so again we go to the quality of evidence used by the wt.. you can read the article here - https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/awake-no5-2016-october/did-jesus-really-exist/.
you see the wt refer to experts with quotes.
as is usually the case the credentials are not represented, just that they are experts (so take their word).
I wonder why they didn't quote from the 19th century writings of Charles Taze Russell. He believed there was enough evidence to support the existence of Jesus and wrote volumes about it.
Oh that's right ... Russell founded a religious book publishing cult who's teachings are contrary to what the JWs currently believe.
i read this comment posted on a news site: .
if the police show up at the kingdom hall looking for a sexual predator, the elders will escort them out an emergency exist and tell them to "hide out until the coast is clear.".
is this true, is there printed instructions to support it?

^^ NOT TRUE ^^
If the police show up at the Kingdom Hall looking for a [member of the Governing Body of Jrhovah's Witnesses guilty of failing to report a] sexual predator, the elders will escort them out an emergency exist and tell them to "hide out until the coast is clear."
^^ TRUE ^^
now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!
perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.
now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.
Should Tony Blair be charged with war crimes?
Maybe they should put Blair in charge of Britain's exit from the EU. The Blair Which Project.
For what it's worth I'd say Blair lacked the intelligence needed to make the correct decision.
i'm not sure if anyone is keeping track, but as of today, the wtbts has spent $40,000.00 usd to avoid releasing sensitive documents to the superior authorities.
that's $40,000.00 usd of "dedicated funds.
are you a born-in jw?
After the next court hearing later this month, and a review of the actions of Watchtower, if they have still not complied then the court has the powers to increase the monetary sanctions. At this time a formal complaints campaign needs to be launched in the USA for the 501(c) charity status of Watchtower to be revoked.
they get caught by the bad guys at the end anyway, don't get what thier point is to the video?
of course i haven't seen it all they way either.
.
It's all in the preconditioned JW mindset.
You are a JW rank-and-file publisher and there is a knock on the door. It's three elders who want to discipline (punish) you for not reporting the wrongdoing of a JW to the elders = religious freedom.

this is great.
i'd love to see this at brighton in a couple of weeks.... "i'm of the kevinly class" or "praise kevin" would be a great way of letting any activist know there are those awake that know what they are doing.

Yeah, but how many donuts were dunked and how many cups of coffee served?
...hope to enjoy everlasting life and witness the resurrection, things unseen by the world.
like the philosophers of paul’s day who called him an ignorant “chatterer,” most people today think that the hope we preach is sheer nonsense.
(acts 17:18) .
"The hope we preach is sheer nonsense." - Jehovah's Witnesses
Now that's a quote to end all quotes.
i found a retracted medical study that is cited by the bloodless/blood management world.. i wonder when they will get around to recognizing the retraction in the blood management world.
this study is still being used as a reference - the latest study that cited it was published in 2016.. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2044.2009.06232.x/abstract.
notice of retraction the following article from anaesthesia, ‘safety of cardiac surgery without blood transfusion: a retrospective study in jehovah’s witness patients’, by el azab sr, vrakking r, verhage [sic] g and rosseel pmj, published online in wiley online library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2044.2009.06232.x/full) on 17 march 2010 and in volume 65, number 4, pages 348-52, has been retracted by agreement between three of the named authors (r vrakking, g verhaegh and pmj rosseel), the journal editor-in-chief, steve yentis, and blackwell publishing ltd. the retraction has been agreed following confirmation by the amphia hospital ethics committee that the study did not have ethical approval as claimed.
keinlezard: Have you got a listing of these articles ... or some more references ...
I will log into my access account on the weekend and post some of the retractions.

I checked my university access across all medical fields and had all the same type of retraction notices to quite a number of articles, by a certain fraudulent doctor, highly revered by Watchtower in relation to blood management.
Medical corruption ... how low can you go.
Shame on the holy spirit overseeing the activities of Jehovah's Witnesses and the writings of the faithful and discreet slave class.
