Theonomists, also known as Reconstructionists, are far more extreme than others. They believe in the establishment of all Old Testament civil laws. Jehovah's Witnesses might be in the habit of saying "If you were in Israel you would be stoned" but Theonomists would actually do it if they had control of an entire nation.

Are JW's non- violent
by notalone inokay, i keep reading something and though jw's do not get involved in national wars, my experience has always been they are very violent people.
every convention i have ever been to was filled with children being beat within an inch of their lives for just not being able to take a third day of mind-droning silence without being able to move or now even sleep.
i have seen whole congregations laugh at stories of children being beaten and calling out to "jehovah".

It's a matter of semantics. Violence applies only to physical abuse whereas inflicting verbal hurt is known as verbal abuse.

Finkelstein,
In the last couple of years the WTS has made more than billion dollars in selling many of its real estate holdings. $$$
They have also dramatically escalated their demand for congregation member's money. They have done this even to the pathetic extent of making video cartoons directed at children encouraging them to use their ice cream money to the WT. Literally.
It shows a JW girl, about ten, who's daydreaming of buying ice cream. She has the coin in her hand but before she does that she watches her mother drop in a contribution. She then daydreams about all the things the Watchtower does and after her daydream she decides to drop her coin into the contribution box.

UC Berkeley Reverses order cancellation of Ann Coulter speech
by blondie inuc berkeley orders cancellation of ann coulter speech.
officials at the university of california at berkeley on thursday reversed their decision to cancel a speech by conservative firebrand ann coulter.. the university had announced wednesday that it was canceling coulter’s appearance following several political protests in berkeley that turned violent.. but on thursday, the university said it had found a venue where it could hold the speech on may 2, instead of the original april 27 date.
however, a leader of the college republican group that originally invited coulter said the university was placing strict conditions on the event, and he said his group intended to reject the new terms.. before the reversal was announced, coulter had vowed to go ahead with an appearance anyway.. that probably would have put security officials on high alert and might have sparked another showdown in struggles over campus safety, student views and ideological openness.. “what are they going to do?

Even though I would have let that sociopathic bitch give her speech one thing needs to be emphasized. Republican/Conservatives have been hatemongering for decades. They are like bullies who keep hitting their victims until one of them gets to hit back. Then the victim is considered to be the bully.
People like Ann Coulter and the right wing media have been demonizing people to the point where the most unstable of them grab a gun and kill people. That is how I would introduce her right before giving her hate speech.
You reap what you sow.

If I may suggest 20 pages as default. Scrolling will make it difficult for us to find a particular post especially if it's a long thread. The page numbers really help us in zeroing in to a particular post. -

Do you air on the side of caution?
by compound complex inwell, that would be an airer.
it's all in how we hear the spoken word.

When I was in the JWs as a teenager I was hearing this song and I told the elder that I thought the song line said "I never can study the Bible"He told me that it was "I never can say goodbye".
But really, that's common. In old Shakespearean times the words hour and whore were pronounced the same leading to some pretty ribald jokes. In modern day English you have different words, spelled differently but pronounced the same.
Like two, to and too. Or blew and blue.
