this topic, i'm sure, has been discussed many times, but today i am really contemplating the concept of god.. i remember vividly the old testament; the israelites slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children at god's direction at jericho, leaving no one alive.
i remember thinking then as a child how cruel that was.
there are many other examples.. then reading the news today i read a section in the world news about india.
Could it be a time factor. God went on a vacation and let mankind to take care of the Earth and has not returned.Much like parents go on vacation and have the children take care of the home.Well you know what happens if their are teenagers,they will invit all their friends over and destroy the house.However in the OT God should of been tried for his criminal acts.No one has the right to kill their children just because they are their parents.

an elder mentioned yesterday in casual conversation how the end must be close 'because this is the first time in human history that a black man will probably be president of the us.
all other forms of government have had their day, now that a black man will be president, the angels, mankind and satan cannot claim that jehovah didn't give every possible chance for humans to make it without his rulership'.
almost verbatim!
He meant a Black President in the USA was going to be Armegdeon for the people of the USA.

q: what's it like to be satan?.
a: it sucks, man.
i get blamed for everything that goes wrong.. q: you sound bitter.. a: what are you?
Farkel,can you ask Satan if he lied to JayCee about promising him all the Kingdoms of the World.He, Satan did not own or have all the Kingdoms, he just said he did.You know a lier can promise you anything and many will believe it.Much like GB/FDS say the end is near and all J.W. a few bricks short of a full load believe it.

the gb are the computer programmers.what they program into the computer it will not change until they the gb re-program the computer (j.w.)..
as an example: gb program the computer that a+b=c.
c=the 1914 generation will not pass away before the end.computer (j.w.
The GB are the computer programmers.What they program into the computer it will not change until they the GB re-program the computer (J.W.).
As an example: GB program the computer that A+B=C. C=the 1914 generation will not pass away before the end.Computer (J.W.) will not change unless re-programmed.The GB re-programs the the computer to A+B=D. D = Is now the anionted generation.Computer (J.W.) have a new formula and won't change.
The best example of J.W. are like computers is when someone is disfellowshipped.You see no matter how long someone loved someone,showed compassion,suffered through trials together.Went on family picnics,laughed and cried together.The loving cherished embrace of a loving daughter or son.When the GB program the J.W. computer not to show love to that person, the computer (J.W.) follow the instruction to the letter.Computers (J.W.) have no fellow feelings.
Conclusion: J.W. are programmed robots by the G.B./F.D.S.

god's guidance = only the guidance of the wts/fds/gb.
when, though, do we need that guidance?
god's guidance = wts/fds/gb guidance.
Thanks again Blondie
Q7 Ask the 14 million children under 5 years of age that die each year.
Q15 You the GB/FDS better admit and confess your SINS or be disfellowshipped for your association with the United Nations.(scarlet-colored beast).You must be humble, repent and turn around.

this magazine was disturbing to me at the time, but i lost track of it and only recently found it .
this is exactly as it was printed, no photo shop, i am not that clever.. it is credited to a newsagency, jan banning , panos pictures - so i do believe that she was a real child prostitute .
there is something that gets to me even now about this picture.
That picture is a real J.W. girl that the GB/FDS turned into a prostitute.They debase,degrade,dishonor an innocence little girl for their selfish interests.I guess pedophilia is /??///?????.
I can't imagine making my daughter doing things like that.Yet these same people will condemn someone if they go to a movie that depicts child prostitute.I must admit such movies should not be made.

PS:Most pictures of people in the WT/A are their own J.W. people.See WT.-----DVD,VCR'S and their explaination of how they incorporate these into their pubications.

the watchtower sunday made a claim to the effect that when science conflicts with the bible, the bible has always been proven to be correct.
if i had been there, i would have asked "could you provide some specific examples"?.
i'm thinking that reality is actually the other way, science always disproves the bible.
does anyone know if the wts' lawyers are witnesses who work (volunteer for free) in bethel?
or are they non-witnesses lawyers who charge the wts for their legal service?
if the latter is the case, then, isn't the wts stealing from the dubs.
I believe the scam works this way.They work for free for the WBTS,however the WBTS issues them a false invoice at going rate for Lawyers who then use this as an expense on their income tax.
Example:When a new Kingdom Hall is being built.The WBTS says it will cost 200k.The brothers in the construction business ie electrical,plumbing,painting,lumber,carpet.All will donate material and labour at an inflated price so the can get a better income tax refund,because it'a all claimed as a chartable donation.That 200k K.H. is now 500k as far as the donations.Nice way to scam the honest tax people.
I may be wrong,but dollars to donuts that some smuke that thinks he's a qualified carpenter that cleans windows will invoice the WBTS for $50 per hour for his effort.So he can take advantage of the tax provisions.Nothing wrong if done honestly.

repudiate "valueless things" .
does this mean that secular work done as to jehovah is part of our sacred service?.
may we always repudiate valueless words and cling to valuable words of truth.. ot example--moses.
Thanks for the review,Blondie.May I add a few comments?
Q10 Education..So the Attorney (Lawyers), Engineers,Doctors,Nurses,Accountants,Computers programmers,etc at Bethel (World Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses) have had their minds filled with harmful propaganda.They should be disfellowshipped.
Q14 When the FDS/GB of Jehovah's Witnesses prophecy of the generation that saw the events of 1914 would not die before the end would come.Who is telling half truth and lies.
In 2000 WT end will come before OLD FDS dies off.Oh.new light (b.s.). in 2007 whole new change on FDS.
Q17.They got this one right.The Apostates and Christendom do HAVE MORE WISDOM then the FDS.
