    If the rank and file members of Jehovah’s Witnesses reject the Watchtower's thinking on Bible doctrine in some way, they are considered Apostate.
    Yet The Governing Body of J.Ws, themselves have rejected teachings of previous Governing Body members who have long since died and have proceeded to change interpreatation on things many times over,from Russell to Fred Franz.

    Guess what they call it..........APOSTASY?
    No, this is called NEW LIGHT.

    Hello Radar,

    thanks for your words...of simple TRUTH!

    Victor: I do like your answer. Here we do say something

    very similar: " ...NEW KING...NEW LAWS "!

    I agree with you Mac.....truth, in it's simplest form...broken down from a compound into a basic element. If only JW's could see this. How could I explain this to a JW, who is currently having a difficult time in the org? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    My Regards,

    Operating in a vacuum totally devoid of criticism, the one thing these buggers excel at is the ability to rationalize anything. Cognitive dissonace in their specialty.

    I'd call it 'false memory' syndrome.

    Hello Radar,

    The king, (borg masters), does not need to justify his decisions to his subjects, (R&F), the subjects just need to obey!

    There's a line from "The Matrix" that describes what the borg masters have created for the R&F;

    A prison...for your mind!

    Radar,

    So we are not apostates. We are "New Lighters"!

    Bugger, and I've just become a Last Thursdayist.

    Englishman - your animated character is new right? Love it - although after watching it, had to rush out at lunch and down a pint of Guiness.

    Redhook brewery makes a double black stout that has Starbucks coffee brewed in it. Tasty stuff.
    Salud!

    When it comes to ales, stouts, etc., the darker and nastier the better!
