I am doing the unthinkable and responding to my own thread.
I just could not bear the thought of starting yet another thread that gets a big fat NIL response.

The Possible Outcome of court cases
by outoftheorg insince reading the post about the molestation trials in texas, i have been pondering on the possible outcome of these cases.
it is clear that the wbts relies on the firewalls they have set up between the congregations and elders and the corporations.
it seems that the ones in jeopardy, are the congregations and especially the elders.

Here in the U.K. the congregations are registered as Charities (not for profit organisations) with the Elders as the Trustees. The Trustees are accountable in the circumstances being considered here and could be prosecuted in a Court of Law. They are able to take out insurance to cover all eventualities and liabilities - except those in which they are found guilty, in Court, of an illegal act.
Yes, this does raise interesting prospects for them.

I?m never going to get the hang of this Bible thingy. Can someone please explain how Genesis 1:30 tells you that all animals were vegetarian at one time? All the on-line Bibles that I have looked at say that God gave all green vegetation to every living thing as food. Nowhere can I find any reference to God forbidding the consumption of anything else.
Does this prohibition appear somewhere else in the Bible? What am I missing?

The issue here is not is it wrong for the Society to own airplanes, but is it wrong for senior members of the Society to use the amenities paid for and provided by the junior members, for their own R + R. For these senior people to make a scheduled stop at a place with only one or two inhabitants IMHO does not really sound as if it was a business trip.
For those of you who are comfortable with this explanation then so be it.When I was in the military, my C.O. would never have believed me if I had come up with such a story (particularly if I were holding my fishing gear ).

"In respect of the refusal of blood transfusion, the applicant association submits that while this is part of the religious doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses, its acceptance depends on the personal choice of the individual concerned. There are no religious sanctions for a Jehovah's Witness who chooses to accept blood transfusion. Therefore, the fact that the religious doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses is against blood transfusion cannot amount to a threat to "public health", every individual being free in his or her choice. "
Is forcible Dissassociation against someone?s wishes, not classed as a religious sanction?

First question: Why are JW's ridiculed so much?
by 2good2bad indo you ever wonder why jw's are the most ridiculed?
they are made fun of more than any other religion.
it makes me think about jesus and how he was persecuted and ridiculed for being righteous.

Remember how hard it was not to sing The Pledge of Allegiance, make a Valentine's Card in class, eat Christmas cookies, …….., drink, curse,
You think it’s quite good then to make up your own rules, praise yourself for sticking to them when nobody but you has them and then condemn others for not sticking to the rules that you have made up for yourself?

Hi and a question
by irishayes ini have been lurking for a few days and wanted to ask a question.
i stumbled on this website because i have an aquaintance who is a jw and i wanted to learn more about this religion.. first off, let me say that i am a christian.. my question is this: in reading a lot of posts, i see that many of you have left the religion because you believe the wbts has not been truthful in their interpretation of scriptures and because of their incorrect prophecies.
but it seems many of you still believe that they were correct in their belief that the trinity is totally a wrong teaching.

My own observation here over the past couple of years is that many, if not most, ex-JW’s who continue as Christians retain a lot of the Societies interpretation of the Bible. Not all retain the same bits of that interpretation but I would say that most do retain much of it.
