Remember the two elderly sisters?
by John Aquila inabout a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.
if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.
here is the link.

What is an apostate, according to Geoffrey Jackson (GB member)
by opusdei1972 inthis is what i found in the transcript related to the date august 14 2015 (royal comision of australia):.
18 q. and if they don't actively disassociate, then they 19 will be disfellowshipped as apostate?
20 a. no, an apostate is someone who actively goes against 21 what the bible teaches.. this is a half true.

Regardless, he is guilty by association. It would be nice to interview all of them one after another, during the same investigation.

Geoffrey Jackson's Amnesia at the Royal Commission!
by The Searcher inat 20:00 - 21:30 in his testimony, mr. geoffrey jackson - in answer to mr. stewart's question about the governing body claiming to be god's spokespersons - claimed that it would be presumptuous of them to say that they were the only spokespersons which god was using.
mr. jackson doesn't seem to know what he and his fellow g.b.
members - and the providers of his lifestyle, the wtbts - actually teach as "bible truth.

One Jdub said Jackson was acting like Jesus and not saying where he got his authority from.
The irrational part of such a statement, is that Jesus never published billions of magazines and books saying he was the son of god

I do know of a similar case in our old circuit where a couple of brothers bought a car for a disadvantaged family. Interesting that it was not organized by the Cong or by the Elders and neither of the brothers who were so generous held any position in the Cong. In fact, I don't know if they are even active any longer.
4 years ago, my wife and I lost our jobs due to the bad economy.We were in a new state, no close family around and were struggling. The Jdubs that truly helped us with food, shelter and money were the ones considered spiritually weak. The low level publishers are usually the more sincere and loving. On a side note, out of all 8 elders at the time, only 1 brought us some food.

Won't get fooled again ...Moon Landing.
by The Rebel inso i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

Viviane, I say "but" because many professionals have the pressure to produce, produce, and if you fall behind on any given project the stream of money gets dried up quick. When I say they have an agenda, I'm not talking about a conspiracy to take over the world, blah, blah, blah. A better word would be "goal", they have their goals and in occasions may favor certain experiments or reports in order to keep the different Nasa programs alive.
Back to the moon landing topic.
This is what I was reading a few days ago explaining the Van Allen Belt:
The Van Allen belts are full of deadly radiation, and anyone passing through them would be fried.
Needless to say this is a very simplistic statement. Yes, there is deadly radiation in the Van Allen belts, but the nature of that radiation was known to the Apollo engineers and they were able to make suitable preparations. The principle danger of the Van Allen belts is high-energy protons, which are not that difficult to shield against. And the Apollo navigators plotted a course through the thinnest parts of the belts and arranged for the spacecraft to pass through them quickly, limiting the exposure.
The Van Allen belts span only about forty degrees of earth's latitude -- twenty degrees above and below the magnetic equator. The diagrams of Apollo's translunar trajectory printed in various press releases are not entirely accurate. They tend to show only a two-dimensional version of the actual trajectory. The actual trajectory was three-dimensional. The highly technical reports of Apollo, accessible to but not generally understood by the public, give the three-dimensional details of the translunar trajectory.
Each mission flew a slightly different trajectory in order to access its landing site, but the orbital inclination of the translunar coast trajectory was always in the neighborhood of 30°. Stated another way, the geometric plane containing the translunar trajectory was inclined to the earth's equator by about 30°. A spacecraft following that trajectory would bypass all but the edges of the Van Allen belts.
This is not to dispute that passage through the Van Allen belts would be dangerous. But NASA conducted a series of experiments designed to investigate the nature of the Van Allen belts, culminating in the repeated traversal of the Southern Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly (an intense, low-hanging patch of Van Allen belt) by the Gemini 10 astronauts.
How can we test this explanation to determine its validity? our only source is Nasa when it comes to explaining this... that's where gets complicated to me.

Although I'm skeptical, but boy do they give you good answers... if you want to be honest you just can't deny all the evidence they give us. I won't deny the Pluto pictures are awesome! I can't deny the planets around us are spheres and not flat, and I will not believe the earth is the center of the universe. But Nasa has their own agenda and we cannot forget that we are biased creatures by nature. -

Well, in my search for truth I found a real good explanation as to why we can't just point the hublle to the moon and see the landers.
Like DJS said: None of the empiricists would suggest that NASA is our god and that we shouldn't use multiple sources, which we have done. Overandovernadoverandoverandover. And over

Nasa are Nasholes and the government wants to control our lives. I don't have to believe and will not believe 100% of what Nasa feeds us on a daily basis, they have too much at risk to talk openly about their mistakes.
We know very little about the enclosure we find ourselves living in and have many new things to discover. I have the right to doubt what they claim and their is nothing wrong with doubting.

DJS SAID: These were highly educated and trained individuals. To believe your nonsense every one of them would have had to been in on the conspiracy and the cover-up. AND maintained that silence for decades. You make grandiose claims, definitive statements and refer to conspiracy theorist websites and data posted by mommy basementers. with nothing but a high school diploma and mommy's internet account, as you evidence.
Talk about name calling! So much for having an open mind.
