i've read some of chomsky's books, including manufacturing consent.
one thing i prize in him is his fairness. whoever does the killing,
gets the credit for it. whoever engages in terrorism, gets credit
for it. simple!
naturally, the USA gets a lot of credit for terrorism, since (by their
own definition) they engage in it so much, or abet others in doing so.
the USA is not the only country or group employing terrorism, just one
of the biggest and most active.
i happen to know that chomsky does not condone anyones terrorism or
killing, ours or theirs.
so, ROLLERDAVE, could you please show by chomsky's own words why, among
other rather pompous remarks aimed at him, you said:
"The man is a hack, an apologist for Marxism and an accomplice to Pol Pot's full-time hobby of slaughter, his hands are as bloody as the system he excoriates. Pot, meet kettle."
EMY THE INFIDEL, could you illustrate the truth of the following remark
you made, by showing which of chomsky's words bear it out?
"RollerDave -- I wasn't going to mention Pol Pot and Chomsky's condoning of his mass killings."

Who is the Lord of lords?
by Antredd inin order to understand who the lord of lords is, some groundwork on god being one needs to be established as biblical truth.
if the bible in deuteronomy says that god is one, and that hes the lord of lords, then would it make sense to say if there were two lord of lords, then one of them would have a lord that he wasnt the lord over?.
if the two lord of lords were equal, then they both would have a lord which doesnt make sense and contradicts the bible about god-jehovah being just one lord of lords.

"If the bible in Deuteronomy says that God is one, and that He’s the Lord of lords, then would it make sense to say if there were two Lord of lords, then one of them would have a lord that He wasn’t the lord over?"
WOW!!! this is a really really good question.
one that everybody on this board is dying to have answered!
another good one is:
is it possible for me to be my own grandpa?? -

Hi from a newbie here
by tere1998 ini joined this site about a week ago and have enjoyed reading all the posts and chatter.
i was raised in the jws, baptized at 17 (didn't know any better) but once i got married and had a baby, i just didn't have enough time to go to all the meetings during the week.
we got the "shepherding calls" and pretty much were looked down on for not going to all the meetings.

satan versus jehovah in the last two hundred years...
now this is new light to me, and helps bring the big picture into focus
what really convinced me was how that woman was trying to write
such drivel "in the midst of gingerbread and baked beans in the kitchen,
and a baby at her feet"......satan for sure!
ha! ha! she sure met her match when the lord sent abe along.
thanks, leolaia! -

hmmmmm....
due to the suspect nature of this topic....
and in order to protect the integrity of the board, and "post counts"....
i move that the total of minimus's posts on this thread be subtracted
from his grand total...
in the interests of fairness, of course. -

So here's what I'm thinking...my bleeding heart liberal rant...
by changeling ini heard on the news this morning that the us has finally met it's enlistement quota.
they acheived this by offering a $20,000 bonus upon enlisting.. the us has also relaxed it's standards as to who they allow to enlist.
a criminal record and drug issues will no longer keep you out of the armed forces.. so, in many cases the country is sending uneduacted, criminally inclined young men and women to a nasty war, to witness atrocities that furthur sear their conscience.
