    Being "beat" doesn't necessarily reference a competition........it could be construed as an evidence of modesty!

    At least you know when you're beat John Butler. That's why I don't think you're a bad man...yet!

    Good comment, but I wouldn't limit it to those who are believers and participate in some organized religion.

    Amen to that. I think that's what I said? Learn what they are before you extrapolate.

    You quoted my "scare quotes" I note. Better check their usage before you take your "Taxi" too far in the wrong direction! But you know that things are not always what they "seem" to be, are they? This is more of the faulty logic. Jesus was never apostate to those that were supposed to be spiritual leaders. Even your own insipid definition of apostasy confirms this. They may have believed him to be an apostate ..but they were as wrong as you are. This isn't really conforming to the thread subject. Perhaps a discussion on the meaning of the term apostasy would be more appropriate elsewhere.

    That's an upvote too. But you can only give one response here, and I laughed longer and louder.

    I have never claimed to be Bruce Springsteen???

    That's a bit rich. You are demonstrating that you area newbie from the nonsense you talk about Jesus being apostate to the way that God had told the Nation of Israel to serve Him. Don't be deceived @limmy, you ain't gonna learn anything from this John Butler guy, newbie or not. It's through meeting people like this in the "truth", (and there are a few), that others go apostate.

    Very wise strategy Mr Butler. He who fights and runs away etc..... Your conduct in this at present classes you quite squarely with the people you condemn. You're seeming to be cut in the same spineless, self-saving mode. And the little children? ...Why , just let them suffer. You might be thinking that turning your back on those whom you define as ones who "have the full information" might in some way exonerate you, but really, you are just seeming to fill up the measure of Zeph.13:4. I can see that the JW org has trained you well Yes, that is your assessment. You're just grasping at straws here. You don't really know how I have been trained, or who trained me. Anyway, I don't think you are a bad man Mr B. at the moment. You leave yourself too exposed for that. I think Anna has you pretty well taped on this so I'm going to live up to my tag here. You've had your advice and chosen to ignore it.

    @Nicole"I'm curious, in Spanish it says, "sin gas" which the translator tool, says it is equal to "still mineral water"" Evian mineral water has always been presented as "natural" or "still" as a characteristic. (without gas). Badoit, on the other hand, is said to be "naturally carbonated" and thus provides the alternative to bottled water consumers. "In 1971, Badoit became part of EvianSA, which later became a fully owned subsidiary of Boussois Souchon Neuvesel. Today, Badoit is a product and brand of the Danone group". Evian is also part of this group now. So says wikipedia.

    Actually that is what Paul McCartney said.

    ?? The info you have provided??? You feel condemned? The problem is that you are presenting the same charcteristics as those you condemn others within the congregation for having. You may not actually intend this, but you seem to be doing the same thing as those you yourself condemn . So, that would lead to the conclusion that you are self-condemning. But I don't think that is what you are aiming at, is it? ??? I thought you said:

    Are the hours actually announced? It is 60 hrs a month for an aux.pioneer isn't it?. The 70 hrs is just an average out per month for a regular pioneer's annual commitment to at least 840 in the 12 months. It is only a minimum actualy. Many do more. And many don't make the goal for a variety of reasons. Hmm... Perhaps it would be more interesting to announce at the end of a month how many hours those making a commitment actually did get? That might even up the boasting stakes a bit.

    "Maxwell's Silver Hammer was my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life. I wanted something symbolic of that, so to me it was some fictitious character called Maxwell with a silver hammer. I don't know why it was silver, it just sounded better than Maxwell's hammer. It was needed for scanning. We still use that expression even now when something unexpected happens." Paul McCartney Many Years From Now, Barry Miles

    The official line on this in the UK is: "You don’t need to be sure that a child or young person has been abused - it’s OK to report a suspicion." https://www.gov.uk/report-child-abuse and this reassurance if you report to Childline on 0800 1111: "The ChildLine number won’t show up on your phone bill if you call from a landline or from most mobile networks." Your reticence to get involved is understandable, but you have revealed such a lot about the matter in this, a public forum, along with your various allegations against "elders" whom, you say, have more responsibility than you do, that it would seem that the reticence "horse" has actually bolted. As made clear, the UK police line on this matter is "there is a moral duty on everyone of us to report to the police any crime or anything we suspect may be a crime". Your concern regarding evidence is unfounded, as the police have a duty to investigate any report of "suspicion". It is up to them to decide if there is evidence or not to substantiate it. It is all so easy to do, and can even be done anonymously. I don't understand your shrinking back from what is your moral responsibility, regardless of that of anyone else. I would have thought, given the tone of your allegations against others, that you would proudly proclaim your "doing the right thing" in the matter of reporting allegations of child sexual abuse. But, so far, all these reasons and justifications you list seem like more of the mealy-mouthed excuses of others on non-reporting to which you attribute your withdrawal from the Witnesses. I am sure that wasn't your intention? To stay (rather tenuously ) on topic, this kind of discussion would seem to be a pretty good reason why those who wish to debate such matters in a congregational setting would be better shunned.

    Is this a mistype?

    This beggars belief. Has anyone heard of other cases where prosecution has factored religious belief on the condition of the dead as a component of a "guilty" verdict? I mean are all the Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Jewish, Muslim, etc. folk who get accused of murder said to be emboldened because they believed their alleged victims are actually alive after death?

    This the subject for a different thread. Why not start it off?
  19. Evacuated
    By the way, did you get that child abuse issue you were talking about sorted? The Childline suggestion seemed to be a way you could keep personally out of the frame and still get some practical advice on the matter remembering that there could be children at risk. How did you get on with that? You did get on with that didn't you?

    Diapers? and Babygrows? You might want to add food and love if you are the parent?

    Of course they can! These pictures are all taken in the locality in which I did my ministry. Just to indicate there are many cultures in Britain, particularly inner city where most people are and where real experience is gained. I'm sure you mean well, but this could be construed as an example of narrow minded inexperience in assuming one view is held by everyone else. 'Christmas' means a lot to some people; many do not have time off work; many have no family and few friends; many DO want to talk about all sorts of serious matters, including religion, anytime. (We are not looking for those who do not by the way.) PS. reply if you like but pardon my non-response here as I have gone off topic now.

    This workflow still works on my iPad. But it is just for Apple devices. http://appchasers.com/2015/03/17/video-optimize-your-theocratic-activity-using-workflow-for-iphone-and-ipad/

    You are perfectly right. I know Christmas means a lot to them in these pc days. Hmm Yes What? Like these British people??
  24. Evacuated
    Probably in some of the more snooty or nationalistic areas of the UK that is quite right. In fact, many city Brits see it as a way of asserting national identity these days . Having been inner city most of my ministry time though, the multi-cultural mix makes for a whole different experience. Many don't see Christmas as particularly significant and it is just another day.

    If you are using a PC and you want to see the intended caption for the picture rather than the speculative interpretations commonly voiced at KHalls, then Right Click on the picture and choose Inspect from the menu. The caption will appear in the code window on the right, highlighted. Like this: Although from the January 2019 study edition, these captions will will appear as footnotes for each study article, the method holds good for most illustrations in recent electronic publications.
