Help - I'm going to be conducting the watchtower study
by Saltheart Foamfollower init looks like i'm going to have to take the watchtower study for a while so i thought i'd seek help.. i wont be outing myself or stating anything too controversial, but so far i have come up with the following tactics : 1) ask questions which will get people thinking even if it is about something insignificant - developing a questioning mind is the key to discovering ttat as far as i am concerned.
2) highlight any extreme points so that some might realise they are extreme.
3) highlight any good points - helping others in need for example - just because it is the right thing to do.. if anyone has any general comments which could help, please post them here.

Home bookstudy ended because of 'independent study' groups? Any interesting stories regarding these types of groups?
by Nicodemus Kathoplizo insomeone suggested the other day that the home bookstudy meeting ended because of 'independent study' groups (in ireland) going 'off the reservation' and left the truth (tm).. has anyone heard of this before?.
does anyone have interesting stories of 'independent study' groups resulting in large scale apostasy?.
they did not publish this for no reason:.

I was told by someone pretty high up in Bethel that one of the reasons for ending meetings at homes dealt with Liability issues dealing with accidents and injuries.

I'm getting disfellowshipped
by raven inhi everyone, a bit of an update here on my continuing disaster of a situation.. (refer to my previous posts for the full story) my mom met with me yesterday for dinner, it was nice.. however, she brought up the fact that because i live with my boyfriend and how everything has gone down, i will be disfellowshipped.. i think the elders basically have enough proof of this.. due to the anonymous tipper (still have no clue who it was, i live in another town 100's of miles away from my old congregation territory), and my mom telling them.
i'm not sure when they will announce it, or if they will contact me prior.. at this point i feel so emotionally dead i don't care- on the other hand, i don't want to be disfellowshipped because i do not want to loose a relationship with my mom.
that is the whole reason i tried fading out.. .

DJS - a legal response will do nothing - you would be shunned anyway.
It will just make them think apostate instead of weak person. -

What does the Armageddon Genocide Actually Accomplish?
by xjwsrock inwhy murder 8 billion non-believers to just turn around and resurrect 20 billion other non-believers?
.

Yes Half banana - its 100 billion.
Like always the WT uses only stats they like - the 20 billion is a very very old estimate, that convenient for them, they never revised.
Why? Where would you put them? How could a major portion of them reject the "truth" after being resurrected?
And how long would it take to resurrect them then teach them.. bla..bla..bla..I used the 100 billion figure in a talk once, and a elder challenged me on it (even though I had referenced where it came from) but he of course did not want to believe that any info like that could change in the 50 since he read about it in a WT or Awake.
Funny how this 1 thing can bring down the ENTIRE house of cards if you think about the logistics.

Critical Thinking-is that phrase a stigma?
by PaintedToeNail inwhen 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'.

YES!!!!! Every brother who I have EVER heard talk about it on the stage or at an assembly define it as "being critical (as in unjustly picky) of the Org, GB, Elders...
Again I refer you to:
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which relatively unskilled persons suffer illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than it really is.
