I Think The Watchtower Corporation Would Offer An Excellent Study On CEOs and decision Making When Shackled By Idealism Or Something

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i' sure the victims of this sham after they have recovered can understand the need to get in focused and the primitive drives to get revenge as well as the corporate

It can be argued that justice has to be done. Revenge can be seen as a form of justice unfolding as the wronged person sees fit. Who has the right to judge whether someone seeks justice or the manner they choose? As long as it does not break any laws, revenge can have a very tempering affect. It can calm a troubled soul and cleanse the mind. Revenge can help a person leave the past behind and get on with life. It is reasonable that a certain number of 'cast aside' bethelites, district overseers, circuit overseers and special pioneers will seek revenge in their own way. Maybe some will become contributing members of this forum.

The different bible books were laid in a grid pattern and I clicked on Malachi. No response. Directions said , " Books available are in blue. More books will be added in time." Guess how many books were available.

ONE. Only the book of Matthew out of 66 books.

Why would the WT Bible and Tract Society bother putting, on the site, a study edition of the NWT with only 1 book available. Like a bunch of amateurs. In my opinion, a professional organization would construct the complete data and then add it to the online library.

Proof of Predation 750 000 000 Years Ago

by cofty in

paleontologists have discovered the cause of small holes that have frequently been observed in ancient eukaryote fossils.

please check out the source even if you only look at the amazing picture.... they were being sucked dry by other predatory species.. forget about a "fall" from a disneyesque utopia.

creatures have been consuming each other since the very beginning of life.. reality is far more exciting than fantasy.
