the fake precision fallacy involves making a claim with a mathematical precision that is impossible to obtain.. he does this on his site where he starts with an alleged and unsupported figure that the watchtower has a file of some 23,000 child molesters and runs that figure up to the point where it becomes absolutely absurd.

his purpose is to persuade readers that jehovah's witnesses are a hot bed of child molestation.

the problem is that he starts with at best very dubious sources and then he takes this data and treats it as if it is precise and factual.. it is not unusual for many of us to use a frivolous "false precision" in making statements.

I just got the most wonderful gift from my daughter(age 13). Tears to my eyes it did bring..an e-mail from her heart. She had wrote this a few days ago (this was not even intended for Mother's Day). How appropriate that I had not found it in my mail box until today.

She writes :

Hey I just want you to know that I love ya and that everything will work out if we stick together and even if times are hard and we don't think we can make it ( which I think that won't happen because you know us ) we will always have each other and even if we are shunned ( not us -lol ) just remember that you have good friends and family that love ya and just want you to be happy and I want you to know that I will be there for ya through thick and thin. Well except if you one day meet and marry some guy that likes to play golf then your on your own.

Ahhh..have I been blessed or what???

there will be a press conference on the courthouse steps at 10:00 a.m. on may 24, 2002 this press conference will address questions raised by jehovahs witnesses concerning the conduct of leadership in ignoring the cry of child molestation victims within their organization and their attempt to excommunicate those who support them.. at 5:30 p. m. there will be a candlelight vigil held at wilson cemetery, foust-sledd road and highway 68, for the purpose of offering support to all silent lambs.

a silent lamb is described as an individual who has experienced child molestation and those who support them that suffer due to actions of people who claim to represent god.

the public is invited to attend and participate if they wish.

do you notice anything pecular?

AFTER using children to satisfy perverted lusts, after robbing them of their security and their sense of innocence, child molesters still want something else from their victims—SILENCE. To secure that silence, they use shame, secrecy, even outright terror. Children are thus robbed of their best weapon against abuse—the will to tell, to speak up and ask an adult for protection.
Tragically, adult society often unwittingly collaborates with child abusers. How so? By refusing to be aware of this danger, by fostering a hush-hush attitude about it, by believing oft-repeated myths. Ignorance, misinformation, and silence give safe haven to abusers, not their victims.
For example, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops concluded recently that it was a "general conspiracy of silence" that allowed gross child abuse to persist among the Catholic clergy for decades. Time magazine, in reporting on the widespread plague of incest, also cited a "conspiracy of silence" as a factor that "only helps perpetuate the tragedy" in families.
However, Time noted that this conspiracy is crumbling at last. Why? In a word, education. It is as Asiaweek magazine put it: "All experts agree that the best defence against child abuse is public awareness." To defend their children, parents must understand the realities of the threat. Don't be left in the dark by misconceptions that protect child abusers and not children.
Educate Your Child!
