as an elder you are in a unique position to play dumb and say that's odd. And when she says what? Get the letter and just read it. Lead her along. We can't do that. There are many incriminating things in elders letters that most of us can't share.

If They Stopped Shunning Tomorrow?
by cofty inimagine that the cult decided to stop shunning family members on the proviso that the dfd person was not actively trying to attack the cult.. (please don't debate whether or not this is likely - it's hypothetical).
how would you respond to your family?.
personally i think i would be less than cooperative.

I'd be just the same. They would have to change -

I asked where is the proof?
by disillusioned 2 inarguing with my husband again, i asked where is the proof that jesus looked down on earth in 1919 and chose a small group of bible students in america apart from them saying it in their magazines.
also where is the proof that satan and his demons were cast down in 1914 just because first world war started.
neither of these things are in the bible only in their magazines.

They'll submit pseudo proof that when you are in you say "we'll I guess that makes enough sense not to question anymore" when you are mentally fee you can see there is zero proof of anything. Believing in god and the bible is backed into then maintained via circular reasoning. Constantly proving 2+2=5... -

Rumor about the Imitate Jesus Convention
by FusionTheism ini saw a rumor a few weeks ago on reddit that the new imitate jesus convention is supposed to present new light and clarified understandings on the disfellowshipping/disassociation practices.. supposedly, if this rumor has any truth to it, there will be a talk given at the convention about how we should not be strict like the pharisees in how we shun people, loosening up some of the jw rules about this practice.. has anyone here heard anything about this or have more info on it?.

Dfing=control
haven't they lost enough of control as of late? This I see as the last vestige of control they'd ever let go of.

What Do Creationists do in their Laboratories?
by cofty inwell they actually do cutting-edge research and publish peer-reviewed papers (well, reviewed by other creationists actually).
here is a recent example by "dr" danny faulkner on whether the flood lasted for 371 or 365 days..... you will always remember where you were when you first heard of this leap in human knowledge.. spoiler alert - he concludes it doesn't matter either way.
the nobel prize committee have been alerted!.

The Power Of "IF"
by dubstepped inso, the whole may money grab episode of jwtv really looks bad to me and many others, obviously many here.
i was looking on another website dedicated to active jw's and if you'll notice on post number 109 a little ways down (<click there to read) a person named luca dares to express some concerns over the latest episode.
the following pages do contain one more person that has some issue with how things were presented.

Spectre, whenever someone answers a flood problem with some grand miracle, I like to respond with isn't it more logical to say god could have used such power to just snap his fingers and remove the wicked without destroying anything else, plants, animals, etc. It's funny no? -

I hate to be an ass but the hydroplate theory is absolutely idiotic, if the question is, is it possible to have underground water sources the answer is yes, when the question is "did and underground water source cause THE F%$#ING FLOOD OF NOAHS DAY BY YHWH"S HAND," then you are stupid. Brown's hypothesis is based on if the great flood was real (first) could this have been where the water came from (secondary)? Really its mixing science and eisegesis and a waste of time. Really i don't give a rats ass how much oxygen you wasted with Brown, it doesn't make Noah's flood a reality, its a fantasy and not a very good one. Of all the things wrong with the bible it might be the very WORST in showing how sheep herders wrote your book, how they made god look dumb, regretful, and violent.
