How To Win A Debate Without Really Thinking
by AllTimeJeff inthis isn't as bad as it seems.... (in other words, i am not trying to piss anyone off....).
i am reminded when i see john boehner, or pelosi, who spend over half their time defining the opposition, of the fact that many debates here and in our personal lives (work, family, etc) are fought with the same tactic.. define the other side.. never mind that your way is better.
it seems to me that we aren't drawn into a discussion/debate because of a positive thought or direction.

70 years = 607?
by allelsefails in70 years of captivity?.
i myself have always believed that when archaeology disagreed with the bible the bible must be right.
that is how i dismissed the idea that jerusalem was destroyed in 586/587 bce.

Jehovah Knows in Advance His People Will Fail - July 1 09 WT
by Hopscotch inin this public edition of the watchtower it uses an illustration of a piece of furniture to help explain why jehovah tolerated polygamy.. but the more interesting point i thought was the reasoning in the first paragraph in the second column about jehovah warning his people when they strayed from his standards.
it says "however, he knew in advance that his people would often fail to obey even the most basic of commands, such as the one against idolatry.
(exodus 32:9).

The Brain of a Jehovah's Witness
by minimus ini have to wonder what actually is in their heads,.
i called a former elder who i like and who lives close to my mother and asked him to do me a favor.
her phone was off the hook for the entire day and i got worried that maybe she fell or something.

Tell us about the offbeat people you have had in your congregation
by BonaFide inwe had a brother once in my sisters' hall who would preach downtown with old watchtowers and awakes, i mean like 15 year old magazines, and he would sell them above cost.
even after the donation system went info effect, he would still sell them.
the elders tried to talk to him about it, but he could never really have a normal conversation.
