    and has anyone noticed this:

    The law of the land and God’s law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates

    How could an organization that claims it's important to put God first, that God's laws have to be followed before and above those of man first cite man's laws as a reason why apostates cannot be killed. In fact for an organixation that "puts God first" his law should be the ONLY reason and man's laws should be just a footnote

    Also it's interesting to note that when Deuteronomy tells the Israelites to kill apostates, that order directly violates the sixth commandment..Thou shall not comit murder.

    Check out the loaded language:

    ....could be exterminated for apostasy

    Why not just call those who disagree with the WT roaches. This makes it easier for family to shun their loved ones. They're not even human enough to kill. Just exterminate the vermin .

    Ever notice the high number of German sounding names on the GB? Did they take lessons from the holocost or what!

    Freddy Franz is unavailable right now. He is at his new Lake (of fire) home.

    Sorry, details are kind of sketchy since I was paying more attention to my daughter running around the coliseum than the talk. So all I can say is how witnesses must be careful how they handle disfellowshipped family members, taking care not to associate with them too much or let them influence you too much. The usual banter, I'm sure.

    Zid, I wanted to take notes on this afternoon's symposium to share here but my daughter ran me ragged and I missed practically all of it.

    I do have some stuff from the morning talks though and I will share it on this thread.
