  Yep. He demeans Irish, gays and his wife all at once.

  The sad thing is that 6 years ago I would have laughed at this too

  Passive aggressive circuit overseer talk

  i went and listened to the circuit overseer talk last night.

  he started off by saying how many jws are in prisons in other countries and how we need to be prepared for when we are persecuted by the governments because it will happen "soon".

  near the end of the talk he got into how our own minds often imagine the very worst case scenario and that this isn't good.

  There's got to be some term for this: one who creates a bad situation, then offers to "fix" it. I don't know what it is, but WT is very good at it.

  WTF? He started off the talk to get us to imagine the worst case then ended it by saying not to.

  I really should record this stuff it's unbelievable.

  The basic message is that if you marry someone that is not baptized your marriage will be miserable and fall apart but if you marry an elder/pioneer you will be happy and successful.

  raymond franz it seems had limited resources yet he was able to provide crisis of conscience in printed form to what?

  thousands?

  Just start printing it off the PDF files and selling it on line. If someone owns the rights they will come forward. Who are the legal heirs to Ray and Cynthia's estate? They would probably be the owners of his books. If there is no legal heir then the government owns the rights.

  This elder is just plain unqualified to deal with this situation. To ignore a suicidal person and not get the health care system involved?

  the problem in the Jehovah's Witness religion is the reward system. This elder is rewarded for counting his time knocking on doors of empty houses instead if really helping a distressed member of the congregation.

  The problem with reinstatement is that it is applied so inconsistently. We had a disfellowshipped sister in our hall for years. She was living a clean life and was married to the non jw she had lived with years before. A new co came to visit, had a five minute meeting with her in the back room and the next week she was reinstated.

  how many times have elders read their bible in its entirety?

  these are the leaders that give counsel to married couples, to teenagers, to single girls and single boys on everything from marriage, education, sex, association, dress, and recreation..

  how well do they know their bible?

  Creationist Discovers 60 million Year Old Fish Fossils - Insists that they date to Noah's Flood 4500 years ago

  by OrphanCrow in

  2. current

  it is astounding that someone like this creationist can have no appreciation for the scientific significance of his discovery.

  even in the face of evidence to the contrary, those who chose to believe rather than know will never forsake their ignorance.. alberta creationist discovers rare fish fossils in basement dig (full article and video).

  "an alberta man who discovered a school of rare fossilized fish while digging up a calgary basement believes the world was created by god a few thousand years ago.. it's for that reason edgar nernberg doesn't think the fossils could possibly be as old as paleontologists are estimating.. "i subscribe to the creationist position, and i believe they were laid down in noah's flood, about 4,500 years ago.

  I was listening to the news on cbc radio yesterday when this story came on. One of the announcers quipped if the fossils were from the flood why did the fish die? Don't fish thrive in water?

  This was the running joke on the air for most of the morning
