Two witness rule: who cares?

by _Morpheus in

i find people railing against the so called “two witness rule” puzzling.

i think its a complete and total non issue.

for those that protest, argue or advocate for change in that rule, why?

i was driving along through a quiet neighborhood on a saturday morning ( yesterday )and , looky-looky, two dubs.i recognized one of them, complete asshole, exbethelite, can i say his name?it's not important.i rolled up, downed the window and "hey!

"they spun around and i continued, "what are you going to do about all those pedophile lawsuits all over the world?

the two witness rule is wrong and so are you!

_Morpheus

As always, i hope it made you feel good.

As an aside, what is your problem with so called “two witness rule”? Why do you think that needs to be changed or is wrong?

It would be nice if this forum went back to the basics

by nowwhat? in

not to offend or impose my opinion.

but simply i would like to see just news and insights from the local congregation to the top organization level of: downsizing, closings, c.s.a.

personal experiences,unscriptural doctrines of the org.and direct commentary of the above.

_Morpheus

Of the ten topics on the first page only one does not directly related to the topics you mentioned you want to see. Guess which one isnt “on point”?

That aside, it comes and goes. There is a lot if jw talk here. A lot. Some really good, some really petty and ignorant, but in the end people grow and want to discuss other things as well. There is only so much “wt bad, cults bad” discussion to be had in a day.

The ignore button works really well, once you find it.

Cambridge professor just went full retard ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

ever heard of david runciman?.

he's a professor of politics at the university of cambridge, no less.. he's also a complete retard, for want of a better word.

according to prof. runciman, six year old children should get the vote, so as to counteract britain's aging population.

_Morpheus

I continue to believe that people who make rediculious comments are just trolling. No one can possibly believe that six year olds are competent to vote. Six year olds have beds times. Why? If allowed, they will stay up all night playing. They dont understand or care about the consequences of staying up late. They are not allowed to pick their own meals, at least without parental input. Why? They would eat junk food all day without thought or understanding as to the consequences.

We could go on and on, but i trust even the trolls have to admit they see the correlation being drawn.

So, that argument having been made, i can state without reservation, the concept of allowing six year olds to vote is indeed retarded. It defies all logic and is a stark symbol of the difference between people who sit on their useless asses “thinking” all day compared to people who are productive and understand the practical implications of basic decisions.

The “professor” should allow six year olds to establish his curriculum. It would be instructive to him and his dumbass concept.

What would we think about a person who lived alone in the dark for years and years on purpose?

by TerryWalstrom in

the spookiest questions about god are profound when we take one step back and examine who/what such a god would be... j-u-s-t before creating the universe.... .

before anything was created: god wouldn't have been "the creator".

with nobody around wouldn't be supreme being (superior to who/ what?

_Morpheus

Your fundamental argument is flawed. Your attempting to take what believers define as the single source of everything, the ultimate divine being, beyond all mortal comprehension and apply mortal standards like time or even darkness. No believer would ever give this argument the dignity of a response let alone any serious consideration.

I see where your going with it, but im not sure it works.

Cold war 2.0

by mikeflood in

canada arresting the daughter of china's huawei telecomunications conglomerate with the intention of extraditing her to the us for "violations of sanctions to north korea & iran", navy ships sailing for first time in 30 years near of russian bases "to challenge excessive russia maritime claims" , us secretary of state speech saying that "the multilateral approach is not working anymore".

maybe the last is the most worrisome.

it looks like the us know something that we don't know, that they are weak like banana republics, going to comply to whatever demands they make, or that this is the last real chance to stop them.....one little miscalculation and this takes fire...hope not, it's lot more funny talk about the borg.

_Morpheus

Good. The chi-coms need to be checked on the world stage. They undercut the world communities efforts to keep rogue countries like north korea and iran in check, aside from lessor but important crimes like stealing our technology.

Also not being discussed is the chi-com government disapearing the head of interpol. I guess he wasnt a member of the muslim brotherhood writing opinion pieces for the washingtion post so he doesnt matter.
