  Childbearing in THIS time of the End

  responsible childbearing in this time of the end .

  i heard the talk that formed the basis of this article in the summer of 1987 while attending with my pregnant wife.

  the stress was on not having children and devoting lives to preaching the watchtower's message.

  It just goes to prove what a bunch of fuckwits the WTBS (BS there stands for bullshit) are.

  They are baptizing them ever younger....if everyone had only listened to the counsel the decreases in the number of publishers would be huge.

  If you cant make the nuumbers grow by conversion...tell them all to go home and fuck like rabbits so we can have lots of new unmoulded minds to screw up.

  I wish all the dubs would stop having dub kids. The prison population would be down to 2 million in no time flat.

  Another erroneous portrayal of the wild beast.

  above is a picture whereby the scarlet beast of revelation 17 is portrayed, with the harlot aboard.

  (i found it somewhere on the internet on friday.

  ) notice the horns ... the manner in which they are presented as being shared by all but one of the seven heads.

  Question for Atheists

  by RWC in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  christians who believe in the bible and the teachings of christ use that as a moral core and code of conduct.

  for those who don't believe in god, where do you get your sense of moral right and wrong?

  what is your moral foundation?

  When two different religions have a conflict in a segment of their moral code - how should it be dealt with?

  Should they go to war and the victor is promoted as moral?

  How is this situation different than a Christian and an atheist having a conflict in segments of their moral code? (shuddup...I am not daying atheism is a religion smartass....oops sorry just a pre-emptive strike against a possible twist)

  But there is common ground to be found between decent people no matter what their value or belief system. Where their is a difference in the value systems simple measures can be used such as:
  "will a live and let live solution work without anyone being harmed?"

  In 95% of cases tolerance for the other side will allow for peaceful co-existence. For the others the laws of society will likely suffice to keep crime under control. For societies out of control...they don't last - history has proven that. The survival of the species will win. survival does not necessarily get awared to the most brutal of the species either.

  Anyway time to go and evolve some more....my fins are sore!!

  this is serious...i know many of you are serious computer intells...i am a comp user who knows how to set it up and run programs..that is about it.... i am looking to buy a new comp...soon...i have a 400 mhz, pentium ii...it locks up, gets fatal errors and simply will not do many things that newer comps can...it is 4 years old.

  my question...what type of computer size is best?

  After some prior stuff I try and avoid stuff about computer talk here.

  my quick 2 cents:
  - avoid compaq and hp
  - go for the best support there is. Buy a dell. I have switched every machine I own (yes I own a lot of them) to Dell. There is a reason for it - I am tired of fixing broken or faulty machines with unknown or propietary parts (I know the inside of a computer like the back of my hand but its so old to worry about hardware issues).

  The AMD/Intel debate is pointless from noticing real speed differences as a user. My opinion: go with the leader....support.

  What you want is support....support ....reliability...reliability

  The gadget talk is distracting. You can get fancy stuff. But when its broke or incompatible down the line...make sure the people recommending all the gadgets are available to fix it.

  Bible Fake: Jesus Stills the Storm

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've argued before in this forum that mark wanted to have jesus seem to be the messiah whose existence he believed--or pretended to believe--was prophesied, foreshadowed, or prefigured, by persons and events found in scripture, so he scoured the writings of the prophets for these stories, and adapted them to fit jesus.

  i believe the striking parallels below show almost conclusively that mark's story about jesus stilling the storm was adapted from jonah, and is fictional.. in jonah, a violent storm threatens a ship on which jonah sleeps, so mark made a violent storm threaten a ship on which jesus sleeps.

  in jonah, the apprehensive sailors waken jonah and question his cavalier attitude toward the danger, so mark made his boat's captain apprehensive also, and had him, too, waken jesus and question him about his seeming lack of concern.

  This proves that Jesus and his followers are lightweights and the whole thing including Jonah smells fishy!!!

  SAVE ROE NOW!!!

  by Valentine in

  dear friends of reproductive freedom,.

  george w bush and his right-wings friends are quietly pursuing their domestic agenda while the nations attention is focused on international terrorism.. bush's attacks on women's reproductive freedom continue.. examples;.

  1. on his first day in the oval office,bush re-instated the global gag rule,which takes family planning funds from organizations that even mention the option of abortion to their patients,risking womens lives overseas.. 2. bush has promised to re-visit the food and drug administration's approval of ru-486.and anti-abortion forces in congress have already introduced a bill to limit it's availability.. 3. with the expected retirement of 3 supreme court justices ,including sandra day o'connor,who is often the critical swing vote on abortion rights issue,bush has made it clear that he will nominate the most adamant opponents of abortion and civil rights.. the bush administration is committed to strategies that limit life saving stem cell research,criminalize abortion providers,reduce the availability of birth control and deny funding of health reproduction education in the schools.. what better way to take on the christian coalition and ultra-right leaders and movements,than to use your voice to speak up now!!.

  The abortion debate is a huge display of of stupidity and twisting of fact.

  The two sides never argue over the same issue. One fights for the rights of what a woman can do to her body and the other fights for the rights of the child.

  Until the two sides can be brought to argue over the same point, whichever one it is, this debate will never end and will always spiral into chaos as the supporters of either side "do whatever it takes" to express their fervor to defend their views.

  So while I have opinions on the matter I have realized that it is totally pointless to argue them and I have a greater chance of turning a frog into a princess than winning the argument.

  ribit, ribit, ribit....damn failed again!!!

  Are Flamers & Atheists More Mature Than JW's?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are ex-jws, flamers, agnostics and atheists more advanced spiritually and emotionally than fully-active jws?.

  this is how m.scott-peck describes the 4 basic stages of spiritual development.

  personally i can relate to stage 3 quite comfortably, but if i talk to a witness who may be a very devout and religious person i often feel as though this person is dragging me back into a lower stage, generally stage 2. what do you think?.
