by Amnesty Vendor in

<div>by kelly barry, usa todaytue jan 24, 7:29 am et .

the picture for young adults is bleak.

college loan debt is at an all-time high.

that is why the seach for truth is the only adventure I can afford to go on. I cannot afford to explore the great pyramids, the rainforest, or even the grand canyon. So a few years ago, I started searching the scriptures, and started searching for truth. The last of the unknown terroritory. Lets see if the world is really flat shall we?

Who is more powerful? A leader that convinces people, or threatens/kills?

by DavidChristopher in

which do you think is the most powerful leader?.

the leader that can convince his people to follow his example, and trust him.. or the leader that threatens his people, and carries a big gun.

any thoughts?

DavidChristopher

Lady Lee...dangerous to whom?

If GWB is the most powerful man on the planet, why can he not answer a impromtu question with his true opinion, instead waiting for a poll to see where the majority is on the topic? that is a "follower" move. He is not even free to have his own personal opinion. If that is "power" I will pass on it...

So you are going to give GWB all your freedom to protect you from the big bad OBL. Then let GWB put a gun to your head, and make you do as he says. What happens when he is the source of your terror? Who is going to save you then? It is funny, you worship the person threatening you, and they consider it "spying", and hate you for it.

PRISON PROSELYTING

by Think in

what will happen when the gang mebers, murderers and others prisoners become jw, and then sooner or later will learn that this is man made religion, false prophets lies and make ups?

will they take revange on the wt leaders, or will they slaughter all cult members in anger?

DavidChristopher

Jesus wouldn't. But I guess they have the final say. It would be a shame to kill them, think of all the good people who love them, who would be getting hurt too. I don't want my mom killed because she listened and followed them.

Guess that is what it boils down to....As bad as I hate what they are doing...would I sacrifice my mom to stop them? HELL NO! I would find another way to stop them!!

That is why we were given brains.

Can you abolish the freedom to disobey or disagree to put an end to crime?

by DavidChristopher in

is it possible to put a stop to crime, yet allow people the freedom to choose to commit one if they choose.. or do we scare them with threats to the point they abandon and are willing to throw away that freedom, and abolish everyone elses for "safety".

is "freedom" and "safety" fighting a war?

are they opposites?

Is "freedom" and "safety" fighting a war? Are they opposites? Is it ever possible to have both?

Yeah me too...

My dad had me arrested for talking about these things to my mom and little 16 year old brother. He told me to leave, but refused to tell me what I said wrong, or explain why he wanted me to leave. I asked how I was supposed to know so I didn't do it again next time. He told me to leave "or else" and started screaming at me, and called the cops. They arrested me for "criminal trespassing". the kicker is, my mom went to the meeting left me there, and asked me to talk to him while she was gone. So I obey my mom, question my dad, and go to jail.

Is this a "free" country?

I am glad you have a dad like that. I still love mine too.

Do you fall back to blaming the "Wicked Sytem of Things" for everything?

by AK - Jeff in

as witnesses it was the 'catch all' phrase.

we blamed illness, crime, economic probs, job issues, marital probs, and whatever else came down the pike as the fault of the wicked old system.

recently a former friend of us, a long time witness had a stroke.

DavidChristopher

I had 2 witnesses, explain to me yesterday...That the tree in eden was like a mother who made two cakes, one for the children, one for some guests. the children were at fault for eating it and disobeying the mother while she was gone. EVEN though the oldest child is the one who convinced them eating part of the cake was ok. If you punish and kill the babies from eating from it, are they ever going to know why you punished and killed them? Shouldn't the oldest child who misled them bear the brunt if not all all the responsibility for the babies "sin"?

They did NOT want to hear this...and insisted the babies should be punished too, but could offer no explanation on how or why they felt this way. I hope Jehovah does not feel this way, and they are truly "false prophets", as they are bearing witness against THEMSELVES as well!

Is this not a "self destructive" path and "belief"?

Osama: How You Like Me Now?

by prophecor in

osama bin laden says he's willing to call a truce.

bush administration says, " in a pigs eye, kiss @$$ !!!

is he manipulating the situation to his advantage, or does america have him on the run?

DavidChristopher

So OBL has loyalty, and SH had millions of dollars around him. Who is still free?

OBL must be good at convincing others to follow him, and SH was better at making people scared of him to follow him. Which is more powerful?

I don't remember SH enlisting any suicide bombers to protect his country. Why is that? SH had scud missles, OBL has suicide bombers. Which is the greater power?

weapons or words?
