My sister was invited to a Judicial Committee
by opusdei1972 intoday i called to my sister and she told me that two elders went to her house to announce her that a judicial committe is waiting her in the kingdom hall this friday.
she told them that she will confirm if she will go.
however, i have told her that she shouldn't go, instead she should ask them to write a formal letter, with signatures, asking her for which charges she should be submitted in a private room with two men (or three?

How do flood apologists explain these?
by marmot inspear points dating to thousands of years before the flood (or even adam's alleged creation, for that matter) found preserved in situ among mammoth bones in naco, arizona.. or the 14,000 year-old footprint of a child at a mammoth hunting camp unearthed in a bog in monte verde, chile:.
the kicker is that this isn't even the oldest evidence for human settlement of the americas.
since the wt loves to trot out frozen mammoth carcasses as "proof" that mammoths died in the flood, who were these mammoth eaters in north america?

Conti Appeal Preview - Oral Argument Jan 14
by Chaserious inwith hopefully a good deal of interest here in the conti appeal tomorrow (or later today, depending on where you are), i thought that on my ride home from work tonight i'd preview what to expect and what i think the key issues are for any who are interested.
i have had a busy few weeks and haven't had time to read everything, but i had some time to look at the appeal briefs during my work commute the past couple days.
it'll be interesting to see what develops out of the network news coverage of this case.

I don't see this as about reporting crimes to anybody. If the elders know that some one is a pedophile, they have a moral duty to protect the congregation. This doesn't require that the pedo be arrested, it does require that all the elder understand that one of them has to work with Brother Pedo and sit in on his bible studies etc. In other words, he can't be left alone with anybody. -

Awesome movie: "THE GIVER". This is a MUST WATCH for witnesses and those breaking free from the WT!!!
by stuckinarut2 inyou have to watch the movie "the giver"!
it is simply an awesome movie for every thinking witness, or those trying to break free from the org's hold on us.. i wont give away too much, but the concept of the film is mind blowing!
utopia vs reality etc... conformity vs individuality and humanity... etc.

I was in the house with her for all of the last week of her life. She went quietly and peacefully and had people that cared a lot for her around at the end. She and Dad touched a lot of lives in very positive ways. Not the least of which was the fact that she made sure I was still part of the family even after I joined a religious cult.
Here are two articles, last time I did this some people had trouble linking The Hutch website so I put up a news article too.

What do you think of a Movie about New World
by paradisebeauty init looks like the movies about end of the days and the fantasy movies are very much in fashion.
do you think a movie about the end of the system and the life in the new system could captivate the audiences?.
after all more than 90 % of americans are christians and say they believe in the bible.

I saw some of this on another board. If you divide the hours by the number of baptisms, it takes 7,000 hour to reach one baptism. If you take the amount of the actual increase (which is about 100,000 less than the number of baptisms) it takes 11,000 hours to get one more publisher. This has to be about the most inefficient human activity ever. And that does not account for the fact that a good number of their baptisms are the children of witnesses.
