  sunspot:

  i was not speaking regarding the merits of the case (i have not followed it closely except to hear there were various people who claimed he asked them to kill her for him). i was responding to the comment i quoted in my post.

  Who could blame him for whacking out that gold digging human garbage that tried to rip him off? Justice served.

  the above made it sound as though he would have been justified in killing her as a result of her being a gold digger. there are more important things than money and no amount of attempting to rip you off could justify murdering the mother of your own child.

  He killed his child's mother over money. That is far from justice.

  Yet another OJ drama... It's amazing how Scott Peterson (I totally believe he is guilty) can get the death penalty and yet famous figures Robert Blake and OJ Simpson (both also guilty as sin in my opinion) can walk. Go figure!

  I remember having him over for lunch and my wife cooked this enormous meal, turkey with all the trimmings, a regular Thanksgiving dinner. Later that week, addressing the congo, he made a big deal out of sisters preparing big meals for the CO when what was really necessary was that they be out in FS that day and settle for something simple and easy to prepare for lunch. My wife never cooked a turkey for a CO again.

  ROFLOL. A simple thank you to your wife for her kind efforts wouldn't do - huh.

  I remember a CO visit where I made a turkey for the lunch. The CO's wife insisted we sisters do the dishes while the brothers sat and talked. She wanted to make sure the kitchen was clean prior to going back out in service. I told her I had cooked the meal and my out of work husband had agreed to do the dishes later - LOL. She looked at me like I was insane! How could I possible expect my husband to do the dishes? They so don't get it. I worked full-time and he sat on his butt but because he was a man he didn't need to do dishes. He needed to talk with the CO so he could take care of our spiritual needs.

  She was more worried about the spots on my dishes than she was in getting back out in service. She gave me a big lecture about cleaning my silverware with hot water so there would be no spots. I did use hot water but like I cared whether or not there were spots on my silverware?

  Off my soapbox now. Your CO visit comment just got me on a roll!

  I don't know - but that doesn't mean it was a conspiracy. There is no proof.

  You speak in such circular logic.

  Apostates are merely people who have rejected a certain religion, etc. You put far too much meaning and emphasis on one word. There are tens of thousands of people who have rejected that religion and they do not all think and feel the same way. Get a life and go back to your religion if you do not want to be an apostate

  If joining the UN helped the preaching work then it was justified. No Witness would help the preaching work by joining the YMCA.

  Ask any elder whether or not breaking God's laws is justified. Better yet, look into your Bible to see whether or not breaking God's laws was ever justified. Jesus did not break God's laws and he did not require membership to worldly organizations to "help the preaching work".

  Granted, it's the WTBTS who says the UN is the Wild Beast in the first place; not the Bible. So they didn't break God's laws they actually broke their own. How fickle is that - LOL!

  Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no does not apply to the WTBTS if it's justified I guess.

  The UN thing - so what if the Witnesses joined the UN, what's the big deal?

  "The witnesses" did not join the UN the WTBTS did (unbenounced to "the witnesses"). And at the same time the WTBTS obtained a membership to the UN for use of its library they also told "the witnesses" they could not obtain memberships to the YMCA for use of the pool.

  Hmmm... Membership to UN (wild beast) vs. membership to YMCA (harlot). Sounds about the same to me.

  Double standard; hypocracy? You be the judge...

  Should God's organization not stand out as different from the rest? So what if others have made mistakes too? Alrighty, you go with that logic, the JWs are just like all the others. Just wish they admitted that instead of insisting all the others will be destroyed and they wont for some self-righteous reason.
