Are photos allowed as evidence at a JC? Thought they weren't-re: pale.emporer thread.

i thought that photos weren't allowed as proof of sin to the jc because they can be faked.

same with audio recordings.. this thread in response to the pale.emporer thread where his sister-in-law snooped on his computer, found his info from here and took pictures of it.

if the photos and recording are not allowed for a jc, this could be valuable info to anyone else who has a sneaky relative trying to 'out' them with photos or recordings.. anyone have any info on this?.

Critical Thinking-is that phrase a stigma?
by PaintedToeNail in
1. jw
2. friends
when i first heard the term 'critical thinking' it was as a teenager during a watchtower study.

the study went on to elaborate how we shouldn't be swayed by critical thinking.

there was no explanation that the term didn't mean 'to criticize' thoughts and words, but rather that it means 'to objective think and to evaluate thoughts and words'.

recently my 'in' hubby did some work for another jw.

there was need for me to communicate with them and i used facebook to do so.

it was amusing to find the blue jwfacts.com logo on their page instead of the jw official logo!
