  Who has killed more Jehovah's Witnesses....Hitler...or the Governing Body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society?

  another thread on this site is discussing the number of jehovah's witnesses killed in nazi germany ( 2000-2500), and a couple of threads have discussed the high incidence of suicide among jehovah's witnesses.

  (many victims of rape, child molesting, or cruel judicial actims).

  it occured to me with over seven million jws, it is likely the governing body probably has greater blood guilt than even adolf hitler.. what do you think?

  The Holocaust killed between 11 and 17 million people... I doubt if the JWs made even half that.

  For some reason this reminds me of a post on reddit where someone made a metric unit called Hitler to measure bloodguilt/catostrophies.

  Oh those Thor-worshippers and their hammers . . . .

  as i've said many times on this forum, the fictional character of thor is a dangerous and violent person who clearly does not know how to handle a hammer safely or responsibly.. to set the record straight, here is an instructional video on how to use a hammer safely.. i feel it's important to spread this information in order to raise awareness that hammers are intended as tools for making things, and not as weapons with which to bludgeon your foes to death.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5ogimmz8uw.

  Just because our deity uses a hammer doesn't mean that we do as well. I prefer to meet my opponents with my bare hands or an axe.

  think i'm becoming an atheist

  i was just thinking about how often i prayed when i was going downhill.. now i subscribed wholeheartedly to the 'don't pray for bullshit requests' concept, so at first i rarely prayed.. starting around middle school, 9/10 i prayed for friends.

  didn't really pray to stop the teasing, my fists did some of that and besides...racism isn't/wasn't jehovah's fault anyway and i can't pray for that to end when he allowed the witnesses to suffer in ww2.. through high school, same issue and then when i started pioneering and hanging out with some of the other witnesses, those prayers prayers for friends intensified cuz they were asses.. but they were dominated by the prayers to love god starting around 15. i didn't want to read the magazines, despite how much i love reading.

  didn't want to stdy the lessons, didn't want to plan my presentations, though i did enjoy giving the talks and crafting them.

  Congratulations... Though you may want to read up on the subject. There is a lot to read about the question of whether there is a God or not.

  YOU have the power to eradicate evil in the world. How would you accomplish this?

  you alone have the power to eradicate the evil in the world.. where would you start?

  you get rid of the lowest of scum in.

  the world, mass murderers, child molesters, rapest, anyone that.

  If I had that amount of power, I would offer universal health care, legalize drugs and prostitution, make sure everyone has access to adequate food, lodging, and education. That would eliminate almost all "evil" in the word. Legalization of drugs and prostitution would destroy the drug and sex trades. Adequate food, lodging, health care, and education would drastically decrease crimes related to poverty. You could also remove the profit motive for white collar crimes by going to a completely socialist system, but the risks of that solution would be greatly outweighed by the benefits.

  People generally turn to crime for profit or necessity. If you eliminate the motive, you eliminate the crime.

  Who/where are these people??

  Well, I personally know someone who slept with a mother and her daughter at the same time, someone who's son attempted to seduce her, someone who ran away at 15 with a 30 year old man who had threatened to kill his girlfriend if he didn't dump her, someone who lost their virginity at 9... and that's without including the prostitutes, strippers, and/or drug addicts I knew from High School.

  They get the people from all over... That's why they can find such weirdos. Power of numbers. LOL. Its not all weird, though... There's a lot of coaching that goes on. I can totally believe some of the crazy stuff that they headline, though.

  I don't know... Anonymous deals more in cyber attacks and demonstrations... Getting that list would take infiltration and espionage. Still... I expect we'll see something in a couple years from this... possibly. Probably not anytime soon.

  Yes, it is a mental disorder... but that doesn't necessarily mean that we should prevent people from getting gender reassignment. For that matter, I don't see a strong argument against amputating someone's hands, except to the extent that it prevents them from living as a normal human being...

  ...actually, that's probably the important part. Transgender people can function normally in society, and aside from their gender identity, are perfectly normal individuals. Therefore there is no reason to deny them their desires, desires which only help them to function better.
