How to win a religious argument
by Terry inone of the greatest chess players who ever lived was jose raul capablanca.. .
his was a natural talent from age 4. he became world chess champion and had an undefeated record for 9 years before high blood pressure began affecting his game.. capablanca's great technique in the end game was his greatest asset.
he only needed the smallest advantage to win by force.. consequently, the great cuban chessmaster would play simple temporizing moves provoking his opponent into over-reaching himself.. eventually, his opponent made an error.

APOSTATES-yes another thread about 6/15 WT
by darth frosty intalking to blackman about the article and was thinking...didn't the whole apostate thing first start getting recognition in the 70's?.
i seem to remeber a thread saying that apostates were a contrivence enforced in the 70's to combat the 1975 fiasco.. could someone research the amount of times apostacy is used before the 70's compared to how much they used or warned against it after the 70's..

As I look back I realized I was kinda spoiled. But 3 things I wanted and didn't get:
Millenial falcon-I wanted that ship so bad since I first laid eyes on it and lukes Bish arse said 'what a piece of junk.'
Scwinn stingray-Greatest bike EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted one ALL OF MY FRIENDS had one. My mother thought it was too small so I got a 10 speed instead. Worked out cause one of my friends who had a stingray liked my 10 speed, so when out of sight of our parents we would switch. A stingray was the only bike I could consistantly cat-walk.
Lightsabre-not a toy like the falcon, I WANTED A REAL FUGGIN LIGHTSABRE!

1909 Watchtower Article on Acts 15:28,29
by pirata ini was suprised to find that the 1909 watchtower had an understanding of the blood ruling that meshes more coherently with the circumstances (galatians 1,2; acts 21:20-32) surrounding that decision.
it acknowledges that these were not binding laws, but rather were made with a preservation of peace between hebrew and gentile christians.
it draws the parallel between blood and meat sacrificed to idols (1 corinthians 8).

It was not intimated that abstinence from these things would make them Christians. for nothing but faith in Christ and consecration to him’ and endeavor to walk in his steps could constitute them Christians. By these recommended abstentions they declared. “It will be well with you”: you will find these recommendations profitable to you as followers of the Lord. As a matter of fact, the Apostle Paul has pointed out most forcefully that “Love is the fulfilling of the Law,” because love for God would control the life as respects holiness, and love for our neighbor as respects earthly justice. ...Nevertheless, it was advisable that the Gentile Christians abstain from the use of their liberty in this direction, out of deference to the weaker brethren, Jews and Gentiles, who could not so deeply philosophize and whose consciences might be injured.
I tell ya russel may have been a kook in his own way, but it was rutherford who really ruined the religion.
Thanks for sharing.

July 15th Watchtower - article on Russian court cases
by stapler99 inapologies if a thread has been posted on this already but i didn't see anything.
in view of the other articles in the magazine, about apostasy and shunning, what they have to say about the treatment of jehovah's witnesses in russia takes on a new light and shows the contradiction in their positions.
some choice quotes:.

I love the fact they will have a whole 5 page article dedicated to them winning this case...and yet not a peep about them settling the child abuse case?!?

Good post SD7! Yan Bibiyan I really like your comparison. It reminds my of the example of when they take a WT article and place the pronouns in to read you me we our.
