After the movie Alive, I had numerous conversations with my children about who I would eat first (if we were ever stranded in the Andes mountains. I guess that option is no longer available to me.

Why do religious people make claims and then refuse to back them up?
by Viviane inseveral times over the past few months i have had conversations, both here and in real life, with religious people making all sorts of interesting and conflicting claims.
i like to know how things work, so generally i will ask questions to net out what i am being told and see if it can be explained and make sense.. for instance, if someone said 2+2=4 and i asked how, there are a variety of ways that could be shown to me, a number line, physical objects being put together, counting on fingers and toes, etc.
indeed, in my personal life, i often have to explain how certain technologies work, sometimes planned, sometimes off the cuff, from a variety of group sizes to a varying degree of technical expertise.

Why do they do what they do? - because they can and get away with it. You may not fall for their tricks, but then again, you are not their target market. -

David Schafer's Mistake
by Hold Me-Thrill Me inthanks cappytan for posting the thread "jehovah's people as a whole can never be corrupted".
it's a sad example of how low in simple reading skills the present gb and their helpers are.

Good catch, I noticed the same thing...
But he said it with such a sense of intellectual superiority that you can't help but be impressed.

Phone call from a brother last night
by label licker inthe brother and his wife thought the statement at the end of this month's broad cast show was a little off.
the org stated that jehovah's organisation can not be corrupted.
(needless to say only three had shown up for the broadcast meeting at the hall) he's never heard that before so we filled him in as to what the org has been up to and gave him jwnet, jw facts as well as jw survey to look at.

Needless to say only three had shown up for the broadcast meeting at the hall
Can you clarify what these broadcast meetings are? Are these special meetings where the congregation is supposed to come to the hall and listen to a JW.tv broadcast? And... only 3 showed up! Am I missing something or should I say "WOW!"

I was once criticized because my field service book bag was not heavy enough (i.e. not enough books). I guess both of us did not realize we are (or were) in a sales organization.
