Msil,
There have been so many posts on this board lately that are sad and others that are just plain bickering.
I never wrote this letter.
I put it through a complaint letter generator.
That's all I will say about that

this is a letter i have planned on writing for some time, a letter that i claim is extremely important and one that certainly must be heeded if we are to undo the damage caused by jehovah's witnesses.
unless you share my view that i am making an appeal to the intelligence of the reader not to be fooled by jehovah's witnesses's demagoguery, there's no need for you to hear me further.
it has been said that jehovah's witnesses is doing the very thing for which it criticizes others.

This is a letter I have planned on writing for some time, a letter that I claim is extremely important and one that certainly must be heeded if we are to undo the damage caused by Jehovah's Witnesses. Unless you share my view that I am making an appeal to the intelligence of the reader not to be fooled by Jehovah's Witnesses's demagoguery, there's no need for you to hear me further. It has been said that Jehovah's Witnesses is doing the very thing for which it criticizes others. I, in turn, maintain that Jehovah's Witnesses wants to transform our society into an obtuse war machine. What does it think it is? I mean, if it thinks I'm too predatory to treat the disease, not the symptoms, it's sadly mistaken. Jehovah's Witnesses's buddies portray themselves as fervent believers in freedom of speech and expression, but are loath to reveal that when people say that bigotry and hate are alive and well, they're right. And Jehovah's Witnesses is to blame. Jehovah's Witnesses's platitudes have paid off: already, Jehovah's Witnesses has had some success in its efforts to infiltrate and then dominate and control the mass media. The bulk of sinister, abominable politicos are at least marginally tolerable, but not Jehovah's Witnesses. Considering the corruption and foolishness that characterize uncivilized menaces, Jehovah's Witnesses is completely salacious. We all are, to some extent, but it sets the curve.
You may balk at this, but it's easy enough to hate Jehovah's Witnesses any day of the week on general principles. But now I'll tell you about some very specific things that Jehovah's Witnesses is up to, things that ought to make a real Jehovah's Witnesses-hater out of you. First off, the central paradox of its stratagems, the twist that makes its op-ed pieces so irresistible to the most unsympathetic morons you'll ever see, is that these people truly believe that human beings should be appraised by the number of things and the amount of money they possess instead of by their internal value and achievements. Jehovah's Witnesses always sounds like it's reading a prepared speech, as if it made any difference. If you look soberly and carefully at the evidence all around you, you will unquestionably find that ever since Jehovah's Witnesses decided to dominate or intimidate others, its consistent, unvarying line has been that obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, and ambiguity are marks of depth and brilliance. Isn't it interesting which questions Jehovah's Witnesses dodges and what tangents it goes off on? Those dodges and tangents make me think that Jehovah's Witnesses wants to bad-mouth worthy causes. Why it wants that, I don't know, but that's what it wants. Jehovah's Witnesses's functionaries argue that it holds a universal license that allows it to publish blatantly villainous rhetoric as "education" for children to learn in school. These are the same intrusive rotters who fuel inquisitions. This is no coincidence; as long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, Jehovah's Witnesses's sycophants don't really care that I appreciate feedback and other people's views on subjects. I don't, however, appreciate feedback when it's given in an unprofessional manner. In closing, we must work together to resolve a number of lingering problems. Together, we can make a difference. Forever and always.

Hi Duns,
I have an idea where you are coming from.
Kripkes' style is "essentialism" whereby he seeks to explain essence in terms of essential properties.
You have me thinking back a fair few years, but can these questions be adequately explained on logical grounds when by the same token they cannot be explained on metaphysical grounds either?

Back to the original question....
The elements of water are 1 part oxygen, 2 parts hydrogen.......this applies whether the "water" is in ice, steam or snow form.
Therefore, both questions are right.
It is rather like asking if a glass is half full or half empty.

Some Birds Were Not Meant To Be Caged
explorer spoke about ex-jw's hating jw's and spoke about forgiveness.. i dug up an article from the 12/1/97 watchtower.. in paragraph 15, under the sub-heading, when it seems impossible to forgive, the article stated this:.
what, though, if others sin against us in a way that inflicts the deepest of wounds, and yet there is no acknowledgement of the sin, no repentance, and no apology on the part of the offender?
(proverbs 28:13) the scriptures clearly indicate that jehovah does not forgive unrepentant, hardened sinners.
Excellent points from all.
I found I had to forgive, not for the WTBTS, but for my own well-being.
It is not healthy to carry around hurts....deep wounds....and feel deep rage and hatred when we all realize rationally that there is NEVER going to be an apology.
Quester put this into words far better than I
