  One or more elders might be thinking they can go back to the Court with the cast-iron defence of,

  'Your Honour, the reason we didn't produce those records after all was because we discovered that they'd been destroyed. No, we don't know who did it. I can go now, right?'

  The Saddest Thing About Tony Morris's Removal

  by NotFormer in

  i've mentioned before how i've wondered how tony morris must have felt when he was sacked.

  yes, i know he's a rehensible human being who got served a healthy dose of karma, or, if you like, divine judgement.

  to go from having all there is to have within the world he lived in, to where he is now; that's a long fall.

  What the heck did he do??
  

  Since his departure, there have been some radical changes in doctrine and policy that I think Tony Morris would never have approved of. He was standing in the way of Jehovah's chariot and got run over, so to speak.

  This debunks itself, but I feel that some of the players in this game have their own agendas that this serves. How's that for a conspiracy theory?

  Repeated for emphasis: This debunks itself!

  Another example is the Hollies' 'The Air that I Breathe', a recognisable chord progression of which turned up as part of Radiohead's 'Creep', followed by Lana del Rey's 'Get Free' which contains pretty much a recognisable everything from 'Creep'. There were quite different attitudes to the accusations of plagiarism by each of the alleged copiers!

  dbm writes on the question: will sodomites get a resurrection?.

  i guess it depends the date that you asked this question.

  here is a screenshot from a video which gives an overview of the changes (new light) on this question:.

  Oh no! They took away our fantasy of revenge on the whole world, cheated us of delivering a hard-hitting judgement message, but at least we can still be dogmatic about not being dogmatic!

  Brothers, let us all set a half-hourly alarm to remind us to check jw.org before making any statement about anything. Just in case...

  "Watchtower" vs Jehovah's Witnesses

  by NotFormer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  rattigan350, whenever someone brings up the failings of the organisation we refer to as "the watchtower", tries to define the argument away by saying that the watchtower is a corporate entity and has very little to do with the kingdom halls, the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. could someone who knows their stuff please explain if this is a false dichotomy, using the literature which is used by r&f jws, if possible?.

  it gets kind of tiresome when someone makes a point about something that the watchtower said and mr. apologist comes along and tries to define away what is usually a very good point..

  In other words, any one of the individual heads of this beast can deny responsibility for anything the beast says or does.
