by minimus in

can you believe that "historians" are trying to deny that such an event ever occured??

this guy was getting 300 letters a week because of his anti-jewish stand.

makes me sick!

Maybe we should just round up all the holocaust deniers into some kind of camp so we can concentrate them all in one area. That wouldn't be the least bit hypocrital.

What has hurt you the most for being a JW?

by MsMcDucket in

jw
friends

.

or what do you regret most about being a jw?.

for me it's being alienated by my twin daughters.

Gopher hit it right on the head when he mentioned the paranoia of wondering which of the kids at school would grow up to be the U.N. corporal to storm my house searching for contraban Watchtower literature and murder my family. And even as I outgrew this fear, realizing my peers weren't totalitarian timebombs, two scriptures ruined my life. Two scriptures:

"Friendship with the world is emnity with God"

and, of course,

"Bad association spoils useful habits"

They were always lurking in the back of my mind. As soon as I started to have a good time. As soon as I discovered the true meaning of the word "fun," my cult programming told me I was alienating God because I dared share a sense of comraderie with a non-Jehovah's Witness. I'll never forget, at age 17, my mohter forbidding me to apply for an afterschool retail job because it would be difficult not to fraternize with "those people" after hours. I guess she figured the people there might want to befriend her son, the dumb rotten bastards.

Noah's Ark was likely an event of Alien life helping Noah after comet?

by Franz in

most people assume that noah built the ark.

but the book of noah clearly suggests that the angels were its builders.

perhaps the angels mentioned therein were extra- terrestrial aliens.

Which massacres did Jehovah sanction?

by Spectrum in

the ones i'm familiar with are from the repercussion of the rape and murder of the levites concubine.

judges 19-21 .

about 100,000 died in battle then all the towns of benjamin were put to the sword as were the people that didn't join in against the benjamites.

On a secular basis, if you concede that a pet rat as has more neural tissue than a 16-week fetus (which is true), it is hard to see abortion as barbaric if carried out early (as is the case in a society with decent health systems and liberal attitudes towards sex and sex education).

What many consider barbaric is that if you concede the living entity in question is your son or daughter (which is true), comparing him or her to a vermin worthy of extermination is disconcerting. Wasn't there a Watchtower article comparing worldly people to rats not long ago?

Who is more powerful? A leader that convinces people, or threatens/kills?

by DavidChristopher in

which do you think is the most powerful leader?.

the leader that can convince his people to follow his example, and trust him.. or the leader that threatens his people, and carries a big gun.

any thoughts?

MungoBaobab

Yes, but the only reason Saddam is no longer leader of Iraq is because George Bush had a bigger gun. As you yourself point out, anyone that comes against the US ends up looking like Swiss cheese.

Judges 18:27 As for them, they took what Micah had made and the priest that had become his, and they kept going toward Laish, against a people quiet and unsuspecting. And they proceeded to strike them with the edge of the sword, and the city they burned with fire.

Ever see the movie Conan the Barbarian? The opening sequence contains what must be a fairly accurate re-enactment of how the Merciful God Jehovah, the very Personification of Love, sent his people to destroy a "quiet and unsuspecting" village when it introduces THE VILLAINS!!!!

PRISON PROSELYTING

by Think in

what will happen when the gang mebers, murderers and others prisoners become jw, and then sooner or later will learn that this is man made religion, false prophets lies and make ups?

will they take revange on the wt leaders, or will they slaughter all cult members in anger?

MungoBaobab

I don't know about that. Prisons are havens for unconventional religions; rebellious people choose rebellious belief systems. True, as a JW you're expected to conform to the expectations and standards of the WTS, but there must be something comforting to someone on the fringe of society to join a religion which holds that essentially all traditional authority figures (clergy, politicians, police, scientists, etc.) are pawns of the devil and destined for a violent end.
