11Is the Love of Neighbor Why The Tower Banned Smoking?
by WTWizard inthe watchtower society cited two chief reasons why smoking should be a disfellowship offense.
first, it defiles the body.
second, it betrays a lack of love on account of the second hand smoke that pollutes the air for everyone else.. but, is this really so?

Mr. Zimmerman is the business. One of my very favourite love songs is Don't Think Twice. What about With God On Our Side too? Incredibly powerful song . . .
Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.
Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.
Oh the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.
Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.
When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.
I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.
But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.
In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.
So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war. -

Would Witnesses Kill If Ordered? Probably!
by metatron inas a functioning cult, would jehovah's witnesses kill someone, if ordered?
i believe that many would.. while some might think this is farfetched, i can cite some examples that manifest a lack of concern.
for the lives of others, that could easily be extended into murder or manslaughter.. 1) forcing older brothers into jobs at bethel that were far too strenuous for them - as a means of.

Metatron that's strong medicine.
Who would they (hypothetically speaking) kill anyway? Apostates? Surely they don't hate Apostates that much.
If someone used to be a Jehovah's Witness, "We must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme ~ active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest." Watchtower, 10/1/52, p.599.

Bets on when the UN prophecy will be dropped?
by marmot innow that i'm free to bet, i figured it would be neat to start a pool on when the watchtower is going to change light bulbs on the prophecy about the united nations turning on worldwide religion.
there is no doubt in my mind that this prediction will be dropped.
not only is this the longest-running unchanged prediction in the wt's history (1925 and 1975 had much shorter gestations) it's the last detailed concrete prediction the society has left in its bag of tricks.

While we're talking betting pools, I was wondering who the next celebrity would be to find "the truth" I'm going for Britney Spears.(5/2?)
Marmot this could be a lucrative engagement, there's much scope for betting here on JWD, such as when and if the WTS will make the 144,000 a figurative number, and any other new light designed to get them out of the $hit.

First it was her mum in hospital, then it was me, just for a night, though I've been ordered to rest and given 6 weeks off work, and now Linda (fullofdoubtnow) is ill. She has a really bad bout of flu, which started yesterday, and I expect she'll be in bed for a few days. I just fed her some soup, which is about all she can manage at the moment, and she's gone back to sleep now.
She sends her love to everyone on the board, I expect she will be posting again in a few days, but for now, she's confined to bed.
From the movie The Ballad of Trev and Linda

LOL Buttlight they might operate some kind of rota system, where they take turns at causing serious disasters or involving themselves with trivia, eg
Satan - "Right Ted, tomorrow you're on arson, Thursday you're freaking out Dubs and Friday you've got toilet seat banging again I'm afraid."
