  The Watchtower is very guilty of twisting and adding to the scriptures over and over again... Doesn't the Bible say that if a person adds to it, they are acursed?? Therefore, the Bible condems the sort of liberties that the WTBTS is taking with scripture.

  Encouraging people to give up their belongings in order to do their definition of "the will of god" is adding to the very scriptures they cite. They're taking passages out of context to support their ideas...Ideas that are NOT in any way, shape, or form the message of the Bible itself.

  It's not a wise idea to "do without" or to completely "simplify your life" to the point where all you have are shoes on your feet to walk from door to door. No, it's idiotic! It's falling to the delusion that this world IS "passing away".

  Think of the term "passing away" for a minute. When you say someone is passing away, inevitably they will be done living within a few days, maybe even hours. If you want to get technical and include the drawn-out process of declining health during a terminal illness, we'll say POSSIBLY months. But eventually, they die, and it's within an expected period of time.

  Considering this passage was forged thousands of years ago, I think it's safe to say this world is alive and well, and it's not passing anywhere. If anything, it's IMPROVED since that time.

  Y'know...thinking about it, I think Superman waaaaaay back in the day had a horse. Flew around, had Kryptonian powers and shit. Always wondered why all his pets needed capes though.

  You ever see someone wandering around with a cape outside of a comic book convention? I have. They look really weird.

  Well, I always wondered why the superheroe's themselves had to wear capes! And just what were you doing wandering around a comic book convention????? But I believe the Incredibles explained the cape thing quite well. They are DANGEROUS, and modern day superheroes no longer wear them. They get sucked into plane engines and crap when they are flying around. Many a hero met an untimely end that way.

  Now that we've settled the cape dillema, why do they wear leotards?

  Oh and btw. I'm a superhero! I don't wear a cape, nor do I wear leotards, but I can type like the wind! I've been using the superhuman power to email all of the domestic violence shelters I can find. the Watchtower study article that tells wives if they are being beaten that they aren't being good enough christians, and that they should be willing punching bags in the hopes that after a few decades of bruises, blood, broken teeth, cracked ribs and such their hubbies might come to know Jehovah.

  Manky probably sits in its basement hoping for just such a marriage. Watchtower approved!

  I tell you what, they are dangerous!

  Well, I did own a comic-book store for 10 years. So...the reason for capes was just to show some action in the panel. Japanese manga nowadays just puts in speed lines (Not to be confused with lines of coke!)

  The reason for the leotards was because they were trying to copy the circus muscleman look of the day.

  I really can't explain the underwear worn over the leotard look though. Still baffled by that one.

  I should go watch The Incredibles. That was a great movie! Funny thing about that movie. The first Fantastic Four movie was delayed because when The Incredibles came out, when Elasti-girl stretched it was soooo much better than what the had planned for Mr. Fantastic. So the studio had to go and change all the special effects because some characters that were based on the FF were done better than the FF.

  Well to be fair, lines of coke would also speed up the action.

  It might also speed up Mankkeli replying on his own thread.
