I'm not sure why... (Comparing presidents of the US to Watchtower presidents)

by slimboyfat in

but lyndon johnson often reminds me of rutherford.

is there anything to that comparison?

i gather that johnson had a very fiery temper and was disliked by many around him; drinked heavily too, was a womaniser, no stranger to dirty tricks, and was fond of power more than idealistism.

You mean, besides the fact that they were both lying assholes?

am just saying he is doing the kid a favor! Even if parents rights are paramount in these matters they should have more sense then naming a kid that way.

I agree. I don't understand when parents give children odd names that are only cute for the first few years of their lives. They're the ones that have to go through life with that name. Why not just send them to school with a wedgie already, and save the other kids the trouble.

Was Paul a "tentmaker"?

by CyrusThePersian in

in acts 18:2,3 we read:.

"there he met a jew named aquila, a native of pontus, who had recently come from italy with his wife priscilla, because claudius had ordered all jews to leave rome.

paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.".

could it be that "Paul" was a tentmaker, but in reality it was just 'morning wood'?

Damn you, Talesin, you stole my thunder. I was just about to inject a comment about 'pitching a tent'.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY believe that their worldly friends, relatives and small children will be slain in the street by god?

i mean, it's so utterly ****ed up, it's unbelievable.. just think about the nitty gritty of it:.

people that they love & care for who don't share their religion deserve to be killed, left without a grave & eaten by wild animals.

one day, this will happen & they'll be surrounded by billion upon billion of decaying, rotting corpses.

The reply was "When Armageddon comes Jehovah can read all honest ones hearts, and many who are not witnesses will be saved."

Is this a new slant? Or was it just a way to try and get me back? I suspect the latter, but shows that even die hard JWs can't stand to think of billions dying.

It's not a new slant. It's how JWs, even those who fully understand the ramifications of Armageddon, are able to justify it to themselves.

why do i care?

it seems the people being screwed the most are also the most visciferous defenders of the status quo which sees them being severely disadvantaged.. maternity leave?

If a person or country makes the claim that they/it are the best, then it is fair to call them/it on it with contrary documentation

Kind of like we do with the WT on a regular basis.
