For Faders anti-DA tactic ??
by wobble inif,like me,you wish to fade only,because of family "in" etc.
if you were threatened with being da'd ,but you still believe in god,you could try this:.
say that if they announce that you are no longer a jehovah.s witness you will sue the three elders on the jc for slander as you still witness about almighty god,and you cherish your reputation.. reckon this would work????.

Why would ALMIGHTY god need a Flood?
by wobble inleaving out all the obvious problems with a global flood,why would almighty god need a flood at all,with its attendant problems of gathering animals and building arks etc.when he obviously had the power just to destroy the "wicked" and just leave noah and family alive.. after all he destroyed just the first born in egypt (what had they done to offend him?
) so why not just snuff out who he wants to,why a flood?.
come on fundies tell me!.

What do you think of the Wise Men NOW!
by wobble ini have just been watching the carols and readings from kings college cambridge,england, bloody marvellous!.
a couple of times they have referred to the visit of the wise men, i wonder what you guys make of this,it always seemed to me a strange thing to be in scripture,the visit of some devout presumably zoroastrian seers.
the wt take on this is that "satan used them to try to bring about the death of jesus".

Vatican to be SUED over child abuse,Pope to stand as witness.!
by wobble inthe guardian newspaper (published in london uk) reports (mon 15th dec page 23) that a class action is being attempted against the vatican (in the 6th us circuit court).
because "its officials were involved in a deliberate effort to cover up evidence of sexual abuse ...".
"case centres on a 1962 directive from the vatican telling church officials to hide sex abuse complaints against clergy".

When SHOULD you have "woken up" ?
by wobble ini can look back to a number of occasions when if i had at the time not left my braincells at home on charge, i should have "woken up" and walked from the wtbs.. one such was 15 or 20 yers ago we had a washtowel on daniels prophecy with the really wacky explanations of the 1260 days and 2300 days etc.
i had about 12 questions on this,like what on earth happened on the supposed finish date that marked the fulfillment of a great prophecy,i also had this thing that showed the 2520 years to be crap,i gave the list of questions to 7 or 8 elders,and none of them gave me a decent answer!.
one kindly elder,who has since faded,warned me to be carefull who i showed my questions to,and hinted that he felt it was all suspect too.. what a big banana i was not to wake up then!.

Why are JW's afraid of dear old Ray?
by wobble inno active dub will read "crisis of conscience" by ray franz because it is "apostate".
now if it is truly apostate,in the sense of being scripturally wrong then the wt has had 20 years or more to expose it,same as if it is factually wrong.. if it is neither, then the wt has had 20 or so years to put their house in order,so reading it now,dubs should say "oh yea we've changed that,so no worries".
so why can't they read it now?.

Scholarly support for 607bce ?
by wobble ini mentioned to a bro.
who is supposed to be answering some of my "concerns" with wt teaching that all the non-witness refs.i have seen to the fall of jerusalem place it twenty years later at 587-586 bce.. he maintains that some scholars support 607. does anyone know of a reliable scholar ,who is a recognised expert in this period,who does support 607 ?.
i am well aware that it makes no difference,as the bible nowhere gives us 2520 years,but i am fed up with his assertions and would like to blow this one out of the water so i can ask him to please check his facts.. only help if you really have time ,it's not life or death.. many thanks.

Extent of Judicial Comms power ?
by wobble inmy question is,because i have always thought that the extent of their power was in a geographic sense, their "parish" or territory, i imagined that if i moved congo.
"officially ",i.e said i am going to such and such a hall, and then never showed up,would either congo.
have any power over me,even if i had not moved home from the original congo's territory ?.
