'Search' function doesn't show thread dates in results
by yadda yadda 2 insimon, if you use the search function for a topic or word, you cannot separate out the latest threads on a particular subject from the oldest.. if i wanted to read the latest threads and discussion on the subject of, say, 'generation' i get a huge list of threads with that word in the heading or contents but i cannot tell how old each thread is unless i actually open up the thread.
i don't want to be reading threads that are 5 or 10 years old on a subject like that.. can the date of the threads be shown in search results please.
also, can a function be added to order results chronologically, from newest to oldest.

The term "cult" is problematic as it is highly connotative and emotionally charged.
Here's Merriam-Webster's definition:
cult
noun, often attributive \ ˈ kəlt\
: a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous
We can all imagine that JWs would apply that to many OTHER groups but never themselves.
I like Steven Hassan's BITE Model of Cult Mind Control. He developed this as a means to identify any high-control, destructively authoritarian group.
Read the list as see if it applies to JWs. I think you'll find that the JW religion exhibits most of the behaviors on Hassan's list.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
The corollary is: If it acts like a cult, it's a cult!

So much for our species getting smarter.
We are getting smarter, just not all of us.
This is the REAL meaning of "Left Behind"

It's really hard to hear the JW speaking on the other end of the line. That being said, she really makes him twist in the wind!

In your opinion: What is the average IQ of the Governing Body?
by LogCon ini don't know if this question has been asked before,.
but, in any case,.
based on the comments of the governing body, at various conventions, annual meetings , info-mmercials, etcetara, etcetara, etcetera, [ i loved yule brenner in the king and i],.

Why would anyone think their IQs are above average?
Certainly Stephen Lett's is well below average. There would have to be at least one genius on the GB to counter-balance his obviously low intellect and bring the collective IQ above average. No candidate for that stands out.

New explanation of Gog of Magog: Two Gogs?
by leaving_quietly ini just finished watching the recording of the talk at the annual meeting that re-explains gog of magog.
i caught something not previously talked about, that i can recall.. gog of magog is thought to be a coalition of nations that attach god's people during the great tribulation.
this is from ezekiel 38 & 39.. gog and magog in revelation 20 represents those with the same attitude as gog of magog.. thus, the new teaching (maybe not new, but i'll have to research this) is that gog in ezekiel is not the same as gog in revelation 20. two different gogs, happening about a thousand years apart.. .

Oh my Gog!
They're totally lost without Crazy Freddie Franz.
His ideas were whacked to be sure, but at least they made some kinda' sense. That, and they were interesting.
These guys are just boring, dull, insipid and clearly uninspired!
Let's review: It's a cult!

Their average is below average, to be sure!
That being said, if they got rid of Stephen Lett, their average would get a huge boost!
That guy is sofa king stew pit, I can't believe it.
