  they are abused with calls of go home, and terrorist, little children are subjected to it as well.

  a villa park councilwoman named deborah pauly echoes the rhetoric of pamela geller and even calls for the murder of participants (who she labels terrorists) at the charity event.

  Where are our resident Tea Scum Bag apologists? Isn't this what you're all about? Don't you have the balls (or ovaries) to heckle children? Come on, be brave; at least behind the anonymity of a monitor and keyboard.

  The Gentile Times Reconsidered

  by Spade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  disproving the date 1914 as a significant year in bible prophecy is of great importance to some (e.g.

  carl o. jonsson).

  along with the meticulous details of bible and secular chronology, broadening one's horizons when assessing exactly what this date represents when compared against the 6000 years of human history likewise has merit.

  Spade, playing the reviled martyr:

  "I'm perfectly happy to let them go their way and keep posting trashy pictures if it makes you feel better. That comes simply because I support Jehovah's Witnesses and other reasons not related to this thread. "

  Go ahead, become one

  What's stopping you?

  What Doctrines or JW Views Did You Not Find Too Believable?

  by minimus in

  the thought that a loving creator would violently destroy anyone not belonging to the jehovah's witness religion including billions of babies seemed just not right.. the fact that you could recieve some "acceptable" blood components but could not donate those same lifesaving yourself seemed strange.

  you could recieve a blood fraction but you couldn't give it.. any others you can think of?

  The 1919 teaching. It seemed to me like an appendage added to 1914.

  A frog in boiling water?

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know where i've heard it before(perhaps from a circuit overseer talk) but someone associated with jehovahs witnesses made the analogy.

  that if you put a frog in a pot of boiling water it will jump out immediately, but if you put the same frog in a pot of cold water and slowly heat it up.

  the frog will not notice the gradual temperature change and will cook to death.. the overseer or elder used this illustration as a warning to say that gradual changes in morals around us- we will not notice and get cooked alive.

  It's an old saying. I recall it's being used in political discourse to signify the danger of losing our rights by slow increments. I'm sure the Watchtower simply borrowed the phrase, not caring one way or another as to it's truthfulness.

  Spade:

  "Contributors like “Leolaia” and “AnnOMaly” and a few others work the mannerly logic while spam artists like "OUTLAW" and others work the ad hominem attacks. It's all meshed together with trashy overtones. This says much about the overall character of this discussion board and why I take nothing here seriously."

  You're wrong about those who ridiculae you, Spade. That includes me. You see, if you were a serious debater, engaging in a bonafide discussion, I would not bother posting my images and neither would Outlaw. The thing is that you're a joke. Even Leolaia who ridicules no one and doesn't engage in Ad Hominems has addressed herself to you and said:

  "Whoa, whoa, whoa, now just wait a minute. You either don't get the point I've been making or you are being intellectually dishonest."

  "It seems that your only reason for insisting on the last two months of Cyrus' first year is because that's what is demanded by Watchtower chronology."

  Which is her polite way of saying,

  The Psychopathic Clown Parade. Updated Reports.

  2. friends

  i will be posting videos and articles where ultra right wing hatemongers spew some new insanity.

  i know, they seem to be running out of new ideas and are desperately trying to get more creative every day.

  but they sure do try their best.. now, for my first instalment.. it seems that the prince of clowns, glenn beck, is not being too creative after all.

  Hoenig on Cashin' In: "Wealthy Earners Should Pay Even Less. The Poor Should Pay Much More" In Taxes

  http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201103050006

  I apologize for not being able to post this video directly but I stronly suggest that everyone watch it and pay close attention starting at the 1 minute 20 second mark.

  This, so far, is the ultimate in right wing depravity. Hoenig, a regualar on Fox News (Should that surprise anyone?), is actually saying that the upper 2 percent are not only the ones who create wealth but that they should be paying less in taxes than everyone else because "...they are the ones who actually work for a living..."This is the comment starts at the 1 minute, 20 second mark.

  It is not worth arguing with a man who despises workers with such impunity that he makes it clear that he would send us back to the middle ages where aristocrats ruled by divine order.

  People like Hoenig merely state blatantly what the majority of right wing, corporate authoritarians believe, but don't have the guts to admit in public. People like Hoenig and the rest of his vampirical hordes are no different in spirit than Adolf Hitler, with his concept of a "Master Race"; or General Lee who fought to defend a race of "Master's".

  Does one seriously think that you can educate, illuminate, infuriate enough people to stop them? Unfortunately the answer is yes. I'm not one of them. Hitler and General Lee reasoned by the barrel of a gun and by the same barrel can they only be responded to. It is, and will continue to be downhill from here on. And the situation created by people like him will only synergize with other problems that will soon beset us.

  There is, and has always been to those fully aware of psychology and history, only one solution....

  I hope to start a thread on the subject of psychopaths, the havoc that they wreak on the personal level/social level without being in a position of political or social power; how they are concentrated in positions of power; and the need to come to a realization, as clinical psychiatry and neuropsychiatry has done, that they are absolutely, irredeemably incorrigible and incapable of change.

  Anyone who has known one for any length of time, with an objective mind that is not emotionally bonded to them, knows that. No degree in psychology is needed to perceive the blatantly obvious.

  i have been living in china for several years now and my only fear was that one day, i would need to use one of their squat toilets.

  i cant squat that close to the ground but the chinese can with their feet flat on the ground and without raising their heels .

  so the day finally came when for several weeks i was forced to use one.

  13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole andcover up your excrement. 14 For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you.Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.-Deuteronomy 23:13,14 New International Version

  Has anyone noticed that God can't see through a few inches of sand?
