"I would really like to know more about these people. They have to be intelligent people to see their rights and not be bulldozed around by the WTS. If they write a book, it could be good."
As I said on page 2, she must have a very good legal counsel. She knows what to say.
As for the book, I even have a suggestions for a title:
"Workman's Compensation and the Watchtower Society: How we got what is right and YOU can too!" :)

Man, this is really something. Very BIG news, indeed!
I especially like the title that says "Jehovah's loses comp case"... Isn't that ironic?I also like this bit:
"we don't have a spiritual conflict"... "Our problem all along has been medical-legal".
This shows how legally well-advised this woman is. Very, very smart!
It's still to be seen whether or not WT will fight in this "active witness" sister in "Ceasar's" court. It will be interesting to follow developments in this case.
Danny, thank you for the info and please keep us posted.

There has been so many threads on this topic lately that it may qualify for a category of itself...

why do so many religions claim that Jesus is God?
by evergreen inhi everyone, i have often wondered why so many religions view jesus as being god.
every website i look up claiming to be the christian faith strongly believe that this is the case.. i mean the actual trinity doctrine didnt come about untill about the 3rd or 4th century and was originally the catholic church that brought it about.
although jehovahs witnesses seem to push jesus into the background a lot which is something that has always troubled me.

I didn't read all the other posts, but the short answer is: because the Bible says so.
Now, does the Bible say that Jesus is the son of God? YES, it says that too!!!
Go figure... :) -

Online Petition Re Quotes Lawsuit--PLEASE SIGN
by rebel8 inhi everyone and happy new year!
i have an online petition to protest the wt's lawsuit against quotes: http://www.jwinfo.50megs.com/custom4.html .
there are currently 26 signatures from 6 different countries.

"I'm going to sign the petition but I'm just curious as to what you hope to accomplish with it? The lawsuit was already settled and can't be overturned."
I was asking the same question myself: what do you hope to accomplish with it?
I think the WT looked so bad by taking QUOTES down. Just look at the flood of newbies that came after that...
Now, imagine what will happen if WT says: "Oh, people got so upset; we'll allow the site to be restored".
They'll look good!
My opinion is that it is a lot more damming for the WT if we publicize to the four corners of the earth THAT WT HAS TAKEN THE SITE DOWN. The more of that they do, the worse they look.
I am certainly not for harassing rebel8 with PM, but rebel you gotta understand that this is a discussion board. Some people will agree with you; some won't. When one posts, one has to expect debate. -

Two classes of Christians after all?
by Narkissos infirst, as i am just back online, happy new year to everyone!
totally unrelated to the above (or maybe not), it just occurred to me that the unscriptural wt doctrine of "two classes of christians" might have some faint pars veritatis after all as far as the nt is concerned.. of course it is not about "anointed or not," "two hopes," "heaven vs. earth".. yet several segments of early christianity did seem to allow for a huge difference in levels of requirement, vocation, or fate among believers.
on the one hand, the high and hard way of the apostles, disciples, missionaries, evangelists, martyrs; on the other hand, the minimal requirement of the rest.

That's a very interesting discussion, folks. I wish I could add something deep as many of you are able to do.
However, let me add a little bit from a different perspective: when I left the Organization and started reading lots and lots of info from different people bringing different perspectives - some still believers in the Bible, some no longer, I started noticing something that I think plays a big role in Scripture interpretation: TRANSLATION.
I mean, if you're fluent in more than one language, you probably agree that sometimes it becomes a real challenge to translate precisely what was meant in the original writing. There are simply too many nuances that can go mistranslated.
I think this could explain some of the inconsistencies/contradictions we see so often in the gospels and NT writings, examples of which shown by Euphemism above.
Do an experiment one day: if you're fluent in languages A and D, ask someone to translate a less-than-basic text from A to B; ask someone else to translate from B to C; then, ask still someone else to translate from C to D. Don't allow the translators to communicate with one another. Now, read the D text and tell me what you think.
Now imagine the same problem as above, but with dead languages and biased translators. You got the picture.
In one passage, Jesus says "love"; in another, he says "hate". Then you get confused, until an "expert" come along and say "oh, in that second passage the hebrew word is a special case of 'hate' that actually means 'do good'.", and I say "what the heck?"...
I agree with Euphemism: it's an exercise of futility to try to make sense of non-sense.
Can you imagine how OMG and WTF will be translated 2000 years from now? I can just imagine.
