2. beliefs
the watchtower org does not believe that 'justice and equality' should be pursued nowadays.

justice and equality or only to be expected in a never neverland that will never come.. november 1st watchtower on page 14, shows how the borg uses ecclesiastes to teach it's slaves to accept oppression, poverty and injustice.. page 14 it discusses ecclesiastes 1:15 and explains it under:.

How did you handle birthdays at work -school?
by sspo in

when i look back, i foolish it was as people around you at work enjoyed a piece of cake and you were the only one that refused it.

you had to explain why we could not have a piece and how wrong it was in god's eyes.. looking back it was stupidity at its best, the almighty god jehovah will destroy you if you eat a piece of cake.. the jw's brag they are some of the most educated bible scholars in the world that know how to worship god..

SHOCKING!

i just managed to see the last 15 minutes or so of the 'tonight with trevor mcdonald' programme on british tv.

it concerned young children under 12 who had their blood tested and it was found they all had (at least those i saw) high levels of toxic chemicals in their blood.

one family ate organic produce and were generally the "healthy" type and yet their daughter had the highest levels of certain chemicals than others in the study.. a toxicologist said that although the chemicals were high we shouldn't worry too much as they are twice as high in the usa!!!.
