If the Israelites had thought that Ahab was apostate, Jehu wished them to believe that he was far worse.
Interesting.
in case you haven't heard, the november 15, 2011 watchtower, page 5 made this comment.
"today, no servant of jehovah uses physical force against opponents of pureworship.
"vengeance is mine," god says.

there is a fringe discussion that pops up now and then regarding jesus' name.
if he joined jwd ( and let's be honest - 'where else would he go?
') what username would he choose because that would cause all sorts of theological threads alone...?.

this monster who molested then killed 11 children in the early 80's died today.
something with the jw mindset which has always confused me is with the resurrection.
so they claim that there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous to a resurrection of judgement.
Yes, he was a sick, sadistic, twisted f**k........
And according to the JW's, more deserving of a resurrection than any of us.
my first two exams were this week.
things didn't go well.
the classes are tough -- math and science.

Wow, the comments are coming in fast!
if you are visiting this site for the first time, or for the first time in a long while, i would appreciate if you could click on the following link and participate in the 2011 global survey of jehovah's witnesses.
both active jehovah's witnesses and former jehovah's witnesses around the world are invited to participate anonymously, and the results will be forwarded to the governing body and world's media.. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/t7zm5zc.
this thread will be updated with the results of the survey (for the time being at least) should you be interested.. in its first 3 days, the survey collected close to 400 responses.
This is not the first time that Desirousofchange has entered a thread, thrown around a bunch of accusations and then disappeared when those accusations are answered. I rarely see him/her add anything to a topic except snarky remarks, then disappears.
I also took your survey, Cedars. I think while it's not scientifically accurate, the results have certainly been interesting and worth discussion.
