Very Curious, what kind of feedback are you getting from ACTIVE Jehovah's Witnesses on Candace's California Court Victory ?

by Balaamsass in

i am stunned by candace's huge court victory.

it is overdue.

i have been reading comments on jvn, huffington, san jose mercury, nbc, and other sources.

Heehee, talking to one now, he's looking it up.

my wife asked me if i believe that christ came to power in 1914. sadly this question shows how little she knows even about her own religion as she knows the heart of my problems with the society start with the 607 bc debacle.

obviously no 607 means no 1914. alas....the conversation eventually morphed and it got to the point where i decided to ask her a point blank question.

what would it take to get you to realize that your religion is false?

Dagney

You cannot argue with faith. You can try reason, present facts in the hopes of a open minded exchange, but it will crash and burn with a believer. The eyes of the faithful only glowingly see what they want to see.

But we were all there once, and something clicked and all bets were off. Many on here have succeeded in bringing their mates out...so do not lose hope. There may be that one thing that resonates and will trigger a doubt or question.

Wishing you strength and all the best.

Again and again, thank you for all you do and have done. As I've mentioned before, your contribution in the Dateline program was it for me and the WBTS. I listened to almost the whole program last night and your insights are much appreciated.

I'd hate to be a JW going out in service with all the bad press they're getting right now.

I thought everybody would be talking about the DAteline program when it aired in 2001 and we'd have confrontations or such in FS, but nothing happened, no one said anything. I wonder if it is just news like other court cases in the same genre, say like for the Catholics.

Rodney King Dead at 47

they found him in the bottom of the swimming pool.

for those that are younger than me, king was beaten by police and it was caught on video.

it went to trial, and the officers were acquitted, which led to the race riots in la in 1992.. .

Whoa.

Candace Conti Asked for $1, 440.00 - Genius!

by cofty in

this was back in sept 2011. looks like she kept her sense of humour.

@ Ann: No kidding. I was wondering what the GB and the brothers think since Jah didn't give them the victory. Maybe they will delude themselves into thinking they will be sweetly victorious in appeal...anything before that is just an attack from Satan.

I'll drop you a catchup email this weekend. I got caught up reading the court documents, and got all fired up...should be asleep. After reading the words of the defense, it makes me sick. I think it made the judge and jury sick as well. I think the judge was disgusted with this seemingly harmless religion trying to wiggle out of their policy and claim the plaintiff didn't have evidence.

Going now. xx
