Yes nugget. That's my point. Per the WTS, they are potentially being infected by adding their comments to this article, knowing good and well that there are "mentally diseased" people also commenting on it.
Say it loud and proud - DOUBLE STANDARD!!!

I made a suggestion on page 9 of this thread about posting a reminder to faithful dubs about the society's direction regarding not posting on these types of blogs.
Well after rereading the article in The Independent, I realized that that direction was already reposted there by the writer of the article.
So if these apologists have read this, and are aware of it, and attended the meeting that discussed it, how can they brazenly condemn "apostates" of having their own ideas, while going contrary 'to the the things they have been taught' by responding to that article?
My two cents. ***Confusion suddenly sets in***

just recently the org has changed the literature distribution to the congregation members.. the changes are:.
1) publishers are to pick-up their mag's weekly in preparation for what they think they will use that week.
2) group conductors shall now distribute the study article of the wt, and the km.. wonder why they have changed this?.
@ baltar447 - I don't think it's really old news. The elders in my hall never distribute The Watchtower study copies to the publishers in my hall. Only the KM copies.
However, if it is old news, then 'evidently', the elders in my hall are not following the slave's direction.

Perhaps someone should cut and paste a comment to the faithful dubs responding to the article.
I don't have access to the article right now, but something in regards to what the recent Watchtower study said about 'not commenting on blogs of apostates' sounds good.
You know, just to remind them that they have no business trying to defend the society because by doing so, they are going contrary to the FDS's direction.
Just saying.

dublin news story contains a blatant lie from the mouth of a jw spokesman:.
http://www.thejournal.ie/need-for-discussions-between-hospitals-and-jehovahs-witness-patients-234833-sep2011/.
a court order granted today to allow the coombe hospital give a baby a blood transfusion against the wishes of her parents underscores the need for more discussions to take place between hospital staff and patients, says a dublin branch of jehovahs witnesses.. harry homan, from the south dublin hospital liaison committee said that the issue highlighted the relationship between hospital staff and jehovahs witness patients.. he said, however, that there is already healthy discussions happening across the country.. the parents in this case are very happy with the hospital and the care being give to their baby, homan told thejournal.ie.. there is an excellent relationship between the parents and staff and the child is receiving the best of care.. he added that a blood transfusion will only be given to the premature baby as a last resort.. at the moment, she is doing well, said homan.. rte reports that the transfusion will be given to the baby if her condition deteriorates and it is necessary to save her life.. hospitals are acutely aware of the dangers associated with blood transfusions, claimed homan, adding that it is in everyones best interests to seek alternatives.. he said the position of jehovahs witnesses is perfectly clear on the matter of blood transfusions.. we do refuse transfusions, he said.

i read this today on the board and want to ask, is the statement true?.
all religious belief distills down to faith in utterly unprovable stories.
i feel this way sometimes.
Franklin, I agree with Flipper about watching Religulous.
I admit that a lot of editing obviously was done to make the documentary fit into an alloted time and so you don't know the complete context of what a person said, but you get the idea. I enjoyed and have seen it quite a few times.
Due to that as well other things I have seen/read/thought about, I have come to the conclusion.................Faith defies logic. With faith, things don't have to make sense. Believing something's real or that it happened is enough.
My 2 cents.
