  Honesty: I believe the cult has a lot to do with the problems in my dysfunctional family.

  This is one belief with which I would agree!

  Discussion forum: Communication tips...

  re-reading my last thread ".... my former faith, islam and tolerance" i can see my o.p failed to clarify the specific point i wished to debate.

  ( ironically i thought most posters were off topic).. now it occurd to me that i have joined this " discussion forum" but i have no former exsperience on discussion forums.

  (a very sad realization having been here a year).

  NHAH: I think my threads are more about learning than teaching now.

  Good.

  I'm glad you've realized that we often do NOT communicate the message we think we sent!

  Their names are all four letter words.

  CL: Someone out there please tell me I wasn't the only biblically-challenged-know-it-all in the orginization.

  You weren't.

  The WTBTS likes to make it's members believe they are "bible scholars" when the fact it, most aren't even all that knowledgeable about what JWs believe.

  Of course, it's pretty hard to keep up with the constant doctrinal changes and the vast number of extra-biblical policies and practices.

  Just the other day, a born-in JW in his late 20s confided to me that he'd really like to grow a beard. I asked him why he didn't. He said, "You know, privileges and parts on the podium [sic]."

  I asked him, "Do you even know why JWs don't grow beards?"

  He, not too surprisingly, said, "Uhh, no. Not really!"

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  Why can they not be open, transparent?

  Because then we'd be able to see the man behind the curtain!

  Awake January 2015: How did life begin? - More misquotes

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  [quote]some might assume that a scientifically-minded person would pick evolution and that a religious person would pick creation.

  but not always.. rama singh, professor of biology at canadas mcmaster university, says: the opposition to evolution goes beyond religious fundamentalism and includes a great many people from educated sections of the population.[/quote].

  end-of-quote in awake.

  From the Petition:

  10. The Watchtower Defendants are so organized and controlled, and their affairs are so conducted, that they are the alter egos of Watchtower and operate as a sole business enterprise. Accordingly, all Defendants are agents and servants of each other and are vicariously liable for each other’s acts.

  11. Through its hierarchical structure, the Governing Body assumes complete control over and responsibility for the selection, development, protection, and discipline of members, including children. To further its goals, the Governing Body authorizes male members to develop relationships of trust with women, children, and families, and to assume the role of counselor for any problems or issues that arise, including claims of abuse or molestation.

  "we can count on Jehovah to execute those ones, so we don't have to"

  So the Muslim fanatics are now working for Jehovah! Is that it?

  These fools couldn't think their way out of a paper back with a blowtorch and a razor knife.
