  hi people,.

  i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

  1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

  Noah's Ark

  so i'm reading the book "the atheist book of bible stories" and something just occurred to me.. noahs ark rested on the top of mount ararat.

  how the hell did all the land animals, dinosaurs and other monsters get to ground level?

  did noah and his family just push them off the mountain and hope for the best?

  this is my first post but i've been lurking for some time.

  ive just spoken to a friend of mine from my jw days who isnt aware that i no longer associate.

  hes the coordinator of the body of elders in his congregation so i suppose he does know something of whats going on at the wt.

  I preferred Patterson to Brooklyn, what a hell that was. Noisy, stinky, stressfull. For the ones that serve for a long time in Brooklyn and having their friends in the local congregation it will be a big change. Some were in foreign language congregations and can forget that.

  No, the ground for appeal is the opinion and request of the accused, that's why it is important to write the reason for appealing.

  When the reason is stated, appeal goes.

  Many are granted, believe me.

  LisaRose...did you read my comment? Or are you just guessing?

  The members of appeal committees are chosen for their qualities, in my experience, they or we were there without prejustice, looking for an escape for the accused. But than again, you have to try to judge if the accused was repentant at the moment of the first committee.

  @Slimboyfat and others...I have been on a fixed appeal committee for years in miss-service. More than 50% of the decisions of the original committees were totally wrong. Makes sense as in third world countries education is low, there were few elders and those serving were end 20thies.

  What I always ciriticized was the fact that although the whole theocratic judge-system is based on US rules, why can't the accused not have a lawyer?

  Bro Loesch's talk.

  by New day in

  1. watchtower

  recently i heard through video link to our kh a talk by bro loesch where he attacked university study (again) but this time he prefaced his remarks by saying, and i quote, "the faithful slave does not forbid you to go to university.

  " so this was a bad start as his following remarks made it clear that this was just a way of seeming reasonable while basically saying that we shouldn't do it.

  he went on to use an illustration i think he has used before about a man with ocd who decided to kill himself.
