  yoyo says:.

  i wanted to prove to myself that what the watchtower says about apostates is true.. now what a refreshing idea!

  Who is Lyndon Larouche?

  in a discussion about the looming end of this system as propagated by some poster here, larc said:.

  i think most economists don't even bother, because larouch is so far off from reality, a true fringe player.

  there are many critiques of larouch's politics, which are interesting reading.. to be honest i had never heard from this guy before.

  the great fable of the litany .

  we have been told for a long time the story of the litany, that doomsday is nigh.

  lester brown and an entire army of environmental organizations, pundits and politicians have warned us of the impending debacle.

  What would it take?

  by cynicus in

  1. jw

  in view of the jw reactions on items such as the ngo thing, harbouring child molesters, it made me wonder about what it would take for the average jw to really grasp that the gb, the org and lots of its doctrine is not what it claims to be.. personally i've experienced that after a longwinded argument with an elder about the validity of the 1914 doctrine, he eventually agreed that it wasn't as solid as he thought and that it could be incorrect.

  did he see the light (or its absence)?

  interestingly enough, he immediately added that even if all this were true/untrue, it would not invalidate his loyalty to the org & gb.
