avatar picture (and 2001 vintage).. when visiting dubland, i often find that others start fights with me - for whatever reason, and i provide quite a supply of them - and when it doesn't quite go the way they expected, they cry persecution.

Hey great argument guys! I want in...
I think the point Caedes was trying to make is... by putting "Copyright Focus" on a little diagram posted on a backwater internet forum full of users very familiar with the Epicurean paradox without so much as mentioning the great thinker himself (or the raft of thinkers that have developed it since) grates a little on the sensibilities.
As we all know copyright is designed to protect intellectual property, especially to ensure financial security for the originator. The fact Focus placed "c Focus" on it suggests he believes it was somehow elevated above the status a 30 minute click-fest on gliffy or similar and has produced something with originality worth protecting and potentially with a financial value.
These diagrams are two a penny e.g. http://i.imgur.com/CRLq0Y8.jpg and (this is my personal opinion) the diagram Focus produced looks like an octopus falling out of a spaghetti tree. I seriously doubt Focus is at risk of intellectual property theft and suffering financial loss by the unauthorised recreation of this diagram.
Apologies to Brainfloss for continuing to deviate from the authorised list of topics allowed on JWN.
Now, with all that said… clearly we should not really pay any attention to Caedes. He comes from Cornwall and as all UK residents will admit and studies show the further from London you are based, the lower your IQ is likely to be. I know he eats too many pasties too; there were pasty crumbs on his first and second and fourth post.
I am pretty sure I know who Caedes is, but I will not shop the docs. All I will say is in the 70’s he removed all the 19’s from year dates causing the millennium bug. In the 80s and 90s he put the CFCs in aerosols in a master plan to destroy the ozone layer. Recently I am pretty sure he has been putting horses in beef burgers.
Oh and the post below this one is probably wrong.
:O)

Evolution: A Satanic Theory
by cofty inthere is an excellent new article at jehovah's trumpet.... friends, the following article is not about masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, or homosexuality so it may not be appropriate for children.
please use godly wisdom when deciding if your child is mature enough to consider this material.
we are going to have a frank discussion about the theory of evolution.... .

@Jgnat. You have the patience of a saint! You've supported him carefully on this journey since I joined this forum.
First post in an age (had to dig out the password to post too!) Oh, and, it took me half dozen attempts to pass the captcha... I may be a robot!? I'll be offering everyone a free ipad next! :o\

NEW LIGHT: The WT Leadership has been wrong about their own identity for the last 93 years!
by Oubliette inso by now, we all know about the "new light" concerning the "faithful and discreet slave" class being the governing body and just the governing body.
other "anointed ones" need not apply.
you've been summarily kicked to the curb.

Inquiry to my website: What to do about 16 yr old converting to JWs? I will send family JWN link
by AndersonsInfo ini received the following email today at my website, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.
please help this loving uncle with some advice:.
hello, i dont know if anyone can help me with this but i thought i would give it a shot.

Holy cow! Stop her...
My advice would be to mention that the lad is attempting to control her, which is a bad sign! Why should she convert for him? Why doesn't he leave for her? Start her thinking about the fact that she shouldn't be under his thumb.
If that fails purchase a copy of Crisis of Conscience, give the book to your neice and ask her to give it to him - making sure that she says he must read it. That's not a lot to ask is it?
Once the book has been passed out... things may well suddenly come to an abrupt halt once the parents of the lad get wind of it.
Otherwise...http://www.instanthitman.com/

Theists - Please Explain This.......
by AK - Jeff inand please don't do so with the standard "i don't know the answer - but there surely must be one.
" or some other lame attempt to defend god/bible without a real explanation.. here goes:.
i find it incredibly interesting how hard the mind works to prevent rational thought when it suits it's purpose.

I'd kind of agree with Larsinger58
I'm not sure of the exact time scales involved for the whole story, however it is possible new cattle were bought or birthed (although this might not be possible due to the time of year\timescale), between the two events in question.
If we are looking for 'gotchas' in the bible, I think there are more compelling ones than this. IMHO where a literalist feels they can defend an example of alleged inconsistency they will count that as a victory and it will reaffirm their beliefs.

If the media are saying "everythings good" a dub will say "look they're talking about peace and security the end is near". If the media saying "everything's bad" a dub will say "see, reports of wars, earthquakes etc... the end is near".
Like the dub numbers... if they go up they say "look how God is blessing his earthly org", if they go down... "well it does say the love of the greater number will wear off" (or at least something like that, I think).
It's full proof
