  You may slip into your lectures tidbits about how important higher education is and how backwards and ignorant it would be for anyone to disrecpect it.

  all five cases are still within the criminal justice system.

  I was under the impression that Borg attorneys practiced law privately as well as for the Watchtower corporations. I didn't think any of them actually lived at Bethel like rank and file Bethelites. Also, I thought the attorneys who work for the Watchtower got paid, just like the JW suppliers for the Regional Building Committees do. They're not volunteers, they're employees. I think. I could be wrong.

  People are so stupid and controlled by the media

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading today about all these people who are upset at the big banks for charging more for accounts, to off-set cost for the change in regulations.

  people were saying, "banks are greedy" and "banks are unfair.

  " which is the common thought among society about several key industries.

  What I always find interesting about JWN, is that no matter how much freedom we now have to speak our minds. There is always a poster or two that wants to be an elder and say, "Hey, I want to control this a bit and set guidelines."

  and

  I can see your kind of ignorant on TARP money, so I will educate you.

  What I always find interesting about JWN is that no matter how much we discuss logic and reason and fallacies, people still show the world they've lost the argument by resorting to ad hominem attacks. Kudos on another failed JWN politics thread!

  No Christian Congregation in Australia according to the Witchtower. HAHAHA

  by hamsterbait in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in the continuing court battle in australia, the legal counsel for the witchtower babble and trash religion shocked witless onlookers by saying the there is.

  "no christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses in the state of victoria," or indeed the whole of australia.. hahahhahahahaha!.

  at least they are not perjuring themselves as any fool can see that their congregations are not "christian".. check this on barb andersons thread!.

  I don't think that's 100% correct, BP. "The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses" sends letters to congregations worldwide, with instructions from the HQ about how to do various things. They may not have a formally registered presence in Oz by that specific name but the JW congregations sure submit to them and their hierarchy.

  2. beliefs

  like many of you i am fading and am trying to stay the course rather than be dfed due to family ties.

  but i so badly want to simply write a letter and be rid of this giant weight on my back lately.

  just like a bandaid that is easier to just tear off, i guess.. .

  The letter is playing by THEIR rules. When you want to walk, just walk. Don't give them ANYthing.

  addressing the argument, made by many christians, that with no god there can be no morality.

  What is the most immoral thing you can do to a person; the thing that hinders man's "well being" the most.

  Answer: To kill him.

  That is not necessarily true. Sometimes euthanasia is a mercy.

  OK

  Was it moral to assassinate Osama?

  Not without a trial, no.

  Was it moral to drop the bomb on Hiroshima?

  Yes, because it saved more lives than it ended. Net win is moral.

  Was it moral to kill millions of unborn children decade after decade? How about all those "girl" babies in China? What about that second child that the saline solution missed and the doctor smothered with the placenta. Was killing one moral, but the other 5 minutes later, immoral?

  Um, no, those acts are not moral.

  Atheism can not produce an objective basis for human valuation.

  This statement does not follow from any of the preceeding. There is no evidence for it at all.

  i get to work, turn on my computer and right away open a tab for jwn, and scan through all the new topics and updates on other interesting ones.

  then i leave that tab open all day long to look at the threads when i have time.

  then i go home... and read crisis of conscience!.

  JWs and "path to enlightenment" do not belong in the same sentence. The Borg is a giant cow patty on the path to enlightenment.

  I thought it was great, except the JW part on not drinking. JWs are some of the biggest drunks I know.
