  Jehovah's Witnesses are the only people who don't practice war and who preach worldwide!

  this is what somebody has been telling me, trying to convince me aside from anything one can say or cause reason for doubt, as the evidence that they are the true religion and true people of god.

  they are convinced because while 'all other' christian and other religions support war, troops, etc, jw's don't and they are the only one's who carry god's name and preach.

  nothing else matters.

  'Pacifism is not a virtue. It is the moral equivalent of seeing a woman being beaten and walking by on the other side' - fantastic comment!

  I'd never thought of it like that before.

  @EndofMysteries - Jwfacts has a good section on religions with similar beliefs to WTS.

  'Global preaching work' my arse! I wonder how the ministry is going in North Korea, Saudi Arabia or China?

  'It is NEVER about the rights of the victims.' - I fear you've hit the nail on the head, AlphaMan, and neatly summed up the issue.

  17 y.o. Sydney Boy Threatens to fly the black flag over the White House

  i think i'm going to get flamed for this, but it needs to be said.. this kid is full of bravado, and if his head is as stuffed full of muslim ideology, as my head was once stuffed full of christian ideology, he probably believes that allah (the other face of yahweh) wants him to do it, and that if he dies in the effort, he will be rewarded in paradise.. before i post his story, please consider that the ideology of martyrdom, has both a christian face and a muslim face.

  ignatius, the second bishop of antioch, wanted to die for jesus, just as the young man in the following story, likely imagines that he is willing to die for allah.. ok, that's out of the way, so here's the story:.

  I hope the family of Nathan Cirillo get support and help at this time. I also hope those injured maked a full recovery.

  I'm glad one gunman has been killed. If there are any more on the run, I hope they get put down also.

  there are some mental illnesses which come with the potential for extreme violence.

  i'm not talking the sociopath here who kills without remorse, but those mentally ill people while in the throes of their delusions who are driven to kill.

  the outcomes can be horrific.. on december 6, 1989, a lone gunman gunned down fourteen women at a montreal college.

  Yes I think I can. When were all in 'the truth' and 'true believers' we were brainwashed. This may have lead to mental illness in some cases but not in others. Brainwashing and mental illness are similar, may overlap, and one may lead to the other. I don't think they're one and the same.

  To further explain: consider someone attending a hypnotist show. The person is picked from the crowd and the hypnotist has him believing he's a dog.

  The person is brainwashed. But is he mentally ill?

  You might be confusing mental illness with brainwashing.

  'It does seem to me that entire communities do become mentally ill, however.' - please provide evidence supporting this statement.

  I'm not sure how change will come about. I have read about acts of kindness from moderate sunnis in the Syria/Iraq conflict. Some kind people helped escaped yazidi slaves by hiding them away from ISIS, helping them reach their relatives in Kurdistan or Turkey.

  Some activists in Ar-Raqqa are documenting human rights abuses but I'd imagine their life expectancy is about the same as an icecube in an oven.

  @jgnat

  Which mental disorder were the men who stoned the Syrian woman to death (see my post no. 184) suffering from?

  I've just finished reading about a Syrian women, accused of adultary, who was stoned to death.

  Apparently her own father helped tie her up and threw the last rock, killing her.

  Were all the men involved in this atrocity mentally ill?
