the creation of fear and the control that it allows must surely strike a chord.. recently i saw christian bale in the machinist.

"deleted" what a word! Sounds like a science fiction movie.
I know, it sounds like they pushed a button with his name on it and vaporized him."Let's just say he was 'dealt with'." ---scary!

Right now it probably sucks for him but obviously deep down he has other ideas. Maybe not about the "truth" but he's probably more of a free thinker than everyone wants him to be. Being in a family like that is most likely the only reason he was an elder. In his situation he was probably seen as a prodigy and had no choice but to fulfill his "destiny" and become an elder.
It was probably something stupid he was D'd for. With the witnesses, if they ran a company, you could work there 25 years, never be late, never take a sick day, and be the model employee and they'd fire you for getting too much change back at the vending machine.

Is god really a good leader?
by LtCmd.Lore innow that i feel free to think about whatever i want i have been questioning everything.
so here are my thoughts on whether or not god, at leasy the one described in the bible, is fit to command.
we don't have very many examples of him ruling over large groups, but here are the main three i can think of.

How do you get over a crush?
by lonelysheep inhow do you tell your heart to not give a bleep anymore???
what can you do to shut it off completely, i mean, for more than a week?
eyes are hard to control sometimes, as are hands to type with.

IMO--I know it'll suck but you have to actively pursue it or you'll never know. The last thing you want is to be wondering what if. And if it doesn't work it'll be devastating. But not more devastating than the constant wondering. Time will heal it. Right now, time is making it worse.

Hey, those come in handy sometimes!
Keep your head up SP. All you can do is your best. Anything beyond that is out of your control.

Earthquakes and rumors of war or whatever ;o)
by Hellrider ini was so inspired by the ridicolousness of thirdwitnoid in that other thread ("the gentile times reconsidered again...but this time i am using the bible"), in which he actually dared bring up the old "increase in earthquakes"-fairytale from the wt and asleep.
it really had nothing to do in that thread, which was about 607 vs 587 (oh no, not that again.... datelocationdeathsmagnitude.

If that is the main criteria, Jehovah's Witnesses being around, then there is no other 90 year period.
The war deaths and earthquake deaths cannot possibly be the same. Population...The greatest wars man has ever seen happen now because those kind of wars WERE NOT POSSIBLE before. There can be no world war if you can't freely travel across the world.--????? Why is that not obvious? Those same stats can be used for anything. What about "There has been more infant deaths since 1914?" There are more infants!!! "There have been more haircuts since 1914 than ever." There are more heads!
Never before have we seen such war, famine, etc.--yes. Why? Never before have we seen so many quickie divorces by celebrities. Why?
Never before have we seen what each ruler of each nation had for breakfast this morning.--Why?
We know everything that happens right from our living rooms.
What about The Mongolians? Compared to the population of the Earth then and now was that not a huge war? The entire continent was at risk. If they had B-52's wouldn't they have branched out even further?
Bottom line is that this is EXACTLY what drives people away. Not thinking freely...Eating ANY "spiritual" food that is given, and then driving it into others heads like it is law. The WTBTS's law IS man's law. Unless they are prophets. THE most inaccurate prophets the world has ever known.
And just like the technology to bring war and communication, that same technology is what is bringing people away from the WTBS.
I really am sorry I responded to this again as it is like discussing politics. When someone has stock in an organization, there is no talking to them no matter how clear cut it is.
Once again, thanks for reminding me why I will never go back and why I will always fight to keep others away. ANYTHING other than a controlling man made religion. Hmmm, how about if you believe in God, try THE BIBLE. I know that is a crazy idea to study the Bible without man's input. But maybe that is what it is for, to settle the speculation, not start it.
There is no prize for whomever guesses the last day.
