JWs "Significant Re-Adjustment" What ...
by Francois inbibleexaminer has started a thread in the bible research section that deals with a "re-adjustment" in watchtower interpretation.
since this re-adjustment is a completely different explanation of the scripture concerning the "disgusting thing standing in a holy place..." the term re-adjustment is deceitful - like calling a 44 magnum bullet through the guts a flesh wound.
this is another jw dodge as it attempts to adjust its teachings to something more serviceable in a changing world.. this "re-adjustment" is of course only one of the very many instances of doctrinal flip-flops, theological u-turns, and gravity-defying examples of basic jw instability.

Use Racketeering laws against Snare & Racket?
by JanH informer students at hare krishna schools are suing the religious movement for massive physical and sexual abuse, using the racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations statute.
that is effectively an anti-mob law created to take down mafia front end organizations, as far as i understand it.. it will be interesting if this can pull through.
can set a precedent for similarly abusive religions.. see http://www.salon.com/people/feature/2001/07/02/krishna/index_np.html.

Note To Lucky Lady
by Francois inin a post down a bit you said, "why has'nt farkel and francisco been kicked off this forum yet.
when translated into english this asks, "why haven't farkel and {francois, that being my name, dummy} been kicked off this forum yet?
" (since this is a question, you will note that it requires the use of that squiggley thing at the end, better known as a question mark.

To Stinky Pantz
by Francois inhi stinky, and thanks for your reply to my post earlier about what's eating at me.
i mean to reply to your reply, but since i've been going hard at it since five-thirty this morning, and it's almost eight o'clock now, i'm going to wait until tomorrow to reply.
i wouldn't think of dashing of a thoughtless reply to your post under the circumstances i described, or as dog-tired as i am right now.. i've read almost every post you've written since you showed up on this site and by and large i've thought that you had a pretty good head on your shoulders.

Church Takes A Nap
by Francois inafter all the talk, and public breast-beating, and mea culpas, and the traveling cardinals, and the meetings with the peep, and on and on, the catholic church has essentially come to a lurching halt right at the brink of progress on the issue of pedophilic priests.. and get this huge dodge: since most of the abusees were of adolescent age, what happened wasn't "true" pedophilia.
now they're quibbling over the definition of pedophilia.
if the abusee is past puberty, then it ain't pedophilia.

Is It Really Jehovah?
by Francois ini remember going from door-to-door using a standard canned presentation.
this particular one included the line that we worshipped a god who had a name.
this was before my own critical thinking facilities progressed beyond the germinal stage.
