  Kind of like the "Christian" crusaders, huh? Yep those darn fanatical muslims sure do have a franchise on stupidity!

  I do not see where there is a comparison.

  At no time did the founder or leader of Christianity (Jesus Christ) tell His followers to do the things done in the crusades or inquisitions, etc. Nor is that conduct taught in the Christian scriptures (NT)

  To compare people doing unchristian acts in the name of Christianity to Muslims doing what their founder told them to do in the Qur'an is not a legitimate comparison.

  Og,

  I am leaving for work so I will make this short, for now.

  Your statement:

  You idiot. We live off them. Our food system, for example, depends on cheap labor by undocumented workers. All of our goods and our cheap oil depend on systematic oppression of weaker countries.

  When did these super-laborers come to this country? How on earth did we survive while we were waiting for them to sneak over our borders and save us? It has been claimed, on this board, that the country was built on the backs of slaves, which is it? slaves or migrant workers who built this country?

  And, BTW, if they could build this country into the greatest super-power the world has ever known, why did they not stay home and build their own countries into a world power instead of them still being third world countries?

  There are many such questions, but, you can think of them for yourself, if, you can get past the indoctrination of the socialists/communists who have taught you in our disgraceful school system.

  In the mean time, I will suffer with poverty and still deport all illegal aliens.

  Og,

  You do not know what you are talking about and all of your name calling and/or four letter words will not change that.

  I guess at this point, I wish the US would become isolationist. I would like our government to deport all of the illegal aliens; they come over our borders by the millions, living off of the workers of this country,

  I would like our military to guard our borders, to stop any further invasion of our country. I would like for our best military designers to continue to build the most powerful and effective weapons possible. I would like to withdraw all of our troops, equipment, missiles, satellite access, etc. from the entire world.

  Now, the world, which loves to hate the US, could deal with the dictators, terrorists, and madmen, anyway they choose, just do not mess with us.

  If, after these steps were taken, any country, power, or force targets us with missiles or threatens us in any way, we destroy their capabilities forever, using whatever force is necessary to accomplish the task.

  After we are no longer involved in world matters, the world can handle their problems as they choose, they can attack each other, nuke each other, overthrow governments of other countries, mass murder, commit all of the terrorist acts they choose, just do not bring the US into it or threaten the US, or God help you.

  The interests of America are the interests of the world.

  Didn't I read that somewhere?

  If it was up to the US they would be bombing poor Iraqi's by now in stead of following the sensible, diplomatic approach.

  Have to disagree with you Simon. The UN has become irrelevant. The US will disarm Iraq with whatever force is required, with or without the UNs blessing. Right now the only thing stopping the attack is, all of the pieces are not in place yet.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in paragraph 17 on page 15 of the watchtower for october 1 2002 it says:.

  "like jeremiah, we too bear an unpopular message.

  it is the same message for which jesus was despised.".

  Marcos,

  Here is another reference to add to the one betweenworlds posted. I have not had time to look for the actual Watchtower and my WT-CD is not loaded on my computer, so, I have found the reference on "Quotes" If you have the CD or Watchtower you can read it for yourself. Hope it helps. Here is what Quotes shows:

  1981 [The Gospel preached since 1918 (about the enthronement of Christ in 1914) is a "new Gospel", never before preached] {WT May 1 1981 17} [A new Gospel is an Addition to the Bible!]

  PS thanks Hooberus and betweenworlds.

  I do not think you are missing anything Link. The WT Society has even admitted they are teaching a "different gospel"

  The Apostle Paul said the following about such teachers:

  8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

  i have been reading about the witnesses for some time - but the information i read is always massively biased against.

  it is even hard to tell if this web site is exclusively designed for aggrieved ex-witnesses.

  i am at a loss here.

  What I have found it is they are broadly hated by many

  I would just repeat again that most ex-jws do not hate Jehovah's Witnesses, we hate the organization, the Watchtower Society, and the beliefs taught by the WT.

  Needless To Say...

  your harsh criticism of the watchtower is not helping matters.

  instead of criticizing the problems, why not suggest solutions?.

  this is pointless, provocative and designed to ignite a firestorm of followup attacks.... "the borg's disfellowship policies totally sux!!!!!".

  You can teach an old Pharisee new tricks if you are patient enough

  But, can you ever turn a false prophet into a true prophet?
