A gun should only be used to kill evil intruders in your home and in your life. This, of course, includes home evastion criminals and worse, members of the GB and certain Elders. (Let the reader use discernment.)

11Self Defense And Eschewing Violence: Mutually Exclusive?
by Cold Steel init seems that the views on handgun ownership and weapons are sporatic among jws.
if i understand it correctly, it's generally okay to own guns and knives as long as they aren't to be acquired as weapons...even self defense.
some jws say they have no problems with gun/knife ownership; others say that it's easier not to tell anyone they have them.

Epimenides paradox: "Epimenides The Cretan Says, "All Cretans are Liars"
by frankiespeakin inthomas fowler (1869) states the paradox as follows: "epimenides the cretan says, 'that all the cretans are liars,' but epimenides is himself a cretan; therefore he is himself a liar.
but if he be a liar, what he says is untrue, and consequently the cretans are veracious; but epimenides is a cretan, and therefore what he says is true; saying the cretans are liars, epimenides is himself a liar, and what he says is untrue.
thus we may go on alternately proving that epimenides and the cretans are truthful and untruthful."[1].

Along the same lines, there are statements which if they are true they MUST be false and if they are FALSE they must be true.
"This statement is false" is one example.
For that statement to be true it MUST be false, and if that statement is false, it HAS to be true.
Yet another dilemma, eh?

It doesn't matter. You are doomed.
Also, this statement is incorrect:
: When I was dedicated in 1978, a "governing body" didn't even exist to me. That was something just forming at the time.
The modern Governing Body was formed about 1972 or 1973, not 1978. I left in 1974 and that arrangement was already in place.

:Are Mormons "racist" towards black people?
Ahem. I can speak with some authority on this matter. I was born and raised in the hotbed of Mormonism, to wit, Salt Lake City, Utah. My High School had 2,500 students and in my sophomore year had only ONE black kid. Behind his back, the students started to call him "spear chucker". The kid found out about it.
Thereafter he INSISTED that all students and all teachers call him spear chucker. In class he would not answer a teacher if the teacher did not call him by that name, so the teachers complied. Within a few months this kid made many friends and in fact became one of the most popular kids in school.
This was in the mid-1960's when the Mormon religion was still rather racist. I've been back home many times since then and the religion has pretty much given up on their outdated racism.
At least the Mormons moved forward with the times.
Too bad the WTS hasn't with their outdated and insane policies and practices.

When I met Ray, I thanked him for his first book and told him it validated every reason I left the WTS long before he was DFd.
He spit on me.
I asked him why he spit on me. He said, "Well, I spit on Karl Klein. Why not you?"
I replied, "I would have spit on Klein, too. He was the resident GB idiot."
His reply? "I like to spit on people. I spit on Cynthia all the time."
So I spit on him.
There. Now you know the entire truth.

This one is easy. Tools. Anything a man can put in a toolbox or hang in his garage will be perfect, especially if he doesn't have it and will never use it.

I wonder if they will write to all the 'anointed' or just suprise them at a meeting?
by snare&racket inwriting to the partakers legitimises their claim of being anointed.
they also dont trust these people so will they let them know early?.
if they inform the munchers of emblems 'on the night' the whole cong will see the dissapointment, shock, despair, stabbed back.. on their faces as they are demoted to other sheep authority in this life, with the boss powers only coming in the next life.

This kind nonsense all started when the quintessential lunatic, namely Chuck Russell "discovered" that God's people and all other people all fit neatly into "Classes(tm)." He identified many dozens of such "Classes(tm)" during the time he wasted precious oxygen on this earth.
Rutherford further defined and refined them and then re-defined and re-refined them, and Freddie took that mantle from him. In Freddie's world, Freddie himself was the ONLY member of the FDS he could specifically identify to his own anointed fellow GB member and nephew.
NOW there are only 3 classes of humans: the 12+/- elite, the second class worker bees and evil wordlings.
At least things are very simple nowadays in dubland.
