  My wife and I have just watched both episodes. Brilliant documentary.

  1,300 cases filed against the Watchtower in NY state so far this year - and it's only February.

  How Many Here Remember Hearing Details from the Platform on Why a Person was Reproved or DF'd ???

  i just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.

  at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.

  the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.

  I remember an elder's son who was married with children. He faithfully attended every meeting for 6 months, got reinstated and was never seen at the kingdom hall again.

  I doubt if the elder cared now that he had his grandchildren back.

  Has the client-penitent privilege clause been tested in SCOTUS or only at state supreme court level?

  "I'm As Mad as Hell - and I'm not going to take it anymore" (First Principles)

  by Terry in

  two things we all need to know; may already know; have known for a long long time - but nothing at all has changed .... first principles.

  these are assumptions that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption.. .

  (what the hell does that mean?).

  Me - 'Since you have contempt for democracy, how do we get to this state that you call 'how things ought to be', and what would that state look like?'

  Terry - 'Wrong. I have contempt for CORRUPTION of Democracy ... I think you are disingenuously misreading because I've been excruciatingly clear.'

  <sarcasm>Well I can't imagine where that misunderstanding came from</sarcasm>

  • As far as secular politics and democratic elections, I don't see them as "real" but only a sop to masses
  • DEMOCRACY: Two wolves and a sheep voting on 'what's for lunch'
  • THE VERY BEST THING a Western Democracy can hope for is a slow rot into corruption by the Oligarchy.
