the atheists and bible deniers love to talk about how hateful and murderous god is.
i suggest the following.
i believe that the children that were killed in warfare by the israelites were taken to heaven with god.
The fact the explanation is used for terrorists to blow people to bits should sound the warning bells.
yay, it's friday:.

does the bible have to agree with itself for it to have lasting value?.

So the scriptures are given from the point of view of men.
deaths result in religious controversyby vladimir kozlov at 14/10/2010 20:11two tragic events have attracted public attention to the way the jehovahs witnesses denomination operates in russia.
while members of the group allege discrimination by the government, many russians, including religion experts, are hostile to the sect, believing it to be a totalitarian cult rather than a legitimate religious movement.. last sunday, a newborn died in central moscow in the wake of a home birth gone wrong, ria novosti reported.
media reports claim that the mother, who was taken to hospital with severe bleeding, is a jehovahs witness.
Ilya's mother did allow blood substitutes, but it's not clear if he did receive any.

Ganley was moaning, making noises, and he had a contorted and disgusting look on his face.
This is the image that pops into my head. No disrespect to Ms. Saccany, if her story is true I hope she nails his balls to the wall. *just sharing*

Switzerland now has a majority of its cabinet members who are female, we in the UK are not close to that yet, like the US. Spain also has a predominantly female cabinet too. David

it seems as if they have survived it all.
bad press such as articles on molestations, neutrality, blood, defections of high ranking officials, crazy changes in doctrines, financial stresses, passage of a 100 years without one prophecy coming true.
yet they are still going strong with new members being recruited at a faster level than those who leave.
RICO: Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages.
Murder, extortion, bribery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, obstruction of justice, slavery, money laundering and related offenses, aiding aliens, acts of terrorism.
Just the money laundering is enough to nail them. And by "them" I don't mean the Gibbering Buddies, but who or whatever is really running the show.

Adrift in a Sea of Changing Values
this is from the november 2010 kingdom ministry pages 5 and 6;.

An unbeliever who has not been receptive to a Bible discussion may listen to Scriptural encouragement when he is in the hospital or encounters serious health problems.
If a divided household experiences a crisis, such as the death of a family member, the elders may invite the unbeliever to sit in when they give comfort to the family.
If the !@#$%^ elders preyed upon my UBM father like this, it's doubtful they'd live long enough to mark their time!
