Could this strategy be used in other nations around the earth ? With any success?
What would be the pros and cons of employing such a strategy ?
I find this an interesting concept for a couple of reasons.
1. Here in Australia we seem to be going down the path of having one set of laws for mainstream Australians and another set of laws for indigenous Australians .
2. Also australia seems to be going down the path of giving into the Muslim community allowing them to practice Sharia law in their community .
All in the name of political correctness gone mad.
And the Jehovahs Witnesses being allowed to have their own Judicial Committees meting out punishment to their members outside of the law.
Just asking for your comments.

the future for the borg
by pepperheart init look very possible that the borg could lose their charity status in both the uk and oz if this happens the jw will not have all the tax breaks for the buildings that they have now.and that the headquarters will have to start finding extra money.and as they have done so much cost cutting anyway these past years i think they will have to start selling kingdom halls off.

Would you trust your Doctor if he got things wrong??
by stuckinarut2 injust thinking..... assume we had a family doctor that we had seen all our lives, perhaps he had been the doctor for your extended family too.
he is lovely man, very kind and honest hearted.. but if he had prescribed treatment or medication that was wrong, and had bad effects on you, then changed the medication to something else, then randomly changed it again etc, how would you feel?.
if you did some research into him, and found disturbing facts and things in his history that made you question his qualifications, how would you feel?

I do not believe in an Almighty GOD of the Bible who intervenes in human affairs or any other GOD that is known to humans on this earth .
So in that sense I`m happy to define myself as an atheist .
However I do not dismiss the possibility that their are other life forms spiritual or otherwise in this universe .

My Son's Science Project "What Causes Leukemia"
by azor ini'm putting the below information on this forum first to get your input.
so my 9 year old leukemia survivor wants to do his science project searching for the cause of leukemia in children.
the data required to put together a semblance of a cause is vast to put it lightly.

It sounds like a great project for your son and you to embark on I wish you both success in doing this.
Many years ago my 14 year old nephew died from Leukemia and as a good faithful JW I tried to comfort my SIL with the resurrection hope .
It didnt go too well ,and thakfully we are in a good place these days.
I`m sorry I dont have any info to convey to you other than good luck.

2 words for truth in Russian, for wt writers too?
by prologos inny times article: "--- 2 words for truth in russian,--" pravda, the malleable truth, and istina, the unchangeable cosmic reality.
it looks like wt writers like that, or think like that.
wt is constantly changing the surface truth, but can not change the underlying reality, no matter how many groups they overlap.

How long until some of the Biblical apocrypha will be inserted into the WT teachings?
by nonjwspouse ini have read through some of these, though not in complete, but enough to see some of these writings could fit into the wt views, such as arian beliefs of jesus.
it would also help separate themselves quite a bit from "christiandom" and their bible.
the "new light" of books not accepted in the canon.

As Phizzy says the JW/WT religion has accepted the Bible canon that Apostate religion namely Christendoms ,Catholic and Protestant Churches have agreed to , as to what constitutes the Bible Canon with the Catholic Church identifying the books of the Apocrypha .
Years ago in the book" Equipped for Every Good Work" which dealt with all the books of the Bible it did praise the book of Maccabees both 1 & 2 as being valuable for an insight into jewish history / culture ,if I remember it right.
It always puzzeled me why the JW`s went along with Apostate Christendoms definition of what constituted the Bible Canon.
But then again thats not unanimous either is it ? Russian Orthodox Church ,Polish National Catholics ,Eastern Orthodox Church ,Roman Catholic Church ,Protestant Churches The Greek Orthodox Church ,,and I`m sure their are a few others I have missed.
