Notice the weasel word, "apparently". The same word they use to excuse the bible contradiction of how Judas died.

Does an "all knowing" God have the leisure of choosing not to know something?
by wannabefree inthis concept just always caused a conflict in my mind.
i can remove the idea of predestination with knowing something in advance, why would the watch tower insist that god chooses not to know something?
is that even possible for god?

Any successful methods to discreetly reach out to someone who is studying?
by sseveninches inmy father had me go with him to do a study, and the guy looked like he's a pretty smart guy, and he was asking legitimate questions that i had my own answers to, but of course i couldn't say them.. i'm wondering if anyone has successfully been able to convince/warn anyone that they're getting sucked into a cult.
i wanted to just secretly slip him a note, but i'm always scared to do that from fear of the person throwing me under the bus.
then i got the idea of sending him a text message from a number that can't be traced back to me.

It seems that the general consensus is that I should try to contact him. He's been studying for several weeks now, and he's in chapter 8 in the bible teach book. I was planning to direct his attention to JWfacts, so that he can get his questions answered. He was asking about who will be saved, and others along those lines.

I put the numbers into my calculator, and left out the figure for 2008 since it strays too much from the pattern of the years following it. I did both a linear regression and and an exponential regression. The data fits the exponential regression better than the linear regression.
So if this continues this way for the next 5-10 years, the WT will have a serious problem on their hands.

I can only see two purposes for this article: to guilt trip people who are doubting to stay in the organization, and to reorient their attention towards the 'carrot': paradise earth.

God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites - What does the bible REALLY teach?
by irondork inthat is why god gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature;and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.
romans 1:26,27.

There's a lot of ignorance in this thread. First of all, I've stopped believing in the bible, so I don't care if homosexuality is condemned or not, but I certainly appreciate irondork's posts... I've been saving every one of them.
'The gay lifestyle is a lot more promiscuous and depraved'... this is a very tired argument and couldn't be further from the truth. The amount of sex that goes on in your typical straight guy's world is about the same for a typical gay guy. This argument just attempts to associate the entire gay community with one subset. Also, being gay is only as much of a lifestyle as being straight is. It's just a sexual orientation... one facet of one's life.
'Effeminate, in your face, etc.' - also another tired argument. My parents don't know I'm gay, and all my friends do. I don't act any differently with my friends than I do with my parents. And yet my parents don't have a clue. Many other people that I know don't know I'm gay. So much for the 'in your face' part. I'm not effeminate either... not because I don't want to be, but it's just not the way I naturally am. How many people do you interact with everyday? Do you know which ones are gay and which aren't? You don't, but you probably have an idea... most likely based on stereotypes created by ignorant people like yourselves. And I bet those whom you think are gay aren't gay at all. I say this from experience.

The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah- What does the bible REALLY teach?
by irondork inas with most doctrines, the belief that the bible condemns homosexuality is multi-layered and allegedly supported by several scriptures.
when he raised his eyes he got to see the man, the traveler, in the public square of the city.
let me bring them out, please, and you rape them and do to them what is good in your eyes.

The irony and hypocrisy in this article was so much, it hurt...
One of the highlights for me was when the guys in the concentration camp had a bible, and it wasn't enough... they needed a WT publication. So disgusting.

I'm glad too. I hate close calls... I don't want to be exposed like that until I'm ready. But your situation is potentially much worse than mine.
