It's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the Government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them. In Watts, California it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground. You can see the insanity taking place, when you allow Mobs and Fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it. I think it's like a fire that needs to be put out, the hatred and racism is getting worse. The police are on a roll with making bad choices, why did they need to chase that man down and how did he get killed? Killing innocent people and burning your neighborhood business and services down wont make things better, is this a sign were going backwards with Civil Rights?

Brother Armstrong started those Carts (circa 1982?) without the man power and probably had more success than Mute Publishers sitting on a chair texting their buddy "Hey, it's me again, I'am doing missionary work today, are you in field service too?"
The Plain Truth had better looking magazines than our rags, it's strange they put more money in their art and quality of print than this religion that claims to spare no expense when it comes to sharing the Governing Body's Message of Hope!

He's one of the reasons I stopped attending the Meeting, it's their anti-Christ practices causing good people like you to mentally make haste and leave this Fear Mongering Mind Control religion!
They ragged on Ministerial Servants that carried a suitcase to Meeting because this guy wanted to look smart. He brought the "Insight Books", three Bibles and everything a JW could bring to make himself look brilliant, go figure!

I heard the same trash back in 1974, not one of my favorite periods of my life because the Watchtower's inciting to fear and terror caused not only me but many of my friends many nightmares normal children should not have to experience! -

The parable of a king who forgives a slaves debt
by Splash inin the streamed program from bethel uk this weekend, mark sanderson relates the parable from mt 18:23-35 where a master forgives the huge debt of a slave, but when the slave refuses to forgive a small debt owed to himself, the master throws that slave into prison.. look at the details of this parable.. the master is owed 10,000 talents.
this is 10's of millions of dollars, completely unpayable.
this represents our sin which we cannot pay for.. the slave begs for more time, so the master "lets the slave off and cancelled his debt" (vs 27).

Was that point driven home by the Watchtower that the "evil slave" had the right to "choke and torment his fellow slave" that caused his fellow slaves "to cry out and run to the King because they were appalled by the slave's wickedness, inhumanity no mercy after shown infinite mercy?
The King had absolute authority unless he were serving another nation, still all his subjects had to obey and this King had the right to recall his debt if he chose!. I can't believe the Watchtower turned a one of the most beautiful illustrations about grace in to a Pharisaical one of counting one's own rights after being saved from certain slavery with his entire family.
How easy to understand, Jesus using a number so large 10,000 Talents "Gazillion Dollars" versus the Slave who owned 100 days wages! Why would the Watchtower consider the needs of some good-for-nothing, cruel and evil slave that had his fellow slave's wife and children sold in to slavery?
Has the Watchtower gone nuts taking what most religious leaders consider one of the most wonderful stories of compassion and forgiveness to personal selfishness, how disgusting and boy are they missing the points of Jesus illustrations once again!
We can get really technical about the Middle Eastern's king and queens rights to cancel and put debt(taxes) to each person. Apparently the King of this story had authority to punish a wicked slave that did not merit debt-forgiveness.

Went to a Catholic Funeral Today
by Captain Schmideo2 init was for a dear friend of the family that i have known all my life.now, bear in mind that i was born and raised jw, so my experience with catholic ceremonies can be counted on three fingers, a wedding, a "regular" mass, and this funeral mass.once they got down to the actual speaking about the deceased, i felt emotionally involved, but prior to that, i was watching and had questions about aspects of the services (these i have seen in common for all three times i have been in an rc church):why the "sing-song" voice during the prayers?
does god hear it better if you sound all spooky tenor?i observe that every time a reading from one of the gospels takes place, it is preceded by a big musical number:"alleluiah!
alleluiah"( "and nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's jesus!".

How was it versus a Kingdom Hall Funeral that mentions the Witness maybe once or twice? Kingdom Hall funerals were very disturbing looking back on them, how come we could not see they used the death of our loved ones and friends to make a sales pitch? Was the Catholic service far superior, how did you feel? -

It really upsets me that they set up at all these local community colleges. I am going to be writing to one locally, regarding their activity. Are they aware they have anti-scientific views that require strict adherence to the refusal of even life saving procedures, under the penalty of communal shinning? Are they aware that their own institution in which they are being allowed to leave literature is being denigrated as a snare of Satan? Higher education is a big no no."
We have Lit-Carts and JW-Bots standing around the two community colleges and one at the University and all they do is stand around for six to eight hours everyday. There's one story about a professor that came to the Organization because of our high quality literature that explains any topic the "questioning person has because Christendom can't satisfy honest heart people's desires!" One of my kids gets so mad seeing JW-Carts because as he said "Their frauds who lie about college" and than he loses his stack because they took fourteen years of his life. Poor baby, I remind him of someone like Billy who had to go to school at age 40 and he's getting the same degree as Billy-the-Ex is now

Do you think you should have the right to decline business on Personal or Religious grounds?
by PokerPlayerPhil inshould individual businesses have the right to pick and chose who they serve?
if a muslim decides he won't bake the cake of a radical zionist that says "reclaim the temple in jerusalem" should the government be allowed to punish the muslim baker?
maybe you can help me understand the issues more clearly because were becoming hyper-sensitive and soon your going to need a handbook what's the proper thing to say.

That was weird how my page got distorted,I did not clip and paste but wrote it out here, not even Word. I need to redo it, sorry! The confusing thing is trying to understand why people need to draw attention to themselves like the baker in Oregon and Washington instead of baking the cake and shutting their mouth. There's a young man who called in to Lars Talk Radio and Lar's ask's him "Are you African American (he could tell by his voice)" the man said "Yes, I am, why?" and Lars did the KKK analogy but this guy said "I would take their money and charge extra!" he continued with "I fought in the Gulf War 2 for everyone's freedom, doing business with the Klan won't hurt my pride".
Personally the Klan could take their cake and stick it up their keister, I don't see how baking a cake for gay couples is similar to baking cakes for hate groups. Issues are clouding up, were the homosexual couples asking the Christian bakers to write "Jesus is Gay!", no, they wanted a cake from a bakery they enjoyed and now the stupid baker is broke. In Roman times the Christians would not have declined service to homosexuals, the Christian teaching of love are clouded out by a pseudo righteousness akin to the Pharisees, not the Christian teachings..
The Pizza place in Indiana has raised almost $1,000,000 depending on which new-sources your using, being loud and vocally bias does pay to the tune of $1,000,000!
