77What would the world be like if everybody was a Jehovah Witnesses
by TotallyADD inon the news the other day they showed a young man after graduating from high school went out and got drunk and had a bad car accident.
he was paralyze from the waist down.
instead of going into deep depression of what he did to himself he started his life over and went to college and was involved in inventing a exoskeleton for disable people.

How so,see Awake July 2011 page 29. "God deplores the mistreatment of humans"
See how God really treats humans:Lets start with the 1st book of the Bible:
"I shall greatly increase the pain of your pregnancy"
"Cursed is the ground on your account in pain you will eat its produce----- and thorns & thistles it will grow for you"
And how about killing Er then giving Ta'mar to O'nan only to have him killed because he (coitus interuptus).Just think of the suffering of the widow.
Many more,drowning babies

The Bible - is it really the GOOD Book - if so why?
by cantleave inafterall , it condones murder, genocide, infanticide and a plethora of other nasty things.
it is contradictory and unscientific.. hell; lets be honest it's hard to read and harder to understand.. so why is it called the good book?.
discuss!.

Let me illustrate it this way ,see 1 Kings CH.13.
God gets this nitwit to do 4 things:1.Go to Jeroboam.2.Tell him he is in big trble.3.Leave by a different route.4.Don't eat or drink anything.The nitwit screws up,God gets annoyed,gets a lion to do his dirty work and waste'em.Not only that but God frustrates the lion off by telling his he can't eat his kill.
You ask me if this is good,come on.

F.S.says we are to abhor today's movies
by bobld inmovies are filled with violence,murder,sex,nudity,etc.by watching such movies we corrupt our minds,degrade our sound principles and moral values.. at d.c/c.a they will have a family demo of how beneficial bible reading,wt pubs,f.s.etc.they will act out a bible scene,maybe little shepherd boy david or building an ark.they will never act out a realistic scenes such as:.
moses saying'why have you let all the women live,he ordered to kill all the boys and women but not the young virgins:.
how about "stone to death any women not a virgin on the wedding night.".

Or Ps 137:9 'Happy will he be to smash your children against a rock" And one more Is 13:15,16"Killing children before their parents and wivies raped.
I do not think the movie industry has a rating for Bible based movies.I get sick to my stomach because these are real in the Bible.When you watch a movie say a John wayne he killed many Indians ,he killed them over and over yet they lived it was all make believe.

Jehovah's Witnesses & Higher Education
by minimus ini believe that jws demonize higher education so much, that it makes them look like weirdos!.
you and your family are penalized if someone goes to college!.
when i tell any "worldly" (aka "normal" person) that witnesess view higher education with disdain and ridicule, i always get the same response:.

Isn't it ironic 3rd world countries are senting their children to western countries to get a higher education because they see the value of higher education to escape the proverty of those countries.Yet the GB/FDS tries to get their slaves educated in the languages of these foreingors so they can convert these educated one's to be their D-D slaves.
Also it has been mentioned by the Faithful slave that even if someone get's a degree,he/she won't necessary get a well paying job and if one does get a good job and makes a lot of money and a good retirement loot he lives and dies so what good did it do him.Do you see the double talk,both sides of their mouth,fork tongue.They are full of IT.

He created a defective Earth---earthquakes,hurricanes .snow,floods etc.Yes his is responsible.For example if man builds a defective car or road he is responsible.But man will correct the defective car,road, building etc.Why has not God corrected earthquakes.tornadoes.

by LostGeneration incouple of things i found kind of interesting.
on the front it has the wording "qualify to live in the paradise" or something to that effect.

conform???.

Thanks Blondie
Q10 Good comments; I would add He felt like a hypocrite when he shared in the field service placing Watchtower/Awake publications"
Q11/12 Why would anyone respond to the FDS when they say it is OK to join the UN.
q19 I would say"Unseen eyes are on you all the time,not trying to catch you doing something bad:but to see the good you are doing"Which it the total opposite of the WT/GB/FDS.

June 15th WT - WT Society Pressures JW Parents to Indoctrinate Children
by flipper inin a non-study article in the jw only watchtower is an article titled " should youths get baptized ?
" the wt society is losing young people in very large numbers - so how else to try stemming the exodus than putting pressure on jw parents to indoctrinate and instill mind control into their children ?
in one section here in this article it almost sounds like a version of " 20 questions " that the wt society asks parents to determine if their children are making " spiritual progress " as they phrase it.
