Bill Bowen's Use of "Fake Precision"
by Psychdigg in
1. jw
2. friends
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.

JW's are an unknown fringe group

i went to a dinner party tonight that had about 100 people, all non jws.

laughter and merriment and a good time was had by all.. these were good honest hard working people who have no clue as to what jws believe or that they are going to be judged according to whether they believe like witnesses do.. it impressed on my mind just how unknown witnesses are and how little people pay any attention to their message.. witnesses think they are the center of the universe.

non-witnesses don't even think about them at all.. joel

Hey all I invite you to a little experiment.......
by JPandelo in
1. jw

as i am sure most of you know my parents were told they were to be disfellowshipped by roger eisenhuth and steve stripling over the telephone today.

yes we know they were disfellowshipped for apostasy however, is'nt it curious that they were not provided an explanation for how the elder body came to their decision.

i personally think that it is something that is truly deserving of an answer.

To: Psychdigg - What about the Children?
by Amazing in
1. jw
2. friends
psychdigg: i just got on the board again and saw your post about bill bowen.. in typical jw-style you attack the person rather than the issue of child molestation.

your quote of one of bill's posts in your thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=27390&site=3 is not at all valid evidence of bill being vengeful, or losing perspective - but rather he points out the shear hypocrisy of the watchtower so-called system of justice.

a system that is wholly unchristian and uncivil by any reasonable standard of measurement ... except maybe with radical extremists groups.. against the normally wise comments of kismet regarding ignoring people who jump out with personal attacks as you have done, i have decided on a different course.

Stupid or Smart move by Watchtower?
by Beans in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
do you think it was stupid or smart for the watchtower to call brother bowen and the others in before this scandal goes very public.

this theocratic warfare i believe was a stupid move if you look at the situation from a jw perspective.. beans.
