10Are you really drawn to a God who wants to kill you?
by hamsterbait inthe question a jw will ask at the doors is often.
"have you ever wondered why the world is in such turmoil?".
of course their "answer" is that a snake told a naked lady to eat some fruit 6 000 years ago, and as a result god views us all as unworthy of life.

Did he really say he missed the fun of 75? I was there and know the damage it did to many people who sold homes, quit jobs and or moved to places that they took menial work to survive until that date. I know of several people who quit working for GM and moved to North Michigan and had just enough money to live to 75. Many of these people did not have kids, or go on tirps or save any money bla bla bla. It fuc%ed them up big time. Its not a game and its not funny, no more than Jim Jones Kool Aid is a joke. Peoples lives are at stake and they are basing it on crap that is as fake a big foot, in fact as little evidience as there is for bigfoot thats more than the evidence for Jesus or any of the fantastic stories of the bible.

The Bible: God's Word or Man's?
by Doug Mason inmy jw visitor left me a copy of the 2006 print of the book "the bible: god's word or man's?
", and i intend to provide him with my analysis of it.. i notice that the book was written in 1989, and the dates of the references suggest the book has not been updated since then.
am i correct?.

Do you really need to ask? It is the ramblings of plagiarist's who took the stories from other deluded stories.

Why would God stop man from building a tower that reached into the "heavens" and yet let modern man reach even further with a space station and moon landings?

this is just one of the many stories that make no sense and is nothing but biblical crap. This book is not worth useing for toilet paper. Its full of anicdotal garbage that is not even good fantasy. Homer was a much better writer and he was not telling us he was inspired by god. LOL Lots daughters were so in need of having children that they could not walk the fifteen miles to the next city and had to get lot drunk and have sex with dad. WOW, great book how should we fu#k off o lord?

Even if it were true, and I highly doubt it is, they do not tell you that the fall away rate for new people is in the 97% . The dubbers have lied about numbers since the days of 10s of thousands of dubbers died at the hands of the Nazi's, Uhhh 5 thousand, wait 2 thousand, uhhhhh, 6 hundred. they lie because the rank and file never questions the smallest thing, they gulp down the Kool Aid and ask for more.

The Great Global Warming Collapse

I think to dismiss it outright is another fallacy. There is some evidence that the tons of CO2 we put into the air each second has to have an affect. This is also a neocon talking point that has to be looked at with a lot of skeptisism in the first place because of the Republican agenda of giving every thing the big corps want and being bought and paid for by big business. We are in two wars one based on neocon lies and we should have had much more of a critique of Bush and his WMDs in Iraq than we all did. If Backman says it I have to take five steps back and say wait a min. she is as insane as anyone in Belview. There may be some skewing of the rate of GW or how far it can damage things, but it would be a fools idea to think that the world can burn millions of bbls of oil a day and tons of coal and other garbage pumped into the air and think it has no affect.
Further how many times have big corps published their own reports and to this day say smoking has not been linked to any lung cancer? Or that pumping some crap into the ground has no link to the increased cancer rate of children or lukemia deaths that have increased in their area? Corporations would cut your mother open if they thought she swollawed a penny and not think twice. So when people and ideas backed by these neocon idiots come out against an idea or thesis that may hurt thier bottom line I will hold judgment and take their backed reports with the little respect they deserve.
American has become a country of bowing down to the alter of money and how much I can get even if it screws some little guy. It is government regulation that is needed and what Bush set aside that allowed the banks to do what they did that brought us to our knees and after all that we still have no comprehensive health care, the big insurance compnays bought off the republicans to be the party NO, we have no regulation not one new reg. on the banking industry or wall street the two that brought us the almost collapse of our whole economy. But the neocons insist everything is fine and we just need to deregulate more.
So when the Neocons tell us that there is no global warming I have to think they have several dogs in this fight and every reason or $ paid to them by big business so why should I believe a thing they say? The short answer is I shoud not. ClusterFox noise has been a shrill for the big bisuness for sometime and have been one sided in their coverage. When they fight even the smallest thing like wind energy or electric cars or any common sense conservation and instead have "drill baby drill" as their solution to our energy situation I have to think who is backing them? big oil and so their ideas have to be suspect.

The cult has dropped many dates, 1914 will be one that one day has to into the bin with the others if the cult is to survive. The younger generations that will be seeing this in fifty years will have to be blinded to its history or it would not survive long. Religion is not good vs. evil it is more like evil vs evil or religion vs religion. God is a fantasy that does not exist and is a crutch for those to lazy to think for themself and want to be told what to do as sheeple.
