But it is a question of paramount importance, the moment you attribute a quality to nothing, more than a perfect vacuum, can it still be defined as nothing? how can a nothing condition with the potential to unleash the energy/mass/ spacetime of our universe have been nothing?

The new Fred Franz?
by careful inof course, no one could ever fully replace "our oracle for over 50 years" (ray franz quoting karl klein or someone else on the gb back in the days of gb i in cofc somewhere ), but i have to wonder just who on gb ii has come to fill fred franz's shoes the most.
it seems like it is david splane.
he appears to be in charge of the writing department, proposes and pushes thru the gb most of the doctrinal changes (he announces them so they're his baby), and like ff, fancies himself musically inclined.

looking at the personalities, Franz on one occasion gave a speech in Yankee stadium, affirming that jws should not give their pets blood transfusion treatments. , had he been challenged on that, he might have laughed it off, IMO, David Splane would take any challenge more personal and react accordingly. Franz never struck me as a power figure, remember sitting alone on stage while talking to my toddler daughter. . The"I am the boss" aura never left D. Splane, although Franz was closer to the pinnacle the than any of the 1/7 . -

Blondie quote:"-- Though the man Adam had the feminine properties divided from him --" wow,
that should give comfort to the LGBT crowd, and all wt illustration are wrong, Adam the perfect bachelor should have a much more effeminate look, a cross between Samson and Delilah a few threads back. And anyone who ever had his genitals tampered with, will really object to this penis conjecture. A rib is closer to the really romantic heart than the crass hormone driven lower based sexuality, and less painful --- POST! Script-- why would the most male feature be used to make the masterpiece the female? more reasonable to make an incission under the breast, the nearly female. after all ,it is used for augmentation even these days.

In his pre-Brooklyn days David Splane was very focussed on his ideas, known to give talks comprising concept he had singled out. and given with an aura that indicated he was convinced they had an holy standing, delivered in a hushed kind of way. Music is good too, think of what movie scenes would be like without the music setting the tone. Will he achieve a breakthrough to emerge dominant like Frederick the great? it is a different ball game to work in a committee? On doctrine? I have the feeling he would love to have a fresh start, not to have to repair the flawed framework Franz bequeathed on him. Artifacts to his studiousness exist. remember too, to bethel he is an outsider, did not the Frances come up the Bethel ranks? -

Thinking about disassociating yourself - STOP!...at least for a moment
by rory-ks in(this recent forum post about a letter of disassociation encouraged me to post this new topic.
it's been sitting in my drafts folder for a little while, but now is as good a time as any.).
my suggestion would be, try not to go down the route of disassociation.

Disassociation is a wt weasel word for disfellowshipping, when some jw enrolls in the military for example. so, after reading all the good pro and con arguments made here, do you still want to do it? a good, must read this thread. -

The moment nothing is something, how can it be said that it is still nothing? , or ever was ? -

On the Yearbook's Report(Again)
by Alex Bryant inhello.
i have a question about the number of publishers reported on the yearbook.
i was wondering if this number refers only to the number of publishers baptized or to the overall number of publisher(baptized & not baptized).

Even dfd people come to the memorial plus all the submariners, and then some partake when they get home, or also when out on the town. Even the apostles did not got the count right, 11.12 or 13? if you count in Jesus, who did not drink that cup , but if he did he would be the only anointed to do so, the other had an earthly hope, and were served. Remember the count that David did, a costly affair. so, count me out.
Publisher count is flat, partaker count doubles every 10 years. cheers.

It appears, that whenever "nothing" is discussed in the beginning of the universe context, it turns out, not to be an empty nothing, but filled with all kinds of neat phenomenae, even time..
