Terry: One of your earlier posts was pointing out that all the blame goes onto jehovah for all the wrong dates and stuff in the WT....
My thought is...in that case maybe he should take the IQ test....i dont expect him to be getting any great scores

i have put together a new article regarding whether the global flood of noah is possible.
it utilises a lot of information from threads on jwn, and some of you may recognise your own comments.
please feel free to proof read, make suggestions, provide further references, etc.. http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/flood-noah-global.php.
yes that was my understanding to smiddy

L P - My advice would be to try and write it like an academic article in that i mean any reasonings or conclusion deduced should be referenced to evidence supporting your claim.
LP, the article is not aimed at academics, but rather JW's. If JW's were concerned with academic references, they would not be JW's, since little of what is in the Watchtower is ever properly referenced. If you look at the email that I received, you will see the level of reasoning skills of the average JW reader, who dismisses the entire article because it contradicts a JW article, and one that is not even accurate at that. That is why I have tried to make most pf the points simple and logical, where they can be understood without a need of scientific references. That being said, I have referenced most contentious points made in the article, but have noticed at your suggestion that there are a few more that I should add.
jwfacts: my suggestion only adds to the validity of the article. Not all jws are uneducated. And further my suggestion was not to aim the article at academics or use academic language. One can write a simply logical article in academic style i.e. referenced throughout the article. Doing this adds strength to your article in the scientific community as they can refer to it and it could possibly be recognised. But thats just a suggestion to open up possibilities.

i am really going to miss having her as a close friend.
we both helped each other this past year, as we were both dealing with the passing of people we loved.
she was a strong part of my support group.
my condolances to all those affected

My advice would be to try and write it like an academic article in that i mean any reasonings or conclusion deduced should be referenced to evidence supporting your claim. This way the article reads as though it is supported by evidence and not merely your opinions. Im not saying that in the article these are your opinions, but rather in text referencing shows that at certain points these statements are supported by evidence. It makes it harder for readers to critisize the article..then if they have a question on a certain claim, they can go to the reference and review that.
otherwise good article

hi guys,.
i was just looking through www.reddit.com/r/exjw and there is a thread that was posted about four hours ago with the title "so our circuit overseer just got disfellowshipped" and there some basic details in their op.
the location is given as central coast, australia, which is north of sydney.. there aren't many more details other than "it has sent shockwaves throguh the congregations" and a query on the protocol in situations like this.

Hi Winston,
Can you type the link in? even if you cant post it? Im not really technical so im not up on all this
I have put up a mention of this in a private ex jw group on facebook in Australia, perhaps someone in that group may know someone and be able to confirm this.
My only other thought is jwfacts, he is here in Sydney and im not sure if he has any connections with anyone on the central coast or in bethel still ( i doubt bethel as it is a small place compared to NY). But I will talk to him and find out. He may even see this thread before i talk to him
