  I'm told by ex-Mormons that the Mormons were, in fact, successfully sued in the U.S. over shunning practices. Since then, they say the church has stopped pushing that doctrine but many Mormons shun ex-Mormons anyway. There was a different basis for their lawsuit than that used in JW cases, but I don't remember now what it was. :(

  When I interviewed Gregorio, he made it sound like they wanted to do DVDs with extras and maybe downloadable VODs eventually. But the movie is still playing in theaters according to his FB posts. He sends out invites and so forth everytime there's a new showing. I would imagine that the DVD won't be available until there's no more money to be made in theaters.

  Unassailable Truth about Creation

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it is rare to have absolute proof of the fact that the borg is categorically wrong.. the recent discovery of hominid footprints in happisburgh, norfolk, england is one such.

  these footprints are of a family of people who walked in the soft mud 800/850 thousand years ago.

  this is properly substantiated fact not open to dismissal.. further evidence in the uk shows the use of flint tools in hunting and butchering animals again accurately dated to 450,000/500,000 yearsthe bible traces adams creation to something over 6000 years ago.

  The WT would be way smarter to only stick to generalities when it comes to science if their only interest was in spreading their "truth." They simply don't know what they are talking about or don't care if it's accurate or not. If that was their only priority, it would be safer to simply say they don't believe in it because the Bible says so.

  But there is money to be made in Creationism. The Creation Book was widely read by non-Witnesses and no doubt a financial success. Richard Dawkins claimed that he had received many copies of it over the years in his book, "The God Delusion." (He criticized it as well.) That financial success, all by itself, was surely enough to keep them publishing it for more than 20 years despite its overwhelming factual errors. It also makes sense for them to make a new one to capitalize on this further. Every time they make a new anything, JWs have to donate generously for it just to keep up with the next book study. Then others - househoulders - will do the same.

  Why are they still going door to door?

  by Euphemism in

  hey all, long time no see!.

  a friend posted the anthony morris videos on facebook today, and the ensuing conversation got me wondering: why are the jws still going door-to-door in the developed world?.

  it's clearly useless as an evangelizing tactic; the wt have recognized that for 20 years, with their "go where the people are" spiel, but they also insist that it's still necessary.. .

  There is another argument. I seem to remember reading some years ago about a study suggesting that this was, in fact, the most effective way to do it. It's intrusive and annoying, but also the only way to do it face to face with the largest number of people. People respond to that if they're of a mind to. Considering that about 2 out of every 3 converts leaves - same for born-ins - they need all the numbers they can get just to stay even.

  As hard as it is, there is at least some evidence suggesting that it's the most effective method.

  More importantly, it gives them something to do and a goal to work toward. Which is, I think, a good 50% of the reason to have them do it.

  I've been following this on FB. I would love to hear a recording of it, but I understand why he doesn't do that since most JWs would never agree to it.

  One less celebrity Scientologist

  by Gopher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it makes me very happy when a popular celebrity leaves a cult, because it could give others the courage to do it or start to think about leaving.. leah remini played carrie on "the king of queens", and has also been on "saved by the bell", "the talk" and had small parts in other shows.. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/leah-remini-leaves-church-of-scientology-calls-it-corrupt-report-2013117.

  leah remini leaves church of scientology, calls it "corrupt": report.

  the church of scientology has one less celebrity among its ranks, according to a new report: leah remini.

  I would be interested in it. My wife still goes to conventions. Also, it could be put on YouTube and used for various writing projects. As in, "Can you believe they said that?? See how nuts these guys are!!"

  She asked me a question; “Do you know what the world would look like if no one ever sinned?” I answered, “Well, I supposed we’d all be running around naked and living in a big Garden.”

  “That’s right and one day Jehovah is going to return the earth to its original purpose.”

  “You mean we’re all going to be running around naked in a big Garden?”

  That's pretty close to how my sensibilities react to claims like this. A very overzealous in-law, who doesn't know when to quit, once handed me a magazine that had a pic of their paradise on the cover. It was the usual scene of a forest filled with multi-cultural pals wondering around with painfully sharp smiles. She pointed to a spot on the cover that was devoid of any shiny, happy people, and asked me, with tears in her eyes, "Would you like to be here?"

  I told her no. "I'm allergic to bugs." (I also sunburn easily.)

  I gave blood last week--first time ever. My hematology class helped out with a local blood drive, so I signed up to donate while I was there.

  :P Watchtower!
