Thank for the stats, Freddo.
Out of these 10, I wonder how many were born-in's compared to converts contacted in the ministry?

Apostate - what does the word mean to you?
by Tallon inover a period of time i got to thinking - what does the word 'apostate' mean to me.
having given it some thought, this is my view;.
the org has given the word its own definition and basically use it to demonise people and consider them pariahs.. however, the jw meaning of 'apostate' is a mere word and only has power if recognised as such.

However, the JW meaning of 'Apostate' is a mere word and only has power if recognised as such. They can label you all they want because they've given power to that word. Now here is the clincher: you don't have to accept the power and meaning they've given it, and what is more, you sure as hell don't have to hide from it either!
What do you think?

Elon Musk causing an uproar on Twitter
by Tallon inelon musk has called one of the thai cave rescue divers a 'paedo' on twitter.. this could prove to be a very costly post should the diver sue him for defamation.. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/15/elon-musk-british-diver-thai-cave-rescue-pedo-twitter.

@ _Morpheus
Yep, I've just read about his apology however, I think this is too little too late.
I read somewhere that he has a sizeable following on Twitter, so that paedo accusation went far and wide. I think he is beginning to realise just how huge a mistake he made. If that diver does sue for defamation, he will lose a lot more than money; his reputation will take a huge hit too.

Be Couragous! - (Like The Governing Body?)
by pale.emperor ini was watching lloyd evans rebuttal to the saturday program of the be courageous convention.
lloyd pointed out something that had occurred to me as well:.
all this talk and examples of courage, whether it be standing up in class defending intelligent design, putting up with being imprisoned, not running away from bullies, always having a reply to someone who tries to ridicule your faith... the young ones are encourages - nay, commanded - to stand their ground and be courageous.

Great discussion, PE.
Certain members of the GB have shown their true colours when it came to standing up for their faith - cowards.

It appears that the rescue diver is giving serious consideration to taking legal action.

Years ago I did a SCUBA Diving course. I enjoyed diving at the time, which took place in open water, but I don't dive anymore.
Cave diving is a totally different ball game. The divers who brought those boys and their coach out are absolute heroes in my book. To qualify as a scuba diver involves a lot of training. Those divers somehow had to convince the boys, which according to a news article some of them haven't even learnt how to swim yet, that everything will be okay.
Kudos to all involved with the rescue and condolences to the friends and family of the Thai Navy Diver who lost his life (ran out of air) whilst trying to rescue those boys.
