I think the double life is more pronounced in the org than people think and that will have a big affect on numbers in the future.The biggest downfall for this religion is its young people,it cant keep them no mader what they do.It is a joke, most all the young people lead double lives.As some one who was pluged into the young people seen in the early 90s I can tell you its not good for the watchtower.I had alot of friends from alot of congs and geuss what,most of them left,very few have stayed in the org.Without young fresh blood the org is in for some problems.

Will Watchtower Fold Like The Taliban?
by metatron inone day, you have a religious movement calling for.
total sacrifice, that every man should fight to the.
death in god's service.. a few days later, the leadership is negotiating a. surrender in disgrace.. could this portend the future of the watchtower?.

Nice come back, attack my grammer.Yes im a shitty speller .I dont care about fucking grammer, im to lazy to spell ckeck and care about sentance structure.Typical of a JW to talk about something else when there argument gets to uncomfortabe for them.

rex if I am to belive in the supernatural I have to have a supernatural experiance and I have not had one.I will not base my experiance of the supernatural on a crapily written BOOK or the ramblings of people like you who think they hold the keys to etrnity.

Should I call the local elders
by joelbear inwitnesses always say if you have questions, you should discuss them with the local elders.. most of you have seen over the past few days, the 5 or 6 questions which led me to leave the witnesses and take up my hedonistic lifestyle.. should i call the elders and give them a chance to answer my questions?
i've asked my father some of them, but it always turns into an argument and upsets my mother too much for me to really pursue the discussion as far as i would like.. just to reiterate.. my questions are:.
1. is there a logical explanation of god's justice system for the universe, which includes all sentient creatures and how they are judged?.

I will take a stab at your questions in my opinion. #1.The reason gods justice seems unfair is becase god is a mythical made up concept of control seeking humans so they can delude themselves into thinking they can be eternal. #2.I dont beleive anybody can have total truth.As far as JW being a loving org, if you have spent any time with these people you will realise your answer in no time.

Hey aussie are you bashing us.This coming from a contry whose exports are three very bad paul hogon movies and an insane crocodile man.But I would love to live in your contry cause Im lazy and austraila is the lazy mans capital of the world lol.But as an american I need to point out that baseball is not the game of choice over here.The NFL is now americas game.Baseball is slowly dieing over here becase americas attention span is that of a ferret on a doubal expresso.

Thwiz you discust me.Let me ask you you would you stone your kids to death. Thats supported in the bible.Well why dont we do that,because people learned that was an inefective,barbaric and moraly wrong way to punish kids.And so its the same with shunning.You dont deal with problems and people in need by ignoring them.Children do that.Jesus said love your enemey and pray for them.Shunning has been totaly denounced by mental heath pros and any truth seeker.Sunning is reserved for amish,cults that are afraid of information and assholes.

Harry Potter Movie
by Abaddon ini saw this on saturday and.... now i am a servant of the dark lord bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!.
... it was very cool.. visually very faithful to the books; eerything looks as it 'should', which is really hard.
the screenplay was an acceptable compromise between the brevity neccesary in converting a book to a film, although one part (the dursley's leaving privett drive to escape the letters and being hunted down by hagrid) was done very badly.. the actors were excellent, and (thank god, nothing against american's, but i object to english stories being americanised for no reason other than american cultural imperialism) an excellent cast of top-quality 'supporting' english, or i should say british (as robbie coltraine is great as hagrid (and big!

agreed gweedo phantom menace was the most disapointing movie I have ever seen. Chewy cant be killed of becase the next movie takes place before the other three.You must have heard somthing else.Hopfuly it will be jar jar. Also about great soundtracks in movies, #2 on my movie list would be last of the mohicans.an awsome movie and the music made it even better.
