Job was obviously quite eloquent and had heard of hyperbole. Which is more than can be said for the feckless idiots posing as scholars in the WT writing department.

Skin of My Teeth
by WhatshallIcallmyself inan evidence for divine origin that has often been used (at least to me) is where job describes "...escap[ing] with the skin of my teeth".
science is quoted as having discovered that teeth are covered in skin and therefore how would job have known something that modern science has only just discovered.
i was reminded of this at this weeks meeting when this verse was quoted but was surprised when a commenter said how it wasn't necessary to mention this in light of other "evidence" in the bible.

Out on Facebook
by disillusioned 2 ini am just venting because my sister has put on facebook that i am no longer "in the truth"!
i have kept a very low profile for years and have silently faded.
many witnesses i have bumped into are very friendly towards me, some from other congregations may not even be aware that i dont go anymore.

Post that you were JUST considering coming to a meeting very soon but you felt a bit embarrassed and apprehensive. You had just built up the courage to do it but this has destroyed you forever and you'll never be able to now. -

Similar things in West Yorkshire.
Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton, Mirfield have 3 halls between them and I think 2 are being sold, congs amalgamated into 2 and sharing 1 hall.

The JW Spin - why governments and opposers should let jws handle abusers themselves
by Robo Bobo ini came across this blog - it is one of the evilest things i've ever read.. http://dismythed.blogspot.com/2016/02/flip-side-news-opposers-want-ex.html.
you might not want to click on it because a) you'll give it more traffic and b) it will make you mad.
in summary it states that since only 11-17% of molesters are repeat offenders, witnesses guilty of abuse should be dealt with inside the congregation as long as they confess.

How can they possibly know that the abuser has 'never reoffended'? -

by stephanie61092 in"you don't go to church in a kingdom hall" was stated during the public talk yesterday.
the speaker then elaborated that "people who go to church, go to fulfill a spiritual obligation.
coming to the kingdom hall is coming to learn.

I just LOVE the way they can miraculously read the hearts and minds of millions of people who go to churches other than theirs. It truly is a gift they have. -
