There have been 2995 Replies on this thread. I’m just waiting around to be here when we hit 3000. Will there be a prize for number 3000?

The title of Cedars’ book, “The Reluctant Apostate”, made it sound like he was saying that he didn’t want to be an apostate, but he had to be, or that he was forced to be an apostate. I didn’t buy or read his book. Was there anything in the book that explained what he meant by that title?

People “whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron” just confabulate “what’s right and what’s wrong” as they go along. They don’t seem to care if they end up contradicting themselves, as long as they can keep coming up with justifications for whatever they want to do.

I think we can all take solace in knowing that this is the person who thinks there is something wrong with us.

“...you don't get to keep repeating a debunked a claim or derail a thread with off-topic comments.”
Thank you, Simon. I believe Jojorabit’s dissertation on logical reasoning deserves its own thread somewhere else,... ANYWHERE else. Some of us have actually gone to college, studied Logic, and gotten an “A” in Logic.

NonCoinCollector, yes. I, too, think Cedars should look for a new secular job.

“I guess they like having him live rent free in their head. I don't get it. This is a stupid obsession.”
I’ve “met” some good people here. It’s the internet. We don’t live physically in each other’s neighborhood. Mostly, we’ve either been JWs or have family members who are JWs. And mostly, we watched Cedars’ videos because he seemed to have his finger on the pulse of what was happening with Watchtower. Four months ago, this rather entertaining man told us he has been treating his beautiful little wife in a terrible way. And then, he defended and justified that treatment of her. Yes, this story has captured our attention. I’m glad I’m not the only one who believes a wife shouldn’t be treated this way. Those who participate in this discussion thread are “interested” in the story. I don’t believe that the participants in this discussion thread have an “obsession” with the story. And, further, I believe that most of the participants in this discussion want to see the story end with repentance and a “turning around” by the wrongdoer.

Las Malvinas Son Argentinas,
When a husband decides to do something wrong and does it, he is the person responsible for his own action.

silentlamb_silent_no_more, I need to ask a favor (off-topic to this thread and forum). I’ve tried to post twice over on the discussthetruth website, and neither of my posts have “posted”. Moderator approval of my post was required, and I was supposed to receive an email when my post “posted”. I don’t think I broke any protocol in my comment. Maybe the moderator is on vacation? Anyway, would you mind, please, posting a small, innocent comment over there to see if your comment gets approved and posts? And let me know what happens?

Opps! I’m sorry I misspelled your name, Marc. And it’s too late now for me to fix it. This forum gives a time-limit for making corrections.
