Have you experienced a good, satisfying pleonasm lately?

by Terry in

jw
friends

pleonasm is defined as "the use of more words than those necessary to denote mere sense.".

through the almost 8 years i've been on jw discussion groups i've experienced many pleonasms.

many caused by me!.

NOLAW

Terry please first take out the rafter from your own eye!

You did it again!

Do you expect us to go through your long posts to reply to an answer about pleonasms?

And give a talk in the congo with some 'warning' thoughts.

Great job, iclone! I know you won't be surprised if they come back with a basic "Do you believe the WTS is Jehovah's organization?" and your answer will have to be yes or no.

That's easy to answer:

It doesn't matter what I believe but what does Jehovah believe. I am not going to be a judge of my brothers because it is unscriptural.

i'll start.

my platform is simple: (1) no more neckties, and (2) the only disfellowshipping offense is child molestation... and it's a lifetime ban!.

NOLAW

Because I will dismantle it!

Shunning is easy

by Paralipomenon in

jw
friends

upon reflection over the past 5 years of being out, i've had a lot of time to consider my time as a witness as well as come to terms with my parents shunning us.. that was the biggest shock for me.

contrary to most experiences i've read, my childhood, while focused on witness matters was still pretty happy.

our family always seemed to fall on "family first, religion second".

NOLAW

It is only morons that shun their family members. Do you think that all JWs follow the spims of the GB? The majority do not.

The effects and repercussions of a cyber attack on WTBTS

by Soldier77 in

this is pure speculation on my part and i hope to get some others to join in sharing their thoughts on this topic.. with the recent push by "mother" to rely heavily on their site jw.org, correspondance to elder bodies, publication downloads, library access, imagine the impact an attack to their site could produce to the organization.. here we have the gb jumping on the bandwagon, late as usual, but still trying to grasp the internet, and saying that it's "okay" to use the internet, and when you do, please go to our site.

so you have a lot of people that may have been die hard, anti-internet because it's from the devil, now saying, okay, lets get a computer, get internet service and hop online..... that's where all hell breaks loose.

they log on the great world wide web and type in the "officially backed" website.... and bam!

NOLAW

I do not think that taking down the official website or hacking it (redirecting it, links to aposta sites, etc) will have any serious impact. Surely they have backup sites in various branches. What is the real crackdown is to get that damned list and info about where the money goes and comes from.
