  White marine beaten by group of black men using Fergusen case as excuse, media won't say 'black men' though.

  by EndofMysteries in

  this pisses me off, after all the news agencies that point out that things such as the ferguson shooting were a white man killing a black "kid" (18 years old and if an 18 yr old is accused of commiting a sex crime then suddenly they are a "grown man").

  now look at this story from ny times, "a 32-year-old marine was beaten by a group of men outside of a mississippi restaurant after he was warned it wasn't safe for white people in the wake of the michael brown killing in missouri," .

  so black on white crime, i guess they can't say "a group of black men", it just has to be a group of men?

  Is Faith Immoral?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when people willfully believe something without evidence, or contrary to evidence, are they neglecting thier moral responsibility?

  so many people say faith is a virtue but i just can't comprehend why anyone would think that.

  Whether faith is immoral is sujective to the results of that faith.

  A person who has faith that putting others needs ahead of their own and sacrificing some opportunities in their life for helping others will result in a better future or afterlife for them, that isn't immoral. (immoral is also subjective though to each individuals viewpoints).

  Now take ISIS, they have 'faith' (if they really believe) or just using it as an excuse, that murdering non believers of their cult will give them a good afterlife is immoral.

  Either way though, the JW version of 'the last days' and 'the end' is not what the scriptures teach, they have tons of things all mixed up.

  I'd love to live forever, but either as spirit or if human then with star trek technology and infinite other planets to live in and explore. This planet is small after you have traveled all over.

  O and another response to OP's post, so do you wish you were dead right now? Are you upset that the person you were when you were 3 years old, 6 years old, 10, 15, 20, etc, are all long gone?

  We also only use a fraction of our brain, there is a man who has remembered EVERY day of his life and if given any day he can tell you what occured that day. (forgot the name but I'm sure google can find it quickly if you are interested).

  Good quote and pictures. Now 3 additional quotes and pictures that would nicely supplement that are.....

  1. The printed material that says that he never said 1925 was certain, only a possibility and it's everybody elses fault for taking it so seriously.

  2. The quote about how dead anointed brothers such as Russell are directing the work and involved in the new light.

  3. The quote about how he never said such a thing that any dead anointed brother was doing anything and whoever thought such crap is a dumbass.

  "Go Where the Need is Great" - Is this phrase unique to JW's only???

  by AudeSapere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "go where the need is great"... it's one of those jw buzz-words/phrases.

  almost like a secret code that just pops up in what would otherwise be a 'normal' conversation.. .

  i was conducting an interview with a candidate this afternoon and she used this phrase when explaining that she travelled to various locations of a previous employer.

  Not that exact phrase but many other churches set up missions, etc, for countries and poor areas that need help.

  To quit the tracking and adds, if you use google chrome, for EVERY site you visit for the next week or 2, right click on it and click on the screen, then click on "page info' then under the permissions tab, click on "show cookies and site data". Then block every cookie that is not relevant to the website and all obvious advertising cookies. Some websites will only have a few, and some websites like yahoo.com you will have to cycle through a few times because they'll throw 100 cookies/websites at you to try to track. After a few days to a week you'll be track free without the hassle of blocking all cookies and unable to do much.

  Right now there are shaving ads on this page, but that's probably because of the words in this thread.

  http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/26/us/arizona-girl-fatal-shooting-accident/index.html?hpt=hp_t2.

  "a 9-year-old girl learning to fire a submachine gun accidentally killed her instructor at a shooting range when the weapon recoiled over her shoulder, according to arizona authorities.

  another reason to go against those arguing that young children should be taught how to use guns.

  A few posts asking if there is ever a need for an uzi. The only time I can think it might be appropriate would be for instance the owner of that quickstop that was looted and burned down. If he had been inside the store w/ an uzi, he could have mowed down the horde of criminals that spewed inside after breaking in the door.

  The officer who shot him, "wasn't white". Why didn't they just say, "the officer who shot him was black"?

  And if Obama had a son, he would have been the officer.

  Bumping this at Nathan's request to see evidence of people advocating that young children should be handling firearms in light of the uzi incident with the 9yr old girl.
