The right to not be exposed to ideas I don’t like or agree with?
by EdenOne inok, i would like to submit to the forum the following question: in abstract, do you think that there is a right to not being exposed to ideas that you don’t like or disagree with?
please think it through and its implications on both ends of the spectrum.. it’s not the right to conscientious objection to do something you vehemently disagree with; it’s not about the liberty to chose which ideas you want to embrace or advocate.
it’s something different.. given that, as exjws, we understand the importance of being exposed to different opinions in order to form our own opinion, should someone claim the right not to be exposed to opinions or ideas that they don’t like?

Of course you have a right to refuse to hear or see anything you disagree with. In my book you have a complete freedom to stick your head up your ass and leave it there forever.

They should call it "Cliche."
And of course the cops are all going to side with Karen, because they have nothing else to do.

Go Bag and Catastrophes
by StephaneLaliberte ini live with my parents in law and yesterday, my mother in-law was very nervous about an email she got from the brothers in her congregation.
it was asking if she would be able to receive people over at our house should there be a catastrophe.
so, she asked me if i would agree with this.

I wonder why they didn't promote go bags in 1975? Weren't those Witnesses just as important as those today? What changed?
I became a JW (at age 22) in 1973. With oil shortages, wars etc lots of people were preparing for trouble. We all knew Mormons were supposed to have 7 years of food. But we all congratulated ourselves for being so much more faithful. We didn't need to get ready because when the time came, Jehovah would protect us.
From my standpoint, I'd say what changed is they lost faith - in the GB, the elders, the magazines, each other, and themselves.

Great Teacher I will take a look tomorrow. I'm working with a website designer, who has been fantastic on the layout and graphics. Not the first time I caught a spelling problem. I will look at the setup from my cell phone, not the desktop.

Boring.
I had to invent my own religion for a novel I'm working on because nobody would waste their time reading a book about what JW's actually do.

Enjoy.

What Is Truth?
by minimus injust because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.
religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.
politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

Truth stays the same, whether you believe it or not.

If get what you’re saying but by that logic, if someone took a photo or video of my 1980 Chevette and posted it online, I’d still own it and it would have the same value or possibly more if so if someone saw it and just had to have it at any price.
That picture belongs to whoever took it. The copyrights belong to the photographer and were created as soon as he took it. There maybe privacy issues, depending on where he took the picture, but that is a separate area of law. Whether or not you gained or lost money is irrelevant to who owns the copyright and what they can do with it.
An aside to everybody on discussions like this: neither the WTBS nor the legal system is required to think and act logically.
