Buy a Bible
by joey jojo inthis is probably an oldie.
buy a bible, never read it- you're probably a catholic.
buy a bible, read only the parts you find interesting - you're probably an evangelist.

by joey jojo inwatching right now with my wife.
we are both born ins but have been out for a long time.
my wife dislikes pretty much most things about the jw's and not much surprises her about the org but even she had to take a break because she was appalled by the cover up.

WT vs The Simpson's
by joey jojo infor an organisation that has made a lot of predictions, the wts does not exactly have an impressive record of getting it right.
its probably impossible to count the number of trees that have been killed and turned into paper pulp for the sake of millions of pages of false prophecies that have been printed.
on the other hand, the cartoon show, the simpson's has accurately predicted some interesting events, years in advance without the death of one tree.

Unpredictable Certainty
by joey jojo inwith this pandemic upon us now in full bloom, its not surprising that religions are trying to entice their flocks back, with ' we told you so' rhetoric.
the truth is, these events happen every so often and we should expect them.. another term for this unpredictable certainty is a black swan event, that is, a rare event, that has wide ranging, often devastating effects.
we know bad things will happen, sometimes very bad things but we just don't know what, how or when.

Great quote by German physicist Max Planck...
by joey jojo ina new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
a quote that could be applied closely to the style of the wts 'change management'.. put another way.... "we make stuff up and expect people to accept it as truth.
when we change things we still expect people to accept it as truth.
