take a look at this.

it's hard to imagine that leader of the free world; mr. obama sat and listened to this lunatics teachings for 20 years.

what trustworthy person would listen and accept this blatent nonsense for 20 years?.

I will compare this to whatever makes sense and is relevant. (or in this case, what never makes sense)
First off, there is no religious test for the presidency. Ok? Stop it.
Additionally, average people who go to church in the Catholic tradition just celebrated the resurrection of a REAL PERSON WHO DIED FOR OUR SINS AND WENT TO HEAVEN. (according to them)
Oral Roberts once said that Jesus would call him to heaven unless his followers contributed several million dollars. No one called bullshit on anyone who fell for that. Would you like a list of Republicans who slopped at the Oral Roberts trough?
I am not defending Wright. I am calling out your limited ( and borderline prejudiced) view of what shapes our current president. Like you think where a person once went to church tells of the person you can become? Bullshit. You don't know me. Or many other people. But that's ok. You're right. Where a person goes to church does tell a lot about the person. Can't wait for the first atheist president. Would that be ok with you?

I wonder if any one ever gave the same amount of damn with the crap Oral Roberts said.
Get it?
Why are we so upset about the nutty black preacher, when those who regularly ingest nutty white ones, (who say the most inane bullshit), are the first to throw stones?

as a kid i got bullied a lot.

i was taller than all the kids in the class.

i wore funny clothes - usually hand-me-downs from somewhere or just plain ugly.

Good thread. My opinions are as follows....
My job in part involves collecting online reviews of our business. It never ceases to amaze me how "brave" people get behind a keyboard. The reason is, there is no accountability.
For the purposes of this JW forum I think that many/most of us are developing, esp if we have just left. To a certain degree, I think some combativeness should be expected. Being willing to be wrong is a part of growing. I appreciate being able to test out different ideas here through the years. And since disagreeing wasn't allowed, I think part of the value of this forum is the ability to argue, regardless of how well one does at it.
I do thinks that there is a big difference between arguing, venting, and bullying. Bullying begins when the ability to argue a point successfully ends.
Obviously, bullying someone is very different, and I think that anytime anyone tries to prop up a weak argument by ridiculing your opponent should be given a very short leash.

what happens to wts writers who write mistakes in printed pubs
by mP in
1. jw
2. friends
given that the printed word is forever and cannot be erased do the writers get into trouble for the embarassment they cause ?

every mistake results in someone today or tommorrow or nnext year and so on losing faith which is a disasyer for the org.

how do they hope to control these errors and prevent them from happening in the future.?

I think they become members of the Governing Body. If you screw up 2 or more prophecies, you get to be chairman of one of the committees. ;)
