  Roberta,

  As hillarious as all that sounds, I would hope you're very careful. Couldn't they have you charged with vandalism for that kind of stuff?

  What on earth happened to the magazines?

  for the first time in years today.

  to say that it took me five minutes to read the whole thing would be to flatter the rag.

  it doesn't even seem to contain actual articles any more, just headings and bullet points and pictures.

  I guess reading it won't equate to a college education anymore. Maybe an associate's degree, but that's it.

  You'd be lucky to get a GED of that colorful scrap.

  big RUSH fan .. then they said their name means Ruled Under Satan's Hand.

  Wow, just like KISS, aka. Knights in Satan's Service!

  Let's not forget AC/DC - variously clamed to me Anti-Christ/Death to Christians or Anti-Christ/Devil's Child.

  All of which are just as made up as your smurf thing.

  so what is a jw's explanation on why animals grow old and die?.....

  last time i checked, animals did not sin nor did they rebel against god.... so why do they have the same fate as humans?.

  has anyone asked this question?.

  And apparently God must have invented the sword.

  I've always found that part rather amusing too.

  bloodshed/death. God liked it.

  You kinda get that impression throughout the whole OT. YHWH was not a nice fellow.

  Self-made Persecution?

  at the recent dc, we had the 1 hour drama on sunday that focused on trusting in jehovah, no matter what events come up.

  in the opening scene, we see a father watching a news broadcast on tv, and he learns that jw's have been banned, overnight.. this got me thinking, again.

  almost weekly, we hear about persecution coming, soon soon soon!

  It is of note that the only governments (AFAIK) that have outright BANNED Jehovah's Witnesses wholesale (as opposed to, say, restricting preaching, saying it was commercial or whatnot) have been totalitarian regimes. (i.e. the Nazis, the USSR, etc.) Why? Because totalitarian governments know a good propaganda machine when they see one and they don't want competition.

  The explanation I was given was that the animal creation was never intended to live forever. That even in the Garden, animals grew old and died. The reasoning was "how else would Adam have known what death was, when God told him he would die if he ate from the forbidden tree. Obviously, he saw animals die, so he knew what it meant."

  Amazing what convoluted bunk you'll come up with when you try to treat myth like reality.

  On top of the boxes I attached a large piece of paper with the scripture from Eccl "to the making of many books there is no end....."

  That's a great idea. I may just have to do that whenever I decide to leave...
