What I sometimes need to remind myself is that simple people have simple thinking.
People with the "Truth" don't question. Consequently, if somebody asks a naughty question, they are Apostate. Put on your hate hat!
Besides, why change their mind? Where else can they go? Who'll spoon feed them and keep them so busy and not require they have enough
education to think and talk back? Scientology? No. You have to pay through the nose for every thing you ...um..."learn."
Numbers 3 & 4 are HILARIOUS!

These are pretty standard questions....and these are the answers you'd likely get.
What hospital kicks the sick ones out the door and keeps the healthy ones?
Hospitals seperate the highly contageous away from the general population on a regular basis and no one questions the logic behind it.
Well, then, how do you explain Fred Franz being made PRESIDENT after the 1975 fiasco?
No need to fire the coach when game isn' t even over....were only in the third quarter.
who is going to be the most clueless jackass in the room in the years to come?
Jehovah isn't impressed by human wisdom and head knowledge. It's mans self directed knowledge and short sightedness that has led this planet to the brink of ruin.
if it is still too dark to see clearly—do you light a new candle and blow out the old one?
You set the old one next to the new one and they work in concert to shed an even greater light.
5. Humility consists of open willingness to admit mistakes and explain your failures with a promise NEVER to do it again.
We have never failed to do Jehovahs will and will continue on this course till the end.
6. A Faithful Servant does not tell guests what they should eat. A Wise Servant would not dare cry, “Dinner is being served” while the guests just sit
and wait and wait--unless he needed to have his crazy ass fired!
The wise and faithful servant has consistently kept the masters belongings nourished until the master delivers the banquet himself and they will continue to do so as directed.
Peter denied Christ 3 separate times out of self-regard in the face of danger. Afterward, Jesus gave him the keys to the Kingdom Tell me again how any disfellowshipped person is WORSE?
There is no record of Peter having been previously diciplined for this same offence. The occasions where he denied Christ happened in a short span of time. He was remorseful over what he had done and evidently never did so again.
8.Willingness to die for a belief seems to be the delight of terrorists and every other radical fanatic. Why do Christians find it heroic too?
The Bible is our guide and it is full of examples of those who gave up their lives to uphold God's laws and prove their loyalty to him.
Okay, you're telling me what "this generation" REALLY MEANS now.....so....um...what the hell was all that other crap YOU SAID IT MEANT?
It's not for us to know when the end of this system is for sure, we can only use the signs we've seen thus far in world history to estimate how close we are to the times fortold in the Bible and if we are among those who will see those days occur. One thing is certain, the end will come for each individual no matter what generation he belongs to. The main thing is to be found doing the Lords work on that day.
My mother suffered the pangs of birth so I could have life. She fed, me, changed my diapers, held me, dried my tears, taught me right from wrong
and was always there for me. What kind of low-life ingrate will it make me IF I turn my back on her now because she won't quit smoking….and
you just DISFELLOWSHIPPED HER!!
For the good of the greater number, Jehovah's dicipline at times has to be harsh. As humans, we are often too small visioned to fully recognize his dicipline as a protection and warning to the association of his people and ultimately as an expression of his love for us until much time has passed and we have gained wisdom.
Great observation Terry and quite appropriate.
See what trouble occurs when people who're living in these modern times try to emulate
the social morals standards of a civilization that existed 2000 to 3000 years ago.
