They have weird beliefs. They belief that the universe was created by aliens, I think. Lots of famous people are Scientologists. John Travolta, Tom Cruise, etc. They also ask for lots of money and prohibit the taking of medicine and psychological/psychiatric therapy if someone gets sick. justahuman - but supernonetheless

Scientology??
by Junction-Guy inwell i know very little about scientology, but from what i have seen on this board, alot of xjw's feel it is even worse than jw's.
what is it about scientology that makes it seem worse?
the reason i ask is i was passing through cincinnati the other day returning home from dayton and there was a scientology church in downtown cincinnati.

If you are talking about the God of the Bible, yes he can read minds and hearts. He knows everyone's emotions but most of the times, he chooses not to. What do you think happens when someone decides to pray in silence? God still "hears" our prayers because he knows what's in your mind and heart. justahuman - but super nonetheless

Was C.T. Russell all that bad?
by Sad emo indisclaimer: this is a question purely about russell's bible teaching, not about his personal life, whether he was a freemason or whatever else.. ok, russell set himself up as a bible teacher, a lot of his theology was borrowed from groups such as the adventists and certain pyramidologists of his time, and i agree that a lot of his conclusions were plain crazy.
my question is this - was the movement he started simply another misguided christian denomination with genuine motives as opposed to what happened after rutherford took over and added all the dogmas?
does russell bear any of the blame for what the wbts has become?.

IMO, I think he was sincere in what he believed without any malice. He definitely was not a control freak like Rutherford and posterior WTS presidents. He was more in association with other preachers and denominations than the WTS ever was. And even though he attacked the Catholic Church, he didn't do it so angrily like Rutherford and other presidents did. He was friendlier.

Watchtower condones murder - but make sure you disfellowship for smoking!

WOW!!!
I just read the other thread that talked about this. It's unbelievable. I mean, I know talks with a religious leader is supposed to be confidential but if he's a fugitive and if he really has become a "true Christian" to the point of getting baptized, he should hand himself in to the authorities. And it's just wrong on part of the Society to ask the elders to keep it hush hush. I mean, what if he kills someone else in the congregation?
*sigh*

Neither, I guess.
James Brown was never a favorite of mine. I didn't listen to his music or anything. He danced well, that's about all I know.
Now Ford. Well, some people view him as a good president but I think that he did wrong by granting a presidential pardon to Nixon for the Watergate scandal. He should've let him go to jail. He deserved it for being corrupt and for later trying to hide evidence that was bound to incriminate him.
