  Freakonomics and the drop in the crime rate

  by Damocles in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we recently watched the movie 'freakonomics' based on the book of the same name and it posited some pretty scandalous ideas among the less so.

  on the less scandalous side, name choice has little to do with success except that a mother who names you some wierd thing has other problems that surely will affect you.

  its not the name its the parents who would give you such a name.. on the provocative side, they note that the slide in crime rate across the country corresponds with the time period that abortion has been legal.

  Contribution of Franz books on your decision to leave?

  by Damocles in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the recent resurrected topic on franz' books got me curious.. how much did his writing contribute to your decision to leave?.

  for myself, it was another brick in the wall but not more important than any other.

  i was a little different than most in that i regularly read anti-witness stuff from the very beginning and never stopped.

  Possible reason for book study change?

  by Damocles in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in my experience, you can't go too far wrong in ascribing gb actions as responses to three stimuli: precedent, money, law.

  if two are involved, like the tax implications of selling literature, the ws move swiftly and decisively irrespective of precedent.

  the book study change makes little sense.
