No, Jesus wouldn't have been DF'd for talking to Satan.
He would have lost his priveleges though :-D
if satan is the #1 apostate, and apostates are not to be talked to, why then did jesus even talk to him?.
why did jesus, if he is supposed to be our example, even talk to him?.
why doesn't the bible say "and satan tried to talk to jesus, and jesus ignored him.

jgnat: An example of circular reasoning is more like the statement - " Bob is faithful to his wife because he is not a cheater."

there are various people around the world pushing a nearly identical device into commercial development.
the above is one of them.. ecat.com is also offering a 1mw system for commercial development.. there are also us patents emerging such as the application 20130295512 a1 by george miley.. defkalion also demonstrated their version of this device live on the internet some months ago.. it isn't happening as fast as i would like but it is moving forward from multiple sources.
It will happen eventually Metatron :-)
watching the fertilization of an ovum and subsequent cell division it appears that the new being is making itself.
parents were involved, unskilled labor, time, energy.
no thing has ever been observed to make itself, to my knowledge.
The idea of something making itself is quite paradoxical.
But yes I believe you are correct, nothing in the observable universe comes from nothing, in that no energy or mass is ever created, only transformed.
how many of them do you think have secret accounts on this discussion board?
could it be just a couple of the younger ones or all of them or none of them or do they get others to read and post on the forum on thei behalf.
i saw in a news article that you can hire social media and internet agents to manage your online profiles on your behalf.
I think an important question to ask would be, "Do any of the Governing body have unfettered access to the internet and their own personal computers?" If so then I think there is a significant chance that some of the them have stumbled upon this site and possibly at least read some of the content.

the age newspaper | fairfax media | friday, march 15, 2013. jehovah's witnesses a 'cruel cult'.
http://www.theage.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html.
christian sect the jehovah's witnesses - with 64,000 active 'disciples' in australia - are a cruel religion with no soul, according to melbourne cultbuster raphael aron.. his warning comes as the federal government considers tightening the definition of a charity to prevent some cults and quasi-religions keeping their tax free status.
Very widely circulated; It's one of two most circulated newspapers in Victoria.
the watchtower bases their opposition to birthdays by two scriptures, saying something bad happened and god must have put it in there for a reason.
following their logic are there any other things jws shouldnt do because bad things happened in a couple of scriptures?.
Jgnat, You forgot pantyhose! :D
they mean the leadership.
all of this is code for: one who is not ready to really study and accept how the leadership of jehovah's witnesses use the bible to their own self serving means.
but to be fair, jw's teach that most all of these characters refer to the leadership of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body.
What a great thread, how the heck did I miss this first time around.
Hey Jeff, I'm glad you came out of the whole Gilead->Africa experience in one peice!.
i am scheduled to do it next month.. if you have completed the training:.
- what did you get out of it?.
- knowing what you know now (post completion) what would you tell others or have done differently to prepare?.
I've done the Landmark Forum and it was great. It undid all the years of JW brainwashing and gave me a whole new fresh perspective at life.
Like they tell you at the start of the forum, "None of it is true".
It's just a series of discussions and realizations that help equip you with techniques that allow you to remove a lot of the mental blocks that prevent you from reaching and defining new goals.
I definitely recomend it.
