prove yourself ready!.
prove yourselves ready, because at an hour that you do not think to be it,.
Blondie, Thanks to you my 'critical thinking' is alive and well.
It is sickening really, to realize that I used to gobble up this stuff and not even notice all the "evidentlys, perhapses, maybys" etc ....so naive of me. Some days I just feel like kicking my a$$!!!
Keep up the good work, it's so appreciated!

there is such an international flavour on this board .
and i really love that.. as an xjw .
how do you feel these day's about your country .
Love this country of my birth. Couldn't leave it.
Now that I've lived so long, I can look waayyyy back and have to say that I miss the "old days".... when life was simpler, less traffic, buying a house was affordable, home invasions and shooting deaths were almost unheard of... you could leave your doors unlocked! Oh well, still it's best place on earth for me.
Heaven, thanks for flying the flag!

many here are familiar with this entry in wikipedia .
for those that aren't, here's a link;.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/joseph_franklin_rutherford.
Reading about that man is stomach churning!
You're right, Murray, his personality is stamped all over this religion and strangely even more so lately. Seems that when the gb want to 'tighten' things up ... they just get more Rutherfordish!
His fingerprints are on every aspect of this cult as your quotes show.
I wonder where the idea came from, that if you are DF'd from the organization, then your prayers wouldn't be heard. Did this idea came from Rutherford also?
"Bible Students who opposed or abandoned Rutherford to form new groups were increasingly described as the "evil servant class" by The Watchtower, which said it was wrong to pray for those who were "unfaithful".
cheers

Infowarrior, if you've ever had a look at pagan or occult or mason stuff, it is hard to miss it when your eyes catch it again. Dug out my copy and it just looks like a very colorfull illustration. ......hmm
In the first enlarged pic ......look to the left at that standard. Under the 3 circles you can easily see the "the goats or rams head. Have a look at this link.
There are probably a few things in the next pics but ........have a look at the first soldier on the right, with the funny brown helmet on his head.
This one really stands out (pun intended). Scroll down slowly looking at the helmet. Whatever he is reading, from that scroll, must be pretty exciting!!

genesis 3:22 - and the lord god said, "the man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.
he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.".
within this scripture lies a very perplexing statement to me.
Wow yeah, you'd sure think so. We start teaching our children to know what is bad and what is good, from an early age. Not to do this, is bad parenting!!

i'm trying to figure out if i'm the only one.
it actually feels weird because i would assume this is geared at teenage girls, not, like...28.8 year old men.
but it seemed like an awesome adventure story, the best i've read apart from some of the truly great star wars novels (the best ones are largely written by matthew stover).
sd-7 hmmmm, your'e right I'm starving. Think I'll grab that left over apple pie!

Sure hope no witnesses show up, still thinking it's 1975 finally!
I guess if you really believed this stuff, and sold everything and run up the credit cards, then when it doesn't happen ... you'd almost have to slit your wrists! lol
