Watchtower Lawyer Fills in the Baptism Blank
by Marvin Shilmer inwatchtower lawyer fills in the baptism blank .
today i uploaded a new article to my blog addressing something important that watchtower does not disclose to baptismal candidates, yet on the other hand is ever ready to point out to persons after baptism if they do something silly like ask for correspondence written about their own person.
my article contains a letter from a watchtower staff attorney informing just such an individual.

The 144K are NOT "males"
by cameo-d inthe passage alluding to this physical attribute was translated from an archaic expression similar to a euphemism we use today.. when we say someone "has balls" it does not mean that they are actually and physically male.. in the same way, the scriptures have been misinterpreted because doctrine is being taught by those without true spiritual insight.. the 144k "have stones" which means that they have unusual courage in the face of adversity.. they are not all physically of the male sex..

David and Goliath situation in Australia
by Aussie Oz inin light of the thread on mr unthanks case gaining momentum i wonder:.
this is a real david and goliath situation.. it almost seems to good to be true that one man could cripple a multinational corporation.
all the publicity focused on the catholic church doesn't seem to have hurt them overall, it's almost like these behemoths grow so big that nothing touches them.. has a similar thing happened before?

Rainbows
by Aussie Oz inwe had the most fantastic rainbow here yesterday, probably the most solid colored one i have ever seen.
it reminded me that jehovah would never again flood the earth... not!.
i remarked to my daughter that the rainbow reminded me that the genesis account was a myth like the aboriginal dream times...rainbows are science, sunlight, rain mist/drops and refracted light.. i said, after it had rained and the sun came out, no matter whether 'god' was involved or not, there was going to be a rainbow.

Catholic Church not Accountable for Priests Actions
by Poztate inyes indeed... this is the new legal defence of the rcc to avoid paying out lawsuit money to victims of abuse.. i am sure the wt is keeping a keen legal eye on the outcome of this attempt and will no doubt follow their lead if successful.. published in the guardian.uk.
victims of sexual abuse by priests will no longer be able to sue the catholic church for damages if a landmark judgment rules that priests should not be considered as employees.. in a little publicised case heard this month at the high court, the church claimed that it is not "vicariously liable" for priests' actions.
the church has employed the argument in the past but this was the first time it had been used in open court and a ruling in the church's favour would set a legal precedent.. the use of the defence raises further questions about the church's willingness to accept culpability for abuse.

Evil WT: A Catalyst for Real Spiritual Growth
by cameo-d incould it be that the reason for all lies, deception and evil in the world is actually part of a grand design to act as a catalyst for our spiritual development?.
could it be that it is necessary to know evil in order to appreciate the beauty of goodness and peace?.
could it be that those who knowingly participate in evil for their own gain will receive a punishment for it, while others who are victims of the evil will grow closer to spiritual perfection if they mature through it and triumph over it?.
