  How many JW's quietly know it is all bull....or...

  at least have major doubts and flat out do not agree on some fds teaching.

  lately i have been very engaging with jw family and friends and every single one had at least one total disagreement with the fds (i told them i would not shun them for this apostacy, and to be careful who they express it to...lol).

  common non-beliefs with fds....were:.

  Oompa,

  Have you read either of Steve Hassan's books? Here's the thing, while they may think the Org if flawed, they still believe it's God's Organization, and their only means of Salvation. They do not translate the imperfections/mistakes/lies into proof that it's not God's Organization.

  Mind Control.

  My father-in-law told my wife, point-blank: "Even if this is not God's organization, I would rather be in it, than out of it."

  Blind followers, with totally controlled minds, fearful of the outside world.

  ATF, Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms

  Down South, we think that should be the name of a corner store, not a government agency.

  Perhaps you could ask them for advice on improving your people.

  No thanks. If you'd like to improve our criminals, by all means, please knock yourself out.

  Guns are the only thing allowing the American people to keep some control over their government. If the UK government decides to go fascist, there isnt one thing their citizenry could do about it, as the law enforcement have all the guns, and could break off from the government and do as they wish.

  Amen.

  The Battle of Athens is an example of American citizens taking power back from a corrupt local government.

  Whenever you receive one of these emails, you could reply:

  "Thanks. Did you hear that Prince is now a JW?"

  my daughter and i were talking the other night, about things that go bump under your bed when you are a kid.. thinking back i can remember this happening to me alot!

  but neither of my kids ever had one.

  i wonder if it is because of their lack of visits to the kingdom hall?

  Absolutely. They let their kids die, by depriving them of modern medical treatment involving blood.

  Solving the Somalia Piracy Problem - Debate Here...

  by Confucious in

  hey friends.... ok. i'm not saying that i have the solution to the somalia piracy problem.

  saturday's wall street journal had a whole article on this.. he's my solution.

  debate me, add to it, or come up with your own solution.. but the problem seems to that "people" are obviously paying the ransom demands.. lets face it... you have $100 million in oil - pirates sieze the ship - and they ask for 10 million or they blow up the ship.

  Does anyone else believe that if the U.S. had any interst in those ships, that the Navy Seals would board them and handle this situation is about 15 minutes?

  however, self defense does not require a gun. Guns are manufactured for only one purpose and that is to kill. In that sense you are declaring that your right to owning and using a weapon produced to kill - is a human right. Break it down further and you are now saying that the right to kill is your human right.....I would disagree that it is a human right but more of a private right through law. sammieswife.

  My right to defend myself is a natural right. If the attacker dies, as the result of my defense tactics, the blood is on his hands.

  Again, I don't want to break a sweat when defending myself or my family. A gun is small and efficient.

  So far, I've never had to use it, and I would prefer to keep it that way.

  Should some moron attack us, however, I'll be happy to oblige him with a little lead poisoning.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a good while back i purchased some space on a web server, hoping to develop out an ex-jw website of sorts.

  that didn't really pan out as planned, but i still have the server space and decided to do something with it.

  i've uploaded just about every single computer document i have that is related to the watchtower is some way, which comes at about just under 6 gigabytes.
