Can we excuse the R&F for ever ?
by Phizzy ingenerally i go along with it when posters express pity and sympathy for the r&f jw's.
i feel this way toward them too, to a degree.. but where do we draw the line ?
we know that jw's do not have a conscience of their own really, they are told how to think and act, and they have to obey.. just as those living in nazi germany were told how to think and act, and had to obey.. but, " i was just following orders " was not taken as a valid defense at nuremburg.. as the wt descends in to becoming more and more like north korea in its do not question, simply obey !

The numbers don't lie...or do they?
by stillin inat a recent ca, the co was commending the r&f about mid-week meeting attendance.
he said that it was up 4% since he first began working in our circuit.
i was listening as some were patting each other on their backs about that at last nights meeting and it occurred to me that there were many empty seats.

Theism Makes Science Impossible
by cofty init is not impossible to be a great scientist and a theist - kenneth miller and francis collins are good examples.. however, science depends on methodological naturalism - a working assumption that there are natural causes for observed effects.
please note that methodological naturalism is not the same as ontological naturalism.
in other words scientists may believe in a spirit world or not as long as god is never invoked as an answer.. contrast this with theism which, unlike deism, declares god to be immanent and active in the world.. consider a scientist who is also a theist doing research into the efficacy of a new drug that cures heart disease.

Has anyone used this question on a JW? How might they respond?
by BU2B inas i was laying in bed i thought of a question to ask my wife.
"when the wt has an article on the next change in teaching or new light, just guessing, what do you think it might be?".
it does not need to be phrased just like that, but i thought it might be a powerful question since it would make the jw subconsciously question all of the current teachings, something they are not taught to do.

What If the Soul Sleeping Doctrine is False?
by Cold Steel inwhen god breathed life into adam, adam became a living soul.
moments before he had been only a concept...an idea; a lump of clay if youre a literalist.
now he was a complex living and breathing being.
