I don't want to derail this topic but if either yourself or ozziepost would like to start a new one I'd be happy to contribute.
All I would say here is that atheism propounds nothing, it has no tenets and holds no beliefs - not even the belief that there is no god, that's a common misconception.

ozziepost: yes, atheism can be classified as a belief system
No, it can't.

Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one

here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.

it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

Scientific consensus exists for a reason. It's not there because it just happens to be what the majority of experts agree on or because there's an agenda.
You'll have experts in their field testing a hypothesis to destruction in labs around the world. If a cherished hypothesis fails it's discarded. What remains standing is the consensus.
It may yet be proven wrong. If fossils of modern animals were found in the pre Cambrian the theory of evolution would be shot, but consensus is powerful - especially when it's been tested and survived for decades.
Vaccinations work. These anti science posts are not a good look.

If anyone wants to take it over, I bought the domain www.lloydevans.info a few months ago but I'm enjoying my life too much to inject time spent on *him* into it. My eldest son recently got married and my granddaughter starts pre-school next month. These things are FAR more important.

I did send an email to one regular poster here but haven't received a reply so thought I'd open it up to everyone else.
I don't want a penny for it. PM me if you're interested and we can sort out the details.

The elephant in the room post

is it ok to talk about the ongoing post about 'he who must not ne named"?.

my perspective: im a neutral observer.

i dont know lloyd evans, im not an active member of any ex-jw group (except this one i guess).
nicolaou

He is the tar we're all being brushed with. They called us "mentally diseased apostates" remember?
They'll point at Evans as proof they were right. As an activist he has to go.

LMSA: Got them, fifteen submissions. I'm on my way out to the day job right now but will get on these this evening along with some docs that 'someone else'* has kindly submitted.
Diogenesister: I'll certainly take the unedited file of LE's livestream. 'Someone else'* was also kind enough to give me their livestream file but I know that quality and file size can vary. Yes, I'm sure LE would object (and if it's simply posted as is he may have a point) but having a good raw file to work from is ideal when making shorter clips with commentary.
Many thanks to you all, there'll be something to see real soon.
Keep them coming.

Diogenesister, LMsA
Please go ahead and upload what you've got. I've increased the maximum upload file size to 256Mb per file and you can upload 10 files at a time within that limit but if that's not enough (I know video files can be large) I could temporarily increase the limit to suit.
A short text file to describe what you're uploading would be appreciated.
Thanks
