The new Governing Body is liberal. they are really freeminders!
by rege brazzy indear friends, your posts are very good, but we really think that they will change many things soon...for example.
watch tower now are feminist and they protect the gay cause.soon we will have many gay marriages in kingdom halls.you will see.that governing body is really cool.ted jaracz and john barr were the last puritans in the governing body!.
the current governing body is completely liberal, but as yet has some bethelites the old guard working, they are still holding some behaviors .... but very soon you will see ... even in my congregation is very liberal ... not here disassociates for immorality .. just for apostasy ... i fucked three sister, but the elders did not shunned me, but they only help me!

What kind of errors in the Bible?
by TheWonderofYou inthe new testament specialist daniel wallace notes that although there are about 300,000 individual variations of the text of the new testament, this number is very misleading.
most of the differences are completely inconsequential--spelling errors, inverted phrases and the like.
a side by side comparison between the two main text families (the majority text and the modern critical text) shows agreement a full 98% of the time.[18].

This post says nothing about the disharmony of the gospels, the Q source, evidence of plagiarism, historical revisions, later insertions, the nicene council's subjective "authorization" for selected apocrypha nor does it say anything about the fact that the oldest scripts are still decades older than the alleged death of heysoos and many of the fragments are no larger than a credit card. It's all crap -

It'd be nice to have references more recent than 1991 & 1975.
how about dr robert price for starters?

Are the Governing Body Members Mentally Ill?
by Oubliette indata-dog: i believe that many of them would actually be considered mentally ill, if they were ever tested.. .
great question and intriguing hypothesis.
lets take an armchair psychologists view and see what we shall see.

Anthony Morris has also gotten fat over the last few years. I hereby disfellowship him for gluttony. -

@ RC: "For evolution to be true..."
by Scully inaccording to a jw contact, one of the speakers at the regional conventiontm stated that "for evolution to be true, two of the same kind would have had to evolve at the same time; one would have to be male and the other would have to be female, and then they would have to find each other".
apparently the crowd had a good laugh over how evolutionists overlook such a simple "fact".. i mentioned that bacteria and viruses use asexual reproduction, and that many sea creatures / fish, etc.
are hermaphrodite and do not require a sexual partner to produce offspring.. oddly enough, the conversation stopped there.

Right, billy! And ONLY the marsupials went there. -

Yes, yes. There are genes and growth factors that go off at different times at crucial points during gestation and we are all indeed "female."
(great videos are out there of testes vs ovaries and clitoris vs penis based on sex hormone expression)
I was just trying to highlight the fact that mutations accumulate over a long period of time across the entire population of a species and NOT in parallel (as the speaker was arguing) so I omitted sex hormones entirely. That is a biggie as well (and, sex hormones are coded for by DNA).
fortunately, the fact that sexual reproduction "shuffles the genetic deck" is another fail safe against radical changes (in most cases) from one generation to the next that prevents this incompatibility problem the speaker is trying to promote.

What an uneducated argument. Right off the bat, the speaker loses. Evolution by definition is "a change in allele frequency in a population over time." That's it.
An allele is an expressed gene. DNA mutates all the time, randomly. Most mutations are inert (they cause no change because the mutation occurs in parts of the DNA which already don't code for anything). Some are detrimental (like achondroplasia or cystic fibrosis). Others may allow an organism to thrive in their environment or better equip them to thrive in a changed environment.
The point is, the changes accumulate within a population over time. In other words, ALL individuals in that population will eventually have the new allele. So yes, male and female evolve together, over time, having their alleles positively selected for by the environmental pressures they're subjected to.
This guy is giving a false analogy. In his mind, he believes evolution can't work because genes rapidly change between genders of individuals within a species from one generation to the next. He would have you believe that male/female mutations are like lowering a window blind with one string at a time so it descends unevenly with each yank. Male and female members of a population are tightly "braided" genetically--both being exposed to the same environment--much like a braided or capped window blind drawstring, allowing the window blind (or balance of similar alleles) to raise & lower at an even level in response to natural selection.
In humans, 44 of our chromosomes are not sex chromosomes, only 2 are. Actually, pretty substantial changes CAN occur between male and female as long as they're still able to produce compatible germ cells. Look at male birds vs female birds in many species. There are huge differences in allele expression and yet they can still produce offspring.
But I guess the dirt man and rib woman in a magic garden who fucked up everything for the rest of us by taking dietary advice from a talking snake makes a helluva lot more sense. My bad! Sorry for murmuring.

Sociopaths are habitual and guilt-free liars. They knowingly lie to get what they want. But sociopathy is a personality disorder; one with possible physiological causes, but no cure. They're just naturally bad people and we're stuck with them.
tmo3 tho... He's like cheney, durst or madoff evil. He has no qualms about victimizing people on a mass scale. I'm convinced that man is a sociopath (and perhaps even a psychopath or sadist because he appears to enjoy the pain he causes). What horrid, untold secrets must his wife & kids know? Hopefully some day, one of them will write a tell-all book like Jenna Miscaviege did.

My sister is being harassed by the elders
by opusdei1972 insometime ago i wrote here in this forum about the case of my sister, who decided to stop attending the meetings because she realised that the watchtower society is an evil organization.
this happened more than one year ago.
i am not living in the same country of my sister, so i learn about her case when she calls me or when she write me through whatsapp.

They're already getting more like scientology. It makes sense! Tomo3 is our new david miscaviege. We can only expect to see more toxicity.
