OK reniaa:
Now you have your proof that the WT is right so what's the point.
I think they know they're wrong and they know what people will do once they realize that the WT is wrong
Know thine enemy.
just because one has enemies doesn't mean they are good.

by IWillBeDubbedNoMore inthe definition of an apostate is one who has abandoned his religious faith.
i was baptized in 1974. the religion i joined believed that jesus selected the bible students in 1919 to do a separating work.
we had to preach to find the sheep like ones.

The place Obama's in is very similar to all of us faders. When we talk to bORG members, we have to calibrate our words so as not to incite a malestrom of judgements and accusations.
Let's see, if George Bush had said that how would he have re-calibrated?
First, somebody would have had to explain to him what re-calibrate is then he would probably say "well, if he hadn't done something stupid I wouldn't have said that"
I think It was stupid for the cop to arrest him. What was the point, he wasn't putting anyone in danger, the cop knew by that time he was in his own house, what was the real reason the cop arrested him?
It was because Gates showed him disrespect so the old catch all law of disorderly conduct was put into use. It's the same law that makes us cower before a police officer during a traffic stop or in any other situation where we may be confronted by the police without doing anything wrong. If we argue with the person, we can get arrested for disorderly conduct. Obviously the charge was trumped because the city refused to prosecute it knowing they wouldn't have a chance of making it stick. It was a stupid arrest and the city of Cambridge admitted it by not pressing charges
Let's face facts, whenever a cop get's his feelings hurt by someone spouting smart ass remarks they can us the disorderly conduct law and hassle that person.

What is the mission of those on this board?
by The Berean inventing, closure, confession, social networking, advocating a new direction, building a case to leave the borg, kicking a dead horse, assisting the abused, warning the public, cursing god and religion, justifying actions, filling time, belonging to something, education, identifying mental disorders, condemning hypocracy, highlighting errors of the past, making fun of other people, self pity, hope for recovery???.
as a newby, i can't tell ....

My main reason is venting. Other then my wife, communication about what I experienced is virtually nil so talking to others who have experienced the same things is therapy for me.
In the process I would also like to be exposing the Watchtower for what it really is and I hope that those lurking on this and other sites will read this information and open their minds up to independent thinking.
When I was assimilated into the bORG in the late 70's there was no information other then the bORG's own to call on so I'm am grateful that others now hare this avenue to research.

If there was no global flood - does this mean that the Bible is not inspired?
by Olin Moyles Ghost indo you agree that if there was no global flood, then the bible is not inspired?
here are my thoughts.. it is pretty obvious that there was no global flood 4,000 years ago.
) that there were one or more large local floods in mesopotamia around the time of noah.

Who knows whether or not the Bible was inspired. The Bible is the only reference to the Bible being inspired.

Is punishing someone for changing their religion against international law
by ldrnomo ini saw this on wikipedia:.
the united nations commission on human rights, considers the recanting of a person's religion a human right legally protected by the international covenant on civil and political rights: "the committee observes that the freedom to 'have or to adopt' a religion or belief necessarily entails the freedom to choose a religion or belief, including the right to replace one's current religion or belief with another or to adopt atheistic views [...] article 18.2 bars coercion that would impair the right to have or adopt a religion or belief, including the use of threat of physical force or penal sanctions to compel believers or non-believers to adhere to their religious beliefs and congregations, to recant their religion or belief or to convert."[5].
seems to me that being shunned by family and friends for quitting jehovah's witnesses would be penal sanctions.. .
