i am just wondering here: almost every single quote in jw literature for which a source can be found, is taken out of context..
personally, i have checked almost every quote in the 5-questions brochure, some on dating and the cross in reasoning book, and some in magazine articles i found interesting..
just checked the "they envisioned a universe subject to whims of gods" quote in the feb 2016 awake..
@jhine
I'll have to check it out after I'm done with "Your Inner Fish", which by the way is an excellent book!!
@Anders
Didnt know that about Fracis Collins, never heard of him. Don't pay too much attention to what comes from the Vatican. 😬
Personally it's been interesting looking at all the evidence which proves the modern human being has been here for much longer than 6000 years. Perhaps one day the wts with shed another light bulb on that teaching??😂

Dark Knight there are scientists who believe in God , Francis Collins , former head of the Human Genome Project , for one . He is fully conversant with the theory of evolution .
I honestly didn't realise that. I haven't been studying evolution and science for too long but that's interesting. What I do notice is that wts often does quote spin individuals who do not believe in a creator.
i was once a person who believed in god destroying 7 billion people so a few people could live in paradise.. when the penny finally dropped and i realised what as a jehovah's witnesses i was really praying for , it made me feel sick.
what is attractive about a person that prays for this world to end .
i was ashamed to have been a witness deeply ashamed .

They must think that the normal j-dub isn't going to take the time to look up the original quote.
I was always personally amazed that scientists who taught evolution believed in a creator, until I found out that those quotes were taken out of context to make it appear so.
how do you faders/inactive handle being asked to the memorial by family?
Such a boring meeting. You've been to one, you've been to them all.
Honestly just tell whomever is asking that your going to a different one with an old friend. Yes it's a lie but why waste a perfectly good night at the most boring night of the year?

in our congregation there are now more ex-elders than current ones.
(probably very common).
what i notice most of all, is that the ones who were the best speakers (we actually had some good ones) are the ones who have all stepped down.. i'm of the opinion the better teachers recognize its all a joke, and can't be bothered to reach out again.. so the ones left who are taking the lead are the most boring ones available.
'granular' seems to be the latest buzz word going around my office.
previously it was 'appetite'.. abstract words that appear to be designed to make the person saying it appear powerful and part of the 'team'.. as lord sugar has observed before; why not just speak english and say what you mean.. office jargon really annoys me.
i had enough loaded language and jargon in the disgusting jw cult..
congrats to kim mikey, mike and kim reached 3000 subscribers on their youtube channel!
go check em out!
I'm with OneEyedJoe. Kim and Mike made me second guess leaving the Org. I assumed that all apostates were like them, angry and bitter.
All they need to do is present the facts. Don't need to be douchy about it.
