WT "Chains of Command"
by out4good3 inhow many people here are avid star trek fans?.
i've just finished watching parts i and ii of the episode "chains of command" and a couple of sequences in the episode reminded me of how the wt controls people.
in the episode capt picard is tortured and forced to believe he's seeing 5 lights when in fact there is only four.. what brought this to mind is the irrational statements i've heard from people in the "trooth", statements whereby they've suspended all common sense and choose only to believe anything the wt organization tells them.

Jesus' Name
by Utopian_Raindrops inok i have a question...does anyone know why we call jesus.....well jesus...i mean he was jewish and his hebrew name was yeshua.
so why did the whole world adopt the greek version of his name?
i do like it and all but, with jehovah now...depending on where you live you call him by his name in your language not the hebrew language.

One - sided presentation.
by Blueblades inone method of argumentation that the wt.society uses of the many that they do use is the "one - sided presentation".this is where contrary evidence is suppressed or ignored.for example:the watchtower jan 15,1991 pages 10 to 15,in the article,"teach publicly and from house to house".quotes from 15 one - sided sources in support of its position or argument.all of those sources are from christendom.i'll just name the sources and you can if you choose,look up the article for yourself.1)priest john allard.2)randolph o.yeager.3)abiel abbot livermore.4)wesleyan bible commentary,vol.4 pages( 642-643).5)scholar joseph addison alexander.6) scholar o.a.hills.7)bible scholar edwin w.rice.8)f.n.peloubet.9)j.glentworth butler.10)scholar e.s.
young.11)w. b. riley.12)e.m.blaiklock.13)j. herbert kane.14)oscar e.feucht.15)edward caldwell.

Tidbit from the Master's Notebook
by Navigator inobserving the interplay going on in live chat the other night, i was reminded of a line from the master's notebook which some of you may know is a book within a book by richard bach called illusions.
"the bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.. rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.".
whether you realize it or not, many of you have become a family.
