Oh geez Vampire, I just came back on, to apologize to you for sounding a bit snarky to a 'bud'! ...and there you are, ...and yes, that is my schtick(1 of them!). How clever of you to see that!

It's much too long a story! I do have some Red Hot buttons and think I am under attack when that might not be the case. Damn amygdala reptile brain anyway!

Thanks for caring. I'm off to work.

BIG WEEKEND JW NEWS STORY EXPOSES HEARTLESS CULT

by West70 in

the following newspaper article appears to be the original (and more lengthy and indepth) article from which associated press took their "summarized" (and less informative) story which is being picked up by a number of television stations and newspapers across the u.s. .

this better version should be forwarded to media outlets as a more informative version for their audience.

they also embrace political neutrality.

So is this a new story or 4 yrs old!

Neutral... my butt! Is there a more a blood thirsty "christian" organization!

All you have to do is just speak to 'the disfellowshipped' and you will be cast out too!

Which means you're condemed to DEATH. And their decision, will make God stop hearing your prayers! lol

They are so not neutral, that they would kill the 'disobedient' except that the Laws of the Land, stop them from doing so.

But their Shunning Policies still do kill ... family, friend, & business relationships. They affect where and how you live. They break to pieces your heart and leave you no hope of future life!

I wish the following quotes could be sent to every newspaper & magazine, not only in the U.S but in Canada also.

Nathan Natas - regularly exceeding expectations!

one secret to success is to follow the example set by previous successful people.

in neuro-linguistic programming this is called "modelling behavior.".

minimus has show himself to be a person of spectacular, virtual "overnight" success, but we all know this is a result of rigorous daily effort and a pathologically high level of self-esteem.. i crave the same rewards - sex, drugs, rock n' roll - that minimus has enjoyed, and to obtain them i am willing to cast off my previously humble reserved nature and indulge in blatant self-aggrandizement.

The Doctrine of Hell

by Yizuman in

is the doctrine of hell a hindrance or a help in witnessing?

many evangelicals are ashamed of this biblical doctrine, viewing it as a blemish to be covered up by the cosmetic of divine love.

but this dishonors gods word.

clarity

Deputy Dog,

Not sure I understood your point. The point I was trying to make is this: After you die .... you are either Righteous or Unrighteous.

If you are deemed Unrighteous you go to hell. Yes? If now you must suffer Hellfire ...how will you feel it forever IF you are dead?

So then, if you are dead, God would have to bring you back to life. It would have to be Eternal Life, so that He could punish you & you could feel the pain forever! .......... BUT, it is only the Righteous that get Eternal Life not the UNRighteous.

Righteous = fullness of life

Unrighteous = nothing
