Nothing that new here. They are not saying treat inactive ones as apostates. As ttdtt says, they are saying don't associate with baptised ones who you know are doing things that are "wrong". That's an old thing out for a new airing.

Will the talk where They say treat inactive ones as apostates back fire?
by Crazyguy ina few years ago they had a similar talk and my mother stopped talking to my sister.
after a few weeks the sister called and when mom told her my sister said but i love your my mother.
something to that effect.

The last video in the 2016 convention...
by problemaddict 2 in...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.
bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.
he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.

I am with Daniel1555,
The production on this video is designed to provoke as strong an emotional response as possible.
Finding out they have used a commercial piece from a production music company with such a strong track record of epic instrumental compositions is telling in itself.
The sheeples will love this, even here in cynical ol' Britain. The whole RC is a big long story designed to make us all identify with the characters, see our problems in their problems, choose to copy their loyalty, imagine ourselves alongside them in the basement as the police break in and then to weep uncontrollably as we picture ourselves in the paradise earth - young, healthy, looking so calm and refined in our loose fitting cotton meditation wear.
Who the f**k would not want to be there? Who the f**k would want to give up now? Who the f**k would be stupid enough to question anything, fail to shun, associate with apostates or not discard any disquieting thoughts?
For anyone already breaking the mental chains it should be shock to the system. For anyone not there yet then it will be #thebestconventionever #jw

I think the video answers the question as to whether or not the GB are competent persons to be in charge of a multi-national corporation.
I don't think it addresses the question of if they know what they are doing concerning the shoring up of a religion that is unsustainable in the long term. In this case I believe they do know what they are doing. They know that the only way of keeping people in is to press all the right emotional triggers around fear, obligation and guilt. They might be spinning it differently in their own heads but they know they cannot keep doing it the old way.
All they have to do is make the majority feel the right way and then cognitive dissonance and the sunk cost fallacy does the rest for them.

Roy and my right to free-speech..
by The Rebel inbefore england announce the two squad members that won't go in to the euros, i say leave out wiltshire ( not fully match fit) and sturrige,( the most over rated striker ever) however social media disagrees and says drinkwater, lacks quality and rashford experience so leave them out.
other experts think varidys pace irrelevant at this level.
my conclusion it's all opinions and roy hodgson wont base his decision on my opinion nor social medias.

Should have taken Townsend and left Wilshere at home. JW is a great player on his day but gets injured everytime he looks at pitch. I think Sturridge will contribute if he does not stub his toe or have some other stupid injury like bumping into JW and taking both of them out.

Sorry to post like a nutter, but are cult smocks appropriate wear for Bethel or the meetings? If it's alright for Paradise surely it's OK for now. Perhaps someone could turn up wearing one...

Not to mention them forgetting to show 1000 years of clearing up 6 billion dead people, sorting out collapsing cities, handling toxic and radioactive waste, cultivating the earth with no machinery etc. etc. etc.

Because the chemical process for stalactites forming in limestone caves is different to those formed on concrete ceilings.
As I mentioned in the first response on this thread Perry, places like Talk Origins have the information to hand to explain these type of arguments.

Confusing Opinions with Facts
by cofty inin a discussion about the best flavour of ice cream everybody's opinion is equally valid.. in a discussion about the shape of the earth or the origin of species everybody's opinion is equally irrelevant.
only objective facts and evidence matter.. confusing these two categories is a common feature of conversations in this forum.
people deserve respect, errors do not..

To be fair Ucanthome, I should have been more specific to say the theory of evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis. The theory of evolution concentrates on the how life has developed but presupposes the existence of life. Of course there is a relationship in the broader context of a discussion about the existence and involvement of a creator but in terms of this thread it's the theory of evolution that presents deists and creationists with the question of what they are prepared to accept as fact or hold an opinion on.

As jwfacts just repeated for the millionth time on this forum, evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life.
Regardless, how can one have cognitive dissonance regarding evolution? CD occurs when one is trying to rationalise two contradictory positions. What evidence is there that there is a divine creator who is actively interested in humanity? I would have to accept that before any CD regarding evolution could even begin to set in.
The reality is that ones like me who did once accept there was a creator and he had a plan had to shake of this belief because the weight of evidence belies this assertion. I fail to understand how an open, logical and reasonable evaluation of the evidence would result in science rather than superstition being the loser in a CD war.
