Good point. He was supposed to be on this all-important mission to redeem humanity etc. You'd think he could have stuck around a bit longer to make sure everyone got the message properly. But no, let's just make cryptic remarks for three years and then suddenly leave everyone to argue for the next two thousand years about who has the correct interpretation. Odd.

Baptism talk this week at meeting
by Bonnie_Clyde ina friend of ours called to tell us that there was a 15-minute talk on baptism this week.
does anyone know if this was scheduled or if it was a special needs talk?
the congregation has been pushing this person towards baptism for years.

When I wanted to get baptized they kept coming up with different reasons why not. First my field service wasn't at the national average or above, and then no that's still not good enough because you MUST voluntarily comment a certain number of times each meeting, and so on. Then they would get on the platform and bleat about how you mustn't compare your service with anyone else's because whatever you can manage is acceptable to God and so really what prevents you from getting baptized... bleh.

I suggest a little remedial education on your part.
I suggested that myself, if you'll recall, but you declined to take up the offer. Look, all I meant was that if hanging is good enough for one murdering sack of excrement, then it's good enough for another. Of course I wouldn't hang Bush, and I wouldn't have hanged Saddam either.
How about this: George and his mates should have to fight on the front line in the next war they declare.

George should have been strung up beside him.
I think one should have to have a minimum IQ of 75 before you can post here. I'm not sure, but I think the above poster is right around 35...you know, right above the drooling stage.Okay then, educate me. Have a look at the number of Iraqi civilians killed by US troops, and now with your superior intelligence explain to me why George is not guilty of exactly the same thing that Saddam was put to death for.

Your answer to a JW's question "What is an alternative?"
by ukescott ina jw that i engaged in a series of debate finally posed this question.
i can see that he is running out of his "canned" answers and he wants to defend his organization desperately or he doesn't want to admit that he is dead wrong.
so he uses this faulty logic to depend his belief system.

Try applying the same logic to some other situation, just to demonstrate how ludicrous it is. I've invented a pill containing a special proprietary formula which cures cancer. Yes, that's right - the actual cure for cancer! What? You don't believe me? Well then, name just ONE other alternative cure for cancer. Go on, just one. Ha, you can't do it. A cure must surely exist, and since by your own admission there are no other alternatives, mine must be the one! Will you be paying by cash or credit card?
