God cannot lie
by psyco inthe bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.
.
so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.

With Kim's kind permission I've posted her documents along with a few explanatory paragraphs by Kim herself on the LE info blog.
Read (and share): https://lloydevans.info/all-categories/evans-history/m7-updateKim, I've posted the documents in the order I received them. If it matters at all I can easily rearrange the order, just let me know.

Also l would not expect a Sikh or Hindu to attend a Christian service
See how divisive religion is? I just don't understand this attitude. I attended the funeral of a colleague last month, the service was in a Catholic church and was full of prayers, incense and the sprinkling of holy water.
Ordinarily I'd remark on the irrational nature of this superstitious mumbo-jumbo but it was important to my friend and her family and I could feel my conscience chiding me for even thinking about it during everyone's grief.
It doesn't matter that I'm not Christian, I was there for my friend. I would've attended if I'd been Sikh or Hindu too.

Slim' is right about the inertia of many patrons. Subscriptions are a fairly typical business model and it works well in no small part because of this non-response by subscribers. LE can probably bank on this for a while but with the typical lifespan of a credit/debit card being 2-4 years the trend will inexorably decline unless he steps up his game.
He's circling the drain but it may be a while longer before he gets flushed away.

Further education
by ExBethelitenowPIMA ini just saw on a video that there has been a change about further education.
here is a screenshot of a letter that went to all elders.
i am an elder but i don’t remember this one, perhaps it is only for some areas?.

It's all but impossible to read the text on that image, can you type it out for us? Also, it doesn't look like a screenshot of a letter at all. What's the veracity of it?

However for Richard Dawkins to sing songs of praise to the God that he has spent most of his life denying does seem hypocritical
But he isn't singing them to God is he Jan? He's sharing the experience with his friends and family and perhaps the community he lives in. He's joining them in their festivities and celebrations. Sounds like a pretty good example to set if you ask me.
Would you refuse to share the experiences of Eid or Diwali with your colleagues and neighbours just because you aren't actually Muslim or Hindu?
Merry Christmas 😁

What is worse: 1914 or Beard change
by Gorb inwhat is worse for jw's: changing the 1914 doctrine or allowing beards without the right to say what their opinion is?.

Without 1914., the cornerstone of JWdom the Borg collapses unto itself.
No. Don't assume doctrine is important to any but a few remaining diehard elderly JW's, it isn't. Everything is up for grabs, there are no sacred cows and nothing matters but the money.
Make it nice and easy (and dumb) and perhaps the congregations will last and keep contributing.
It's beyond pathetic now.

Are creationists hypocritical in making use of modern medicine?
After all, modern medicine relies significantly on the understanding of evolution. Concepts such as antibiotic resistance, the development of vaccines, and the study of genetic diseases are all rooted in evolutionary principles.
Understanding, and so accepting the truthfulness of evolutionary biology, is crucial in medical research and the development of new treatments.
For the record, I don't think believers are hypocritical in using antibiotics etc, just ignorant.
