hi guys, .
in discussions with a current jw, they told me that have big concerns with regards to the 607 bce date, but they are waiting on jehovah for refining.
any suggestions on questions to pose to them based on their feedback?.
Waiting on big J is a thought stopping response, it is used to ease cognitive dissonance and prevent further discussion of uncomfortable facts. Cults use thought stopping a lot.
"Make sure of all things hold fast to what is true" and use the Bereans as an example.
i emailed mr. stewart about jackson's testimony, asking if the video link would be visible to the public.. this was his prompt reply:.
thank you dianne for your interest.
the it people tell me that mr jackson will be on the screen for all to see and hear.regardsangus stewart.
Well lets hope it means exactly that.
so i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.
So you're trolling then? Just shit stirring?
I'm not posting on any thread you start if that's the case.

No, the article is not the proof, the scientific study it talks about is. if you'd bothered to read it you would have worked that part out. Like i said, unless you see it with your own eyes you wont believe it.
I take it from that level of scepticism that you no longer believe in god / the bible either. If you do then you are not being true to your core world view as it doesnt allow for it.

Unless you went to the moon and saw the reflectors with your own eyes I doubt you would accept any other evidence.
There is plenty of other testable evidence they are there though. seek and ye shall find etc etc, if you can be arsed that is.
Here's one for starters:

Sweet jeebus on a stick, is this stupid thread still going!?
There are reflectors placed on the moon.
They are real.
Get over it.
oz branch coordinator terrence o'brien opined a number of times at about 1:00:00 until about 1:15:00 of his testimony, that a dub does not need to da, they can become "inactive.".
i sent our beloved angus stewart my personal experience, as well as observations about official borg teachings.
(he replied in short order.).
I am 5 years out in my fade and yes i have my family, but all my JW "friends" dropped me. BUT, here's the but, if i do anything not approved by watchtower even now i can be disfellowshipped still and then lose my family.
So fading is slow and leads to a kind of limbo with fear of disfellowshipping always over the shoulder.
my boy is 10 and has got very interested in pocamon cards.
( a game way to complicated for me to understand) but i've also noticed it's linked to a computer game, which seems harmless enough but i also noticed advertisements for more violent games appear.. i would value people's opinion on whether, you think video games cause bad behaviour in kids.
i should mention my kid says i limit his time on these games, much more than other children's parents, and i was thinking of reevaluating that rule.. thanks.. the rebel..
It depends, is the answer.
Games have ratings much like films. He's 10, so would you let him watch adult rated films? I hope not at least until he's mid teens. Same goes for games.
The quantity of time on the other hand needs moderating.
Obviously this will change with his age.
Edit to add: yes if you control and repress to much, they will rebel later probably more than if you are balanced when they are young.

A stone about 5mm across would send the rider flying onto their face, let alone lowered kerbs, drain covers etc etc.
The wheels need to be a lot bigger. Otherwise you'd spend your unhappy time on it looking at the ground immediately in front for tiny thnigs that will try and kill you, instead of looking ahead.
as has been observed in western congos, the decline is real.. usa is 12.475 % less -2015 vs 2014.
Yes but 12% sounded frickin awesome!
