"Thinking Ability " and The WTBTS
by Siddhashunyata ini recall an emphasis on "thinking ability" coming from the wtbts.
i believe the point was that a mind trained in bible principles would have excellent "thinking ability".. does any one recall if the wtbts ever discussed intuition or if they ever touched on ideas that implied a mental process that was more rapid, and more penetrating?
something that led to deeper, quicker understanding than the reasoning process itself ?

QUESTION??
by Siddhashunyata inafter leaving jehovah's witnesses we experience much confusion.
what should we believe about god, religion, death , life , war, health, sex etc.etc?
usually we search out other ideas or beliefs and again find ourselves groping for another "world view" that will , at last give us peace.

Your weakness is your Faith
by Siddhashunyata ini used to say this to an authentic christian who happened to be a jehovah's witness.
it was because he allowed himself to be abused within the organization.
they knew the kind of person he was and they took advantage of his faith in god.

WT Hypocrisy vs. Protecting Children/ SL
by Siddhashunyata inthere is a growing concern that silentlambs is dealing with two mutually exclusive issues.
the hypocrisy of the wtbts is one issue and protecting children is the other.
additionaly there is criticism of bill bowen's, at times, "down home" approach to dealing with the wtbts.

Disfellowshiping, is it an Endangered Species ?
by Siddhashunyata init is apparent that bill bowen and silentlambs will not go away.
it seems to me that over time, this fact translates to defection within the ranks of jehovah's witnesses as they continue to "associate " with this apostate.
in her letter to the governing body, bill's wife correctly states that it is the body's policies that have caused "divisions".

WTBTS-UNDERMINES FAITH IN THE BIBLE
by Siddhashunyata incontrary to the accepted image of the wtbts as builders of faith in the bible, their use of biblical examples of apostacy as defense for their child abuse record actually undermines faith in the bible by showing that the book can be used to manipulate the conscience of believers.
neither god nor the bible are protecting jehovah's witnesses from this latest manuever by the wtbts.
why won't the wtbts just deal with the facts at hand?
