  I think they also shatter the illusion that the elders act "out of love" in such cases where "apostasy" is the accused thought-crime.

  JWs on Wikipedia have tried to bury any use of the recordings and transcripts of the judicial committee meetings - and subsequent appeal - in the case of Matthew Barrie (hobotalk) from the Wikipedia entry on discipline within the Watch Tower Society .

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses_and_congregational_discipline

  I've had a submission to my blog of all of the audio and transcripts of the case, along with a study in the ethics involved in such cases.

  Thus far the blog ranks highly in Google searches "jehovah's witness judicial hearing" and derivetives.

  Let's share this content as widely as possible so that the apologists won't be able to bury the evidence of how judicial committees work.

  A few Dawkins quotes to think about.

  by AK - Jeff in

  "faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence.

  faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.".

  "my last vestige of "hands off religion" respect disappeared in the smoke and choking dust of september 11th 2001, followed by the "national day of prayer," when prelates and pastors did their tremulous martin luther king impersonations and urged people of mutually incompatible faiths to hold hands, united in homage to the very force that caused the problem in the first place.".

  and it is chaos, pain, terror - not love.

  Wow. What was the reductionist's statement about atheists being cheerier than the death cultists?

  And why would your comment following that one have any place in this discussion?

  Could it be called "having an opinion"?
