was listening to this on youtube today.
check out brother bradford's comment about the picture of the governing body at about the 1:11:38 mark.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk_jnua-ua0.
PHIZZY: If memory serves, this shot of the GB was taken before the death of the guy who sat in the "gap", and was later photo shopped because he had popped off, his image was taken out, Stalin style ???
Right. Isn't "the gap" where Guy Pierce was sitting in the original photo? That's my recollection too.
i think the disfellowshipping abandonement arrangement in human relationships also to be a heavy contributor to this malady:.

BBW, This is an intriguing topic. That being said, I have a request and a suggestion:
How about less Cutting & Pasting and more personal commentary and analysis?
Also, I suggest you try to use reliable primary and secondary sources rather than Wikipedia, because WP is NOT a reliable source.
Thanks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/simulation_hypothesis.
consequences of living in a simulation[edit]some scholars speculate that the creators of our hypothetical simulation may have limited computing power; if so, after a certain point, the creators would have to deploy some sort of strategy to prevent simulations from themselves indefinitely creating high-fidelity simulations in unbounded regress.
This thread is just a reboot of one by Brokeback Watchtower from a couple of years ago:
quick answer: way too much!.
this is something that really gets to me, all the way back to my childhood.
twenty minutes each way, three times a week.
All of it!
so a couple came into the library where i work today and the woman said she was from the british sign language association and asked if i would display a leaflet for her.
when she handed me the leaflet the jw website logo jumped out at me as did the words 'would you like to study the bible with jehovah's witnesses?
' there was a small picture that had someone conversing in sign language but the other pictures were typical jw leaflet pictures.
When did they start telling outright lies?
That goes back to Rutherford st least!
you read that right.
there is a whole talk on the topic.. .

The WT leaders are unrepentant, not ignorant or stupid. Well, Lett is clearly an idiot but the others are willful.

some things of note here, it looks to me that they're encouraging young ones to befriend older people and "people not like them".
could this be because many of the young ones are now leaving?.
And what's with those weird, creepy cartoon characters "smiles"?
It's just off.

Strangely ironic from a cult that insists on extreme conformity.
How can you meet people with "different backgrounds" when everyone is forced to believe the same things, dress the same, no visible tattoos, no beards for me, no stylish haircuts, no interests in "questionable" music or entertainment (whatever the hell that means), and definitely no different religious beliefs.
And it's just bizarre that they would even put this in print:
“Excluding people from your circle of friends could deprive you of rewarding relationships.”
I can solve that in an instant. Abolish institutionalized, coerced shunning. Problem solved.
