  When they speak of "logical order" I think the chronology are included (and it's forward of course).

  I think the only two logical forms applied to time is forward or backward. A "flipflopward" it's not logical in any sense.

  Buuut when you speak of time in a logical sense you must to show it in the chronological form, unless you are writing time travel fiction.

  It's a contradiction yes, but just one more among several others.

  You can write out of chronological order and at same time not be out of logical order. The logical order refers only to the events and not to the time.

  Anybody here vegan?

  by Dagney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been considering it for awhile strictly for just general overall health.

  i don't take any meds, and would like to keep it that way for as long as i can.

  i am a "all things in moderation " type of person but the more i read about excluding dairy and meat, the more i think about doing it.

  How to Record a Judicial Meeting

  by 00DAD in

  1. watchtower

  introduction: this subject came up on another thread and seemed important enough to justify its own thread:.

  judicial hearing procedure, chapter 7. recording devices.

  "recording devices should not be allowed.

  The best tip I ever heard is to carry two recorders. When they ask about the recording you can say that you have one, so they will ask to stop it. Then you can put the one recorder upon the table and the second one will continue to record.

  They will not ask if you have two or more recorders, and then you already did you have one and stop it, they'll be relaxed after that.

  Simple but very effective.

  by Matsimus in

  2. experiences

  i was born as a third generation (perhaps even fourth gen. but my great great grandfather never got baptized) jw.

  i remember that when i was young, perhaps about five years old, i would think about jehovah as this big black ghost with yellow eyes.

  to me he was quite frightening, and i was constantly catious not to piss him off.

  I was always afraid of Jehovah but when I lost my priveleges after a judicial meeting about "loose conduct", I was afraid of that picture of Jesus in the Revelation book. The WT pictures Jesus like a heaven demon mounted on a horse with a sword out of his mouth and blood around. I think the WT it's the only religion to figure Jesus in that way!

  In that time I begin to look more careful to the meetings and the people around and started to realize I was in a kind of trap. Lost my priv was the best thing to happen b/c I was always so busy in the meetings that I could not pay attention in how weird the WT was.

  Interesting topic! When I was a child I always thought Jehovah as like his name in a fast motion blur, a very abstract thought. I did not see him as a person, just as a fast moving letters. Very strange! LOL

  But when I started to surf on the web and met some apostates, one of them used a fake Jehovah profile with that picture. Now I see that man when I think about Jehovah.
