Biology: A (Mostly Fun) Challenge
by TD incan you name this plant?.
the subject of evolution and the question of why one would believe that various living things are so closely related that they sprang from a common ancestor comes up fairly often.
very strong opinions are expressed.. i thought a visual challenge might be fun .

You can get disfellowshipped for a dirty house too!
by GrandmaJones ini was telling my sister that i downloaded a copy of the new "flock" book (don't worry, my sister doesn't bat an eye over my doing things like this) and she was asking me if there was anything "good" or "juicy" in it.
imagine her shock when i told her that members of the flock can be df'd for keeping an untidy house.. seriously, i think they were talking about hoarders.
that is even worse!!!!!!!!

WT Society Has to be Forced by Courts to Reveal Hidden Child Abuses
by flipper inin one of the new pieces of information in the new elders manual - section 5:18 - it shows how elders are instructed to keep all judicial committee information private from media or attorneys.
keeping in mind how secretive the wt society has been in hiding child abuse within the jehovah's witnesses notice these instructions to elders now.. it states, " if a member of the media or an attorney representing the accused ( or possibly victims ) contacts the elders , they should not give him any information about the case or verify there is a jc.
rather, they should give the following explanation, " the spiritual and physical welfare of jehovah's witnesses is of paramount concern to the elders, who have been appointed to " shepherd the flock ".

The Gibbering Buddy has already lost control. They dont know it yet.
by hamsterbait inthink of all the unintended negative effects of the changes.. the "generation".
axing the book study.. (you can add to the list).
all the changes are to enforce control over the sheeples.. as far as i can see they are alienating the flock.. elderly ones devastated because they are having to face their mortality.. the social isolation since the bs was removed from homes.. each change they have brought in has isolated and estranged the very ones who trusted this organisation.. like hitler in 1941, he did not realise that the war had already turned against him.. (interestingly, how many of the new uber gibbering buddy are of german descent - is there a connexion with their new mantra of "tohtahles obedientz"?).

Has WT Tried to Control its Past?
by leavingwt inon another thread, an active jw wrote the following:.
but the past of jehovah's witnesses is all out there exposed for everyone that wishes to see and recount it in detail.
like charles darwin, charles russell lived during the 19th century, too, and, like darwin, russell he had some zany views (like that pyramid of russell's, for example).
