  comment: "why should i believe the governing body?".

  witness: "because history shows that they teach the truth and distribute spiritual food at the proper time.".

  comment: "on the contrary, they've made dozens of mistakes throughout their history, huge mistakes that damaged other people's lives and happiness.".

  Comment,

  Execllent. I'd like to suggest a slightly different but equivalent ending;

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  1. NonWit: "Why should I believe the Governing Body?"

  1(a.) Wit: "Because history shows that they teach the truth and distribute spiritual food at the proper time."

  2. NonWit: "On the contrary, they've made dozens of mistakes throughout their history, huge mistakes that damaged other people's lives and happiness."

  2(a.) Wit: "They are imperfect men. Even the apostles had wrong expectations at times."

  3. NonWit: "But the apostles didn't enforce the shunning of others who chose to disagree with them, especially on matters for which there were no definite Scriptural principles."

  3(a.) Wit: "We need to maintain unity in the congregation."

  4. NonWit: "Unity in what?"

  4(a.) Wit: "Beliefs and procedures."

  5. NonWit: "And who decides what those beliefs and procedures should be?"

  5(a.) Wit: "The Governing Body"

  hawkaw,.

  i've seen the scan of paul hoeffel's fax over at kent's website.

  if i understand it correctly, you created the scanned jpg and sent that file to kent and others.. i'd like to suggest something to improve the credibility of this thing - namely, to create a higher quality jpg from the original document.

  Mac,

  This is the link but I can't get the whole thing to go blue so you need to paste it in. You also need to register but it's anonymous. The aim is to flood the board but by trying to work the UN Jw thing in with other posters' comments. That way it doesn't stay an isolated topic. I'm trying to be a bit confrontational also in some threads...just to stir up interest.

  Guys, we gotta Advertize, Advertize, Advertize the Whore and her lover, whoops, ex-lover, over at the NYT board. Mommy's doing a great job, but we need more. Also, some faithful dubs defending the faith would do no harm too! Theocratic warfare is needed.

  thats right, the co along with one of the local elders paid an unexpected visit to my wife and i this morning.

  i was just busting at the seam to bring up the un fiasco but i refrained as they do not know i have made my journey to the darkside.

  my wife just glared with the "looks that kill" as they spewed the usual "time is near better not persue a career" line and i should be providing "spiritually" for the family.

  Ah! The old "in view of the times shouldn't you really ...." Amazing how that works. Worked before 1975 and now there are a bunch of middle aged JWs who are still scratching to make a living because they forsook a career to pioneer/go to jail/go to Bethel/or just did nothing because that was better than doing something "in the world", all "in view of the times." Sucks.

  along similar lines - any chance of getting a physical original from the UN or is it only the fax?
