  A cracking good JC! This is how it's done, folks.

  in this jc the couple accused of apostasy, lay down some inconvenient and incontestable truths about the organization's teachings that leave the elders speechless - as far as them mustering any efforts to refute them.

  oh and by the way, do you remember what geoffrey jackson said at the australian royal commission when he was asked about an inactive jw being called to account if the elders stopped by and find him celebrating the holiday?

  don't worry if you've forgotten because the couple mentions it to the elders, you know, seeing as it's the very same reason why they're being accused of apostasy, thus proving geoffrey jackson's statements to be false!.

  It was foolish unless the real goal was to prove Jackson a liar. Too much emotion and too little logic. Didn't press elders on any topics. Wife sounded more articulate but hardly got to speak. Why not have the clip of Jackson ready to play?

  To all JDub lurkers: How can you continue to preach knowing that you are telling lies?

  this is a damn serious question.

  you must know by now that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce and that 607 was initially picked by ct russell by using his "pyramid scheme" measurements.

  there is no hiding these facts yet you continue to preach this nonsense.

  Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

  i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.

  there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.

  there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

  Numbers 9:6-14New International Version (NIV)

  6 But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean on account of a dead body. So they came to Moses and Aaron that same day 7 and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”

  8 Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.”

  9 Then the Lord said to Moses, 10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body or are away on a journey, they are still to celebrate the Lord’s Passover, 11 but they are to do it on the fourteenth day of the second month at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They must not leave any of it till morning or break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations. 13 But if anyone who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, they must be cut off from their people for not presenting the Lord’s offering at the appointed time. They will bear the consequences of their sin.

  14 “‘A foreigner residing among you is also to celebrate the Lord’s Passover in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same regulations for both the foreigner and the native-born.’”

  The Myth of Two Sides

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have heard it said, he that is not on my side is against me... .

  in watchtower world this was certainly the case.

  watchtower world was fully good, while anyone not belonging to them was fully on the side of evil--classic cult black and white thinking.

  I thought the bit about Jackson not having anything to do with it was the most dramatic. Too bad it isn't in the report. and must not be any perjury charges
