he finally got a bright idea.

Bill Bowen's Use of "Fake Precision"

by Psychdigg in

jw
friends

the fake precision fallacy involves making a claim with a mathematical precision that is impossible to obtain.. he does this on his site where he starts with an alleged and unsupported figure that the watchtower has a file of some 23,000 child molesters and runs that figure up to the point where it becomes absolutely absurd.

his purpose is to persuade readers that jehovah's witnesses are a hot bed of child molestation.

the problem is that he starts with at best very dubious sources and then he takes this data and treats it as if it is precise and factual.. it is not unusual for many of us to use a frivolous "false precision" in making statements.

Nah. Not too bothered about Starwars. Saw the last one and found it a bit ropey to be honest. I may see it if it gets good reviews. I'm looking forward to Spiderman though.

if i had enough energy and time left over from silentlambs, batteredlambs, rape resistance and the blood issues, i would get involved in the fight for justice for these people.

i cannot believe this video is legal.. and in any case, it certanly seems wrong.

i did a search on bill bowens postings in this forum.

very interesting.

revealing!.

Didn't they just do something in the UK where they have 10 days to produce the file if requested?

Yes. Basically for a fixed fee (£5-10 I think) you can get any information an organization has on you. This also includes CCTV footage. Mark Thomas even did a show on it. He got all the info that such orgs as MI5 etc had on him.

Mothers Day - is it celebrated?

by scammer68 in

can someone pls help.

is mothers day (& fathers day) celebrated by the jw's?

if it is not, can you provide a scriptural reason for the decision.

ignored_one

I also like the fact that the GB mention the fact that it's bad to celebrate birthdays because people were killed at them.

In that case we should ban driving by car, using public transport, eating, drinking, breathing because hey, someone must have died doing those things.

I've always found it weird that birthdays are a no-no but anniversarys are fine.

Aren't they the same thing?

Buying gifts and celebrating the 'life' of their marriage?

Thoughts?

Bill Bowen "Kidneys"

by HildaBingen in

jw
friends

as a mystical christian, i am just as distressed about child molestation as is mr bowen.

however i wonder about this man's motives.

why did he choose to handle his row with the witness organization in this way?

ignored_one

To everyone except the troll.

Please stop the feeding.

Hopefully he/she/it will disappear back to their tasks at Watchtower house once their lunchbreak is up.

The important thing is that the lambs are being heard not the way Bill Bowen has done things.

2 insane comments lately at the Kingdom Hall...

by TheApostleAK in

jw
friends

yes, i've been going to the meeting lately (only) to hear my da announcement (still hasn't been announced..been over a month) and pick up some mags (another story!

)(see "org crack down on..." post).

well heres two comments made by speakers from the platform that i noticed that sorta stuck out.. firstly, about a month ago this ms was doing a talk on proverbs in the tms and during the talk we had to look up 4 scriptures in a row from the bible and the ms said (the way i heard it he said it sarcastically) "it's great to be finally using the bible!".

At last weeks Book study I noticed something odd. About half-way through it mentions about getting rid of sin and death. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but neither scripture cited mentions sin, only death.

I wouldn't have seen it if I'd not be reading this board.

The Day of Armageddon In our life time

by U.2.K. in

jw
friends

do anybody else believe that the messiah will return in our life time?

cause we all know that "peace & safety" is the last sign.. and i already mention that it's on a very low scale, it's come but has'nt passed yet(when billions believe everything is safe)... .

i believe it will come in my life time, i'm only 20 years old and i damn sure aint going to die... luke- 21-36 < is the way that you can survive up to the day of christ day....what y'all think?

I wonder what the current odds are on being killed by an Armageddon.

Probably about the same as seeing the Loch Ness Monster and Elvis in my local McDonalds.

let me see if i got this right.. jduds sell literature for 85 years, and collect the profits tax-free.. billy graham (?

) and his cronies get their nuts in a vise over the same issue, and end up being the defendents in a tax evasion case.

(am i remembering the details?

Hi,

I vaguely remember when this was announced at my kingdumb hall over here in the UK. I was probably in my early teens and I don't recall them mentioning the real reason for the change. I just remember a lot of guff about becoming a charity or something. I did find this a little odd but thought no more about it. Funny how you find out the real reason for things years later.
