Jehovah’s Witnesses and Disfellowshipping
by Marcial inles témoins de jéhovah.
et exclusion.
this file has been translated into french - an imperfect translation probably, but one that will certainly inform many of what is happening within the sect to counter the excluded or dissociated and the doctrine of punitive isolation if they refuse to bend to the diktats of those who interpret the bible according to their projects, whose followers are unaware of the more or less long-term goals.

Date of Adam's "Creation?
by Slidin Fast inhow do jws resolve these conflicting facts.. 1. no matter how you spin it, bible chronology calculates to circa 4000 bc for adam's creation.
i followed the trail many years ago and that's what it adds up to.. 2. the most cursory investigation of any branch of relevant science puts man's habitation on the earth as hugely earlier than that.
it's now so well-proved that anyone disputing it is guilty of wilful ignorance.

How do JWs resolve these conflicting facts.
1. No matter how you spin it, bible chronology calculates to Circa 4000 BC for Adam's creation. I followed the trail many years ago and that's what it adds up to.
2. The most cursory investigation of any branch of relevant science puts man's habitation on the earth as hugely earlier than that. It's now so well-proved that anyone disputing it is guilty of wilful ignorance. There is so much evidence, hard evidence that I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise with a straight face.
3. Since Jesus was a believer in this creation story and the ransom is based on the biblical narrative, this very fact blows JW and any other fundamentalist religion out of the water.
WT has been stepping back from the 7000 year "creative day" doctrine for many years but bible chronology stubbornly remains out on an ever more dodgy limb.
I suspect that Scholar will have something to say but I am really interested in how this circle can be squared.

Simple Question Re 1914
by Slidin Fast inwt claims that satan was thrown out of heaven in october 1914 precipitating ww!
and the end times.
a small problem with that is ww1 started on july 28th 1914 whilst satan was still in heaven picking his nose.. how did we not see this and waste years of precious life?

We had this same point just a few weeks back, I’m thinking we should be seeing some familiar faces joining our thread pretty soon. 😉
Sorry about that, I must have missed it.

Hines v. Watchtower, et al, Plaintiff's Opposition to GB's Motion to Dismiss
by DNCall inlast friday, plaintiff hines' opposition to the above motion was filed.
it appears to me that the zalkin firm eviscerates the gb's motion.
in plaintiff's memorandum of law, it is clearly presented that the elements of hines' complaint are of the type protected by ny law against motions to dismiss.

One of our party in which someone a pioneer, dressed as in horns and a tail as the devil made the Circuit Assembly pep talk as one of the horrific godless that should be condemned...now.
Of course it was totally harmless good fun. It was a long, long time ago.

Governing Body's Reply in Support of Its Motion to Dismiss in Hines v. Watchtower
by DNCall inthe governing body's reply to hines' opposition to their motion to dismiss appears to address the various elements in the opposition including case law cited by hines.
it's now up to the judge to determine which party will prevail.
the judge has up to 60 days to make such determination but it has been stipulated that the return date for the parties to return to court is tomorrow, april 13th.

I for one will be very interested to hear the result of this skirmish. I think the argument raised against WT was compelling. So am in your hands.

Lovely you are back. I loved your alternative WT study. I wouldn’t ask you to do it again, it’s just mind pollution.
I will look forward to your valuable contributions.

I think they're planning on renting out the studio space
No, they sold all the Mill Hill property. This is a commercial company in the film studio business.
It's ironic that they went through that upheaval to create a similar facility in Chelmsford, what a waste of energy.
