your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.
k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.
in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.
I usually go to the financial and legal threads first when I read here. This thread caught my eye, so I've been following it for a while. I wanted to see what arguments would be used, on both sides.
I'd follow it more easily if the thread flowed a bit better.
i'm hoping for help in finding a starting point, somewhere to direct my husband.
i brought up a little bit about the arc spoken of so widely here on the forum.
i just gave him a bit of a hint a few days ago, and he wanted to hear nothing of it - the old you can't believe everything you read.
Just a side point - JW are not the only organisation being investigated. Other churches are being investigated, too. One of them is the Catholic church. So if a JW accepts the investigation into the Catholic church as being true, then they would have to consider the investigation of the JW organisation in the same light. The same legal team is responsible for investigating all churches.
I say this because your husband might raise the objection that the JW are being singled out. That is not the case.
....it would not be scared of critics.
actually they would naturally take an offensive stance, wouldn't they?
they would welcome debate... even encourage it.
I was criticised for watching the Dateline program about WT child abuse and the two witness rule. I was told that this was "apostate lies." Years later, Geoffrey Jackson tells the ARC the same thing about the two witness rule. Yet he is supposed to be a member of the GB.
with all of the bat-shit crazy propaganda of late, i'm considering talking to my wife about the cult.
we have had zero religious discussions for two years.
the last discussion ended with ,"you have no beliefs, no personal beliefs, because you change your "beliefs" when the wtbts writes an article.
DataDog, You're a good dad. Your daughter will remember your message.
i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.
they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.
but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.
This sounds almost like the GB is going to make a call out to all Borg worshippers to hand over their assets to the Borg, selling property, cars, life insurance, etc
Anyone else has got this feeling?
The sheeple are being told to be loyal no matter what even if instructions may not seem reasonable from a human standpoint!?? - Gefangene
Yep
howdy guys!
this is our latest video on the jw broadcast in short form.
we talk about jw marriage challenges.
Don't agree with the name calling and criticism levelled at Christian and Katja.
If I need a dose of judgmentalism or pettiness, I can get that at the hall.
I like watching their videos and hope that they continue to make more. It's more interesting listening to them rather then having to listen to a GB member drone on.
i did not realize that they were symptoms that something was wrong with my cat -but i did notice that my cat was breathing a little differently for a period of about a few days.
i also noticed prior and after to that, that on occasion, my cat would cry at the litter box, but that was a very seldom event.. anyway, about a week ago i noticed the symptom that my very loved cat was breathing heavy.
so i called a taxi and i was going to rush him to emergency room for cats.
i've been thinking this for a while.
even before the arc scandal.
it seems no matter what, the org.
At the end of the public hearings (for the WT) during the ARC, Justice Peter McClellan said that the WT had two and a half years to amend its policy on child sexual abuse.
By the end of two and a half years, its policies must meet best practice standards.
Jehovah's Witnesses were banned in Australia in the 1940's. What prevents the Australian Government from doing that again?
I'm sure that the ARC will bring about justice too.

Angus Stewart said that it is a prosecutable offence to conceal a pedophile.
Sounds like serious business to me.
this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.
however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.
feel free to claim credit here.
Oh my giddy aunt!!!!! I saw this when it first came out. Can't believe they're still showing it.
They're out of touch with reality.
