Letters to Congregations and Elders

by Mad Sweeney in

several years ago i was given a link to a pdf download of a compilation file that included all letters from the borg to elders and congregations from - i think - 1980 through 2011. does anybody have an updated version, or can point me to a source for letters from 2012 to the present?

i would prefer a single document but even a site that has them all one by one would be ok. thanks!

Labeling one self "Atheist" is Unscientific

by LAWHFol in

i have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.

i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.

"atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

Mad Sweeney

Most of the sharper atheists I know don't "believe in" anything. There are things we have relatively strong certainty about and things we are unsure about. The things with strong certainty are things we are said to "know" and the things we're unsure about are things we are happy to admit we "don't know."

When things are imagined, we view them as not literally existing. When people imagine a thing and then pose the hypothesis that that thing exists in the tangible world it is not incumbent upon others to either believe or prove the thing doesn't exist. Nor is it inappropriate for others to assert, "No, that thing doesn't exist."

This doesn't pose a problem or a conflict because we allow things we "don't know" and have previously asserted don't exist to become things we "know" are real when evidence comes along to build certainty in it. As for god/gods/God/ghosts/souls/sasquatch/chupacabra/sharknados/etc. we're simply waiting for evidence and in the meantime we can appropriately say, "No, those things do not exist."

It's significant that she's worldly, a Catholic, and a woman. If she was a JW she wouldn't be allowed to even touch the book to put a spiral binding on it, not even with the elder present. Is this a misogynistic cult or what?

Dr Monica Applewhite!

by username in

i'm just listening to this so called doctors testimony.

where did the watchtower dig her up from.

her answers have mostly been maybe's and i think!.

Mad Sweeney

About the Watchtower's expert witness Doctor Monica Applewhite and her report. This is a woman. A worldly woman. A Catholic woman. The Borg entrusted her with their Shepherd the Flock of God book, secret/confidential letters to elders and Branch offices, and tons of other documentation, and then entrusted her to speak on their behalf in front of a Royal Commission.

If she was a Jehovah's Witness woman she would never be allowed to see any of those things, nor speak publicly as a representative of the Watchtower or Jehovah's Witnesses. A JW "sister" isn't even allowed to touch the book to put a spiral binding on it.

I'm starting to think this might be a cult.

anyone know who this monty baker is?

i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

Mad Sweeney

"Does everyone realize that RC investigation is the only truly "historic" event that involves the WTBTS, and that its happening in our lifetime?"

Absolutely! It makes their interpretation of district convention talks as fulfillment of Bible prophecies seem more lame than ever. Trumpet blasts, my ass.
