That video is a setup. Dawkins describes what happened at http://www.skeptics.com.au/articles/dawkins.htm
That bastion of all that is "true" answersingenesis still promotes that particular "truth"

I'm glad I shared this. It really hit me because of stuff going on with me right now but it does seem to fit with what most of us have experienced. I'm sending it to some friends too. You never know what will stay with people.

I think another high point in the audio version - again with the accent, you'll have to imagine it if you haven't heard it - is when he discusses agnosticism/atheism with reference to Bertrand Russell's teapot analogy.
He says something along the lines of: We cannot prove that there is not a teapot in between the orbits of earth and mars so strictly speaking we should all be agnostic with regard to teapots. In practice though we are all A-teapotists.
A-teapotists - in that accent, priceless.
Do you know, threads like this just aren't the same without brother apostate dumping 10 pages of cut and paste in somewhere

I hate to break up a good argument by going back to the original topic . . .
The God Delusion on MP3 is great. Hearing Dawkins in his soft, middle class English accent say "touched by his noodly appendage" is priceless.

i know i am an old fart and a pedant,but things spelled incorrectly stand out, like copy of c.o.c in a kingdom hall library.. i don't think it matters too much say,posting on here,or in life generally,so many people make mistakes,but i do think it detracts from your credibility and your message in important stuff i.e a d.a letter for example,any excuse and dub's will ignore what you say.. so,is it not worth checking?
one word that many on here have a problem with is apostasy,often putting a c where the last s should be.. is having a problem with this word a true example of irony?.
love.
Would you like to see my photo's?
Sometimes apostrophes stand in for missing letters. Could it be that the apostrophe above stands in for the missing "graph"?
Otherwise, right on!

civil rights lawsuit hits 6 oregon watchtower elders.
after xxxxxx sent a link off of justia.com, i found more information on this lawsuit filed december 3, 2008 in federal court in oregon.
There's no action on this thread right now, but I am thinking about it quite a bit.
How about this for a scenario: A JW hospital employee knows that the plaintiff accepted a transfusion. The employee tells the elders and the plaintiff gets DF/DA. The plaintiff is suing the hospital for breaking confidentiality and the elders for the DF/DA.
I remember reading a WT article somewhere where you were practically encouraged to break the law and inform the elders in this exact circumstance.
Anyone?
a friend is being hassled by a body of elders to go to a judicial committee.
i have advised against going but if they go ahead.... the question is are you entitled to have a representative of your own at a judicial committee?.
a second, not quite so urgent, question is: does anyone know where to get a copy of coc in spanish.. thanks.
Thanks for the replies. I didn't think there was much hope of representation. I am right in saying that they must give you notice of date and reason for meeting in writing if you request it aren't I?
On CoC - commentary press say they are sold out. Can't find CoC in spanish on amazon. Anywhere else to try?
