Certainly they will take credit for these Bold proactive steps to protect children - unlike other churches and organizations.
There will be no mention of how they were forced to do this - nor that the 2 witness rule still will make this difficult.

Does Anyone Know The "Real" Attitude That JWs Have Towards "Inactive Ones"?
by minimus indoes the rank and file or the elders view us as disassociated or disfellowshipped or simply "weak" or possibly a "prodigal son" type?.

Yes we are ignored and viewed like we have the plague by the vast majority.
They might catch our cooties if they get to close.

If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?
by stuckinarut2 init is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?
didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.
seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

River flowing from the garden of Eden
by joey jojo inhey there.. if this point has been covered before please forgive me.. i have had the principles of noahs flood used by jw's to encourage me to attend meetings recently and this has got me musing about the flood....again.. genesis states that a river flowed from eden and branched out into four rivers, two of which being the tigris and the euphrates.. heres the baffling part; if it had never rained before, how is it that rivers existed before the flood?!!?.
a brief google search tells us that the euphrates begins its journey as snow melt and rain ( as most rivers do) in mountains in turkey.. ecc chapter 1 mentions the water cycle and describes the rivers flowing into the sea but the sea not becoming full.
how did it work pre-flood?

Yes just one of the 1000 + stupid religious contradiction in the bible.
But NOWHERE in the bible - NOWHERE does it say It never rained before the flood. NOWHERE.

Who can explain why the "Two Witness" rule is wrong, in the simplest term?
by DATA-DOG inwith all the legalese being tossed around, and the expert manipulation on the part of the wtbts, who can explain why the "two witness" is being perverted by the wtbts?
i don't care if you're a bible believer and want to approach this from a biblical standpoint, or if you simply use logic and reason.
how would you explain this subject to a j-dub, or even a non-dub?.

So how many people would you need to come to you that said - "hey Brother X just killed someone" before you decided to call the police?

The bible is a fairytale book of HORROR STORIES about a petulant vindictive BiPolar god.
The stories are also less believable than anything Disney has put out - we just ignored the idiocy.
If you have not watch this funny video of Sampson - do yourself a favor. IT IS AMAZING.

Most Widely Circulated Magazine In The World
by Calebs Airplane inwhich magazine is now the most widely circulated in the world?.
before responding, keep in mind that certain parameters (such as content and page count) ought to be met before any printed material intended for mass distribution can be categorized as a “magazine”.
for example, the absolute minimum range for any publication to be considered a magazine is typically around 32 to 48 pages while the highest page counts are usually around 128 to 160, with some popular women’s fashion magazines coming in quite a bit higher than that.. so with that said, which is now the world’s most widely circulated magazine?.

Most widely distributed does not mean the most read.
I think 90% of WT and Awakes end up in the Trash 5 min after placed.
When I was in and even pioneering - I really had no reason to think anyone (even my RVs) had read a word of any I left them.

The "Paradise" as promised by the Watchtower
by Saethydd ini was thinking today about the descriptions of the future "paradise" presented by the watchtower, and i was struck by something about it.
most of us are aware that the watchtower promotes an interpretation of the apocalypse that would result in the immediate execution of 99.9% of the population with no hope for resurrection.
additionally, we have been told about the large group of people that are supposed to side with satan at the end of the thousand year reign of christ.

So - Dog's deal with humanity is SOOOOOOOOO Great that even after everyone is perfect in Paradise that a large number of people would CHOOSE to get Killed by Dog rather than live forever? Wow paradise must really suck.
Dog is a really crappy at selling his deal.
