Hey DOT, thanks for posting this. I'll have to read it later but just my 2 cents worth on the topic... I watched my Mom lose her individuality and become chronically ill in large part due to this ideology.

My sister denounced the two elders
by opusdei1972 inyesterday my sister presented, against the two stalker elders, a complaint before the district prosecutor.
the prosecutor said to my sister that in the country there are freedom of religion, so it is totally illegal to accuse a person loudly in the street before her neighbors , and to insist for going to a illegal judicial questioning.
she even showed to the prosecutor a past notification in which she asked to the elders a written document specifying the charge of apostasy so as to attend the judiciary meeting with her attorney.

I say No, because there are many people already living their lives this way today. They aren't out committing crimes but actually living - working, shopping, preparing dinner, raising their children, enjoying hobbies, etc. -

Christians Know Who God Is
by Loi_241 inmany of us christians have a good question for you to ask, “who is god?” there are more than six scriptures to share with you.
you know the bible itself a true message for all the people on earth.
the bible explains ‘in the beginning god created everything: heaven, earth, animals, people and everything.’ thus, you notice god created humans, adam and eve.

The original 'bible' doesn't exist. All we have now are translations. -

Athanasius said: I found it interesting that the leaflet said it was printed in Canada. But this experience took place in Santa Rosa, California, USA. Is Canada doing the bulk of JW printing now?
Yes, it was a few years back... some, if not all, of the U.S. printing moved to Canada.

Cofty said: I did suggest to John that he should check out "Why Evolution is True" by Jerry Coyne. Of all the basic books on evolution it is perhaps the easiest to grasp.
Oh, excellent, Cofty. I am glad you gave him somewhere to start. I like that you have a strategy to focus on more easier evolutionary concepts to grasp. Making it relatable is a great idea. Again, so well done.

If she wants to ensure her space is raccoon proof, she should move to the Arctic.
