Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?

by Cold Steel in

i was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.

it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.

his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

Don't you know? 'Good magic' is OK in Jehovah's Witness Land!

Bethel should be considered bad

by dbq407 in

from what i was told, we don't celebrate birthdays because the only two times it is mentioned in the bible, bad things happened.

so if the wt wants to set standards by the "two bad things" rule, then why do they use the name bethel?

i've read two instances in the bible where bad things happened there.

Bethel and the deplorable state of the current Governing Body(tm) was prophesied in Amos 4:4 - "GO TO BETHEL AND SIN". That is my version of 'new light'. If they can take scriptures out of context and make 'shit' up, than so can I.!

3.) They didn't know about the pollution. This means, in essence, they are going to go into court and say "we're idiots and these bad people took advantage of us." This option might be the most entertaining.- JeffT

This is what my mind conjured up when I read JeffT's post:

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...........................A BAD KITTY JUST SHIT IN MY SANDBOX!!!!!! SOMEONE BETTER DO SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!!

"The title search should have revealed the previous owners and the nature of their business, which should have been a red flag for environmental issues." - JeffT

Who did the title search? A home schooled newboy Bethelite? The Watchtower lawyers can't be that stupid or are they? At the slightest hint of possible pollution, Watchtower should have reconsidered their options for purchase. At the very least, they should have purchased some time of 'pollution insurance' or required the seller to purchase the insurance to cover any unforeseen difficulties with the property. It seems that the Governing Body(tm) and their team of helpers and legal experts operate from a very naïve and childlike world view.

"Pollution insurance can be a valuable risk management tool to limit potential environmental liability. It can supplement the traditional methods of allocating risk in a real estate transaction, including proper due diligence , representations and warranties, indemnifications, placing funds in escrow and reducing the purchase price. .... the parties my choose to purchase pollution insurance to transfer risk of certain liabilities to an independent third party insurer."-Gregg A. Nathanson, ESQ.

Maybe I am way off base . Are their any lawyers or commercial real estate experts posting here that can comment on this?
