no credit to God for victory over this or any other addiction
Riiiight. God will help you beat addiction but congenital diseases - not so much. Won't lift a finger to protect you from an assailant or rapist either.
God's got weird priorities.

no wonder they instructed congregation elders to throw away old literature from kingdon hall libraries.
No doubt you're correct but here's the thing in Watchtowerland.
Nobody cares.
like the org just gives up and comes out saying that all of what they are saying is untrue and that there is no armageddon, nothing.
how do y’all think the the members still in it would react?.
there be a mental health crisis i perhaps.
I mean, I'm no fan of Watchtower but comparing their output to Hitler's speeches? Really?
I actually think I could compare Jesus to a Nazi sympathiser Sea Breeze. Want me to elaborate?

She is both all the time and should identify as such.
Bullshit. When I'm at my Greek family gatherings it's raucous and hysterical and I'm happy to go native. My wife is an English rose and when we're with her family I switch.
Get over yourself and stop demanding what people should be. It's not your business.

Simon, you and I have been posting here for over two decades and I think the only thing we've ever disagreed on is Trump.
That's fine, we aren't kids.

When Kamala hits Indian TV, she’s Indian. When she rolls up in Atlanta, she’s Black. Politicians call this code-switching. We used to call this lying.
My folks emigrated to the UK in December 1963 from Cyprus, I was born a few months later in a Midlands town. Am I British or Cypriot? Let me tell you, I identify as both.
Harris was born to an Indian mother and Jamaican father. You can be two things, it's not complicated.

The latest summer convention is probably the best they’ve ever held in terms of the quality of the programme.
Really? Examples please Slim'.
this is a continuation of the discussion which sprang from an unrelated topic.. so according to genesis, who told the first lie?
god told eve that if she ate from the tree of knowledge she would die that very same day.
in response to that statement the devil told her she would not die.. eve ate from the tree and did not die.
You do know Kaleb is an autistic savant right?
No, I didn't know that and it does make a difference. My wife has worked with autistic children in the UK education system for fifteen years so I've picked up a little knowledge through her.

Kaleb, of course it's a myth. Of course it didn't happen at all, I acknowledged as much earlier.
The discussion is for the benefit of an exJW audience who, like myself at any rate, we're indoctrinated on this stuff and some find it more difficult to let go than others.
Stop being such a smug drama queen.

KOW: it just reads "you will surely die." No mention of a "day." So where is the lie? They did die, right?
Everyone dies. If some thug threatens you with death you aren't going to assume they're referring to your old age demise.
Equally if someone says you won't die you aren't going to assume they mean you'll never die, that's just ridiculous.
Sophisticated theology can be fascinating but if it's arguing that black is white it's worthless.
