Depends on what day you ask me. Some days man I feel like if I had the power I would eradicate the human race. Just obliterate mankind. I've said it before, but somedays I feel like 1 out of every three people you walk by is a scumbag. That might be the JW upbringing rearing its ugly head in me. I can't always tell. There was a Transformers storyline called All Hail Megatron. The first handful of issues into the story showed the Decepticons slaughtering major cities. It was truly beautiful. Somebody finally wrote Megatron the way he should have been written. a genius mastermind. Some days I wish I had that kind of power, but also Megatron's conscience. I wish I could turn off my emotions like a light switch and just clean house. At the end of the day though ,who am I? There's plenty of good people in this world doing good on behalf of all of us. Plenty of people with golden hearts. I think we forget that too many times because negativity tends to be sexier than the positive.

If you had the power, would you erase humans from existence?
by sabastious inif you could, would you make it so humans never existed?
because of all the pain and suffering humans have endured for millenia and, in turn, erasing all the glee and bliss experienced as well.. -sab.

I was expecting to get to the very end of this article and find out it was written by SD-7. So there is some legitimacy to this article? Crazy. In all my life I've never known the WT to donate anything. Everything and anything not WT related is part of Satan's world. So what gives in this case?

Strange enough, no one mentiond this so far :
Mystic River
I forgot about that flick. Another movie where I hated the ending. You know by the end of that film, I hated Sean Penn's wife. That flick really had a twisted ending. The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon is a similar film. Its messed up too.

I'm loving how the general consensus on the new song book is that it sucks. Hilarious. You don't have to be an apostate posting on here to recognize how sucky the new songs are either. "It should be possible for us to memorize the lyrics" SMH. They're getting more and more delusional up there. When will they ever learn, you can't regiment faith.

Something that bugs me is how they've lost their way in regards to spiritual food. Being fair, some of the articles they publish I like and can agree with in respects to moral related matters. To me, that is spiritual food at the proper time. What bothers me is that they spend a significant portion of space in their articles reminding you of their authority. Its as if they lack confidence in themselves, or have serious self esteem issues. They remind me of my dad. Anymore I hate calling my dad, or him calling me. The reason being is that all he wants to talk about is how messed up the world is. He got mad at me a month or so ago because of what I stated was his reason for always speaking negatively. I told him, "you're trying to convince yourself the world is messed up, and the end has to be near. Thats fine so long as you don't try to convince me cuz I'm sick of hearing all that negativity." He was furious because I pulled his card, and he knew I had him. Its the same way with WT literature in regards to this Faithful and Discreet Slave teaching. They're trying to convince themselves it exlusively applies to them, and trying to convince their readers too. Me personally, I feel that your activity should speak for itself. Barry Sanders didn't have to argue that he's one of the greatest running backs of all time. His stats made the argument for his being in the Hall of Fame. The same should be with the WTS or any other Christian group that touts itself as a slave or steward. I get sick of hearing them pat themselves on the back every article.

If the FDS is to lead us, then why wasn't this written in the Bible?
by 3Mozzies inif the fds is to lead us, then why wasn't this (see below) written in the bible?.
matthew 24. while he was sitting upon the mount of olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: .
tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?

I've researched the WT CD Rom more times than I care to remember trying to find some kind of article supporting their interpretation of The Faithful and Discreet Slave as actually applying to someone or some group specifically rather than a simple illustration. So far I've found nothing. Maybe Blondie or another researcher type on here can find something. The only argument I've heard them make supporting their interpretation of this parable, was, "because we said so."

I quit following this thread around page 5 or 6. Seeing it at page eleven, I had to come in and see what the fuss is about. Essan, you still giving this fool a spanking? Have you no mercy Essan? I feel like Mills Lane breaking up the fight. Eggnogg, its over man. You've been on the recieving end of a thorough shellacking. Give it up breh.

Loyalty Keeps Us Morally Clean
by sd-7 ina rebellion had begun.
in moses' absence, the israelites built a golden calf and engaged in idolatrous reveling.
the clamor of their immoral festivities was clearly identifiable as improper.

I can't believe how you've perfected their writing style!! I remember when you first started doing these and how funny it was then, but now not only is it still funny, its also somewhat scary LOL. One thing I like about your mock articles is that it really takes the seriousness out of their literature. Some people hold WT literature in the highest regard as if its reading The New Yorker, or the Wall Street Journel. Anybody with even an ounce of intelligence who expects quality out of their reading material will laugh at WT literature. Their material really is just poorly written. Its not satisfying intellectually or spiritually for that matter. Your mock articles really highlight how pathetic the Writing Department has become. Its really sad.

Does This Raise Any Eyebrows?
by Ding inseveral years ago when jws built a new kingdom hall in the area, they sold the old one to a pentecostal church!.
i thought, "now wait a minute.
they took a building dedicated `to the service of jehovah' and transfered title to one of the 'churches of christendom' to be used in their 'satan worship'???".

Plus I think with zoning laws, often times religious buildings have to be sold to another religious entity. I've seen that happen with Kingdom Halls that eventually were turned into Mosques after being sold. I guess its the same with Assembly Halls.
