  its a personal pet peeve to me but i hate it when ex jws use the catch phrase friends.

  But if you left this group why would you keep some of its catch phrases?

  Interesting, I guess I’d forgotten how they refer to their gatherings as the “friends”.

  Now I think about it, since leaving the Borg I haven’t come across any other group or association referring to themselves as the friends.

  I guess it’s another part of their closed shop terminology along with such words as “the Truth” and “the Organisation”.

  NCC:

  My guess is your screen name is meant to be ironic.

  Not exactly. In fairness to our worthy combatant, he has maintained such a scholarly approach on this forum these past 21 years.

  I remember well his first appearance on the forum and I admit I doubted his claims but now, all these years later, I must acknowledge his endurance, his consistency and tenacity.

  Of course, he knows I don’t share his views of Witness theology, I myself am convinced of more orthodox Christian theology.

  Nonetheless, our ‘colleague’ has my admiration and respect.

  Footnote:

  Just so you’re clear, I consider the whole 1914 thing to be bunkum.

  Cheers,

  they know that World War I was timed with the birth of God’s kingdom in the heavens,

  Perhaps we need that “clarified” ! 😉😎

  Will we hear ?

  Overlapping prostitutes. "I didn't sleep with many! It was just an overlapping one!"

  New positions ?

  He doesn’t want to analyze doctrines, does he?

  I think he has tried in the past but he faces the problem that, since he has no belief in the Scriptures’ historicity nor any proclaimed belief, he’s stuck with just dismissing the whole basis of belief.

  As has been previously mentioned some pages back (I think!), his channel is now presenting a JW v Atheism challenge alone. Of course, it’s not that simple and PIMOs are working through a myriad of aspects to belief.

  IMHO a forum like this (than you Simon!) has far more substantive value. We can be informed and challenged every step of the way.

  Well that’s my .05 cents worth 😎
