  Wow, that's some fancy footwork to make themselves look good for their lack of concern for others. Just love the last 4 paragraphs - pure gold.

  As usual, any criticism of Jehovah's Witnesses also condemns Christ since Witnesses follow Christ's directions exactly!
  
  It is irrefutable that Jehovah's Witnesses are engaged in the greatest Bible education work that has ever occurred in all human history (Mt.24:14; 28:18-20).
  
  Jehovah's Witnesses are publishing the greatest amount of Bible based literature ever published in all human history. Jehovah's Witnesses are now publishing literature in more than 600 languages!
  
  It is also significant that Jehovah's Witnesses distribute bibles and bible based literature worldwide free of charge while other religions’ publishing houses are profit making operations. It is a proven fact that, like most “charitable” organizations, most of these groups are shams or actually end up giving very little to those in need. Money sent to them largely pay for the large salaries of their executives and preachers.

  South Park does a whole skit on jeHovahs Witnesses

  watchin the season premier of south park, something i don't normally do but just happened to catch and glad i did.

  they totally had two jw women go to one of the characters "butters" house and gave him a magazine about some sort of destruction scene that was on the cover representing armageddon.

  yet again showing that the ancient pagen name of hovah they worship really does live up to the name defined as ruin according to strongs 1943. wife and i laughed our butts off... even the world knows how the "wbtsociety" is so fear focused on destruction rather than the real love that our savior said should be our true walk and focus... .

  i clicked the blue link ( praise put up ) and it takes me to a page that tries to force me to fill out a survey before I can watch it. My malwarebytes identifies it as a malicious site .

  I have my suspicions about that too. I don't trust it.

  My Review for Terry's new book, "I Wept by the Rivers of Babylon, A Prisoner of Conscience in a Time of War"

  grappling with conscience .

  a must read, i wept by the rivers of babylon,a prisoner of conscience in a time of war, is an important self-portrait of a naive young man, terry walstrom, who in 1967 thought he was obeying his conscience when he refused to take up arms and kill.

  inasmuch as he was a conscientious objector, walstrom could have availed himself of noncombatant service in the military, but he was opposed to that arrangement.

  i am not a jw.

  i am basically here for two reasons:.

  1. i am not satisfied with mainstream christianity and i believe that jw (along with other sects) have some things to offer in terms of answering my questions.

  By the way, I had the same choice myself recently. I could have had a tooth filled, but was advised that if I didn't have it removed now because of the depth of the decay then the tooth next to it was at severe risk. I chose immediate extraction, and I'm glad I did.

  This has to be one of the most asinine questions I've ever seen here. I have an uncle who died from an infected tooth. Do whatever is necessary to ensure good dental health, and if that includes extractions then so be it. This idea of interpreting the Bible in this way is one of the things that makes me cringe. Trust your dentist because they know what's best for you.

  I used to go out of town to get away from light pollution to watch the sky when I was younger. One clear night I saw a rapidly moving bright light climbing in the eastern sky moving west, directly toward me. It was much brighter and larger than any star and moved much faster than a satellite or commercial jet. Then its light pulsed several times, going from very shiny to a dull gray and then made an instant 90 degree turn to the south. After going a short distance to the south it simply disappeared.
