having been involved in a few online debates with jw's lately, i've realised that no matter how devastatingly logical your argument is, a jw will never accept it.
i began thinking it's obvious this is the conditioning at work and that hiding from cognitive dissonance is their survival method to preserve there beliefs.. however, what are the component parts of this "we're never wrong" attitude?
i started thinking back and i seemed to remember a lot of instances in the publications or talks such as:-.
They are very interesting results black sheep, thanks for posting them.
It kinda refutes the claim that the WBTS are not dogmatic in their beliefs.
why are men petrified of the color pink?
would you, as a man, ever wear anything pink, say a pink polo shirt, with a pair of faded blue jeans?
although a bit out of the ordinary for most men, the artist in me ask, what is it with the very sexist colour of pink?
The Nazi's during WW2 labelled homosexual's in concentration camps with a pink triangle. I'm not sure if that's where the pink = feminine thing came from but pre-20th century colours didn't seem to be gender specific at all.
I have a few pink shirts & tops, I even have some pink jeans. We're just doing our bit to defeat nazism, right guys
looks a real stunner imho.
22 wheels?
wow!
I think it's a pretty cool plane. There should be room in the market for both the A380 and the Boeing project if the forecasted stats for airtravel in the future are correct.
I have a suspicion though that your choice of ticket on the A380 will either be a cheapo ticket on a cramped flight with 800 other passengers or a very expensive ticket with cocktail lounges and internet bars and nothing in between.

when is a personal choice not a personal choice?
when it's hobson's choice.. .
dictionary.com defines hobson's choice as this:.
Good point about married couples lilbit. That's the trouble with making hard and fast rules is everyone has different circumstances and there'll be loopholes when the rule is analyzed. Instead of making things clearer it causes confusion and then people, yes even dubs, think it's a stupid rule and ignore it. I don't think the org. will ever learn though.
It makes me laugh when the org put all these rules in the WT or KM etc and then qualify it all by saying they are not being dogmatic and they are only suggestions. The mere fact it's in print in publications supposedly inspired by God's word that are meant to be guiding the congs means that they are being dogmatic. If they are only suggestions keep them to yourself or just tell your friends that it might be a good idea if we did this or that. If the assemblies are wonderful places with a great united brotherhood then people will want to stay on campus or just nip out to the local Wendy's and proudly wear their name badge. The fact that JW's don't means that a lot of them are sick of being bullied in matters of personal decision.
the Watchtower Public Policy Program forbids you, a grown adult, to pop over to Wendy's for a cheeseburger.I'm thinking the WBTS has shares in Wendy's as well as all those Kool-aid shares. Not exactly a balanced diet is it.
the one constant in life.
there is only one significant constant in life and that constant is simply: we all die.
no matter how successful we become, we will die.
Great piece Farkel, as always
He tells us that little kids would play over the lair of the asp. So far this sounds like the plot in a typical Disney or Warner Bros. Cartoon
If the asp had hypnotic eyes and a rabbit in a dress whacked it full in the face with a frying pan then that's a paradise I wanna be in!
let's hear the weirdest comment or suppossed logical thought you've ever heard a witness say.. i'll start: out in service once a sis and her son were in the same car group as i was.
he was having a nose bleed and told his mom that the blood was running down the back of his throat.
his mother said " well don't swallow it yo uknow how jehovah feels about blood don't you!".
Brother: "If homosexuality was an accepted form of sexuality, we would see it in nature."
Actually homosexuality is seen in nature in apes, monkeys, giraffes, mice... in fact most species. Even plants have homosexual tendencies.
i stopped all jw activity on june 12, 1996. my 18th birthday.
i made arrangements to stay with some friends and they even lined me up a summer job.
i snuck out in the middle of the night and left my parents a note.
I've been out 3 years. It feels like 3 months though.. I wish it hadn't passed so fast.
