The UN, the Kings of the North and South, the generation that was alive in 1914 that will not pass away, 1975, etc. The nostalgia brings tears to my eyes.

My teen daughter is being pressured to get baptized :(
by lola-rabbit inmy oldest teenage daughter (15) is a publisher and goes to all meetings with her father (we divorced, he picks her up).
i try to get her more involved in school and to spend more time with friends outside the congregation.
i'm to the point where i'm going to simply forbid it and send her off to collage early!

What kind of legal committment can your 15 yr. old make without your consent? Buy a used car on credit? no. Sign up for cable TV? no. Buy a house? very funny.
But she can dedicate her life to obey the Jehovah's Witness cult. The agreement, consumated by a public ceremony equal to a wedding, includes extremely serious sanctions that can impact her life forever. "Mentally Deseased" and shunned like a leper in the 10th century. The reposession of a used car drops off a persons record in no time.
Someday there will be a serious legal challenge by an unbelieving parent who will expose this creepy child abduction scheme.

The Catholic church called them "heretics".
Most of us remember from history the fate of "heretics", whether Catholics or Puritan prostestants. Death wasn't enough, they had to be tortured by fire, water or mechanical means. Then their bodies were put into cages and hung in public places until they dissolved.Noun 1. heretic - a person who holds religious beliefs in conflict with the dogma of the Roman Catholic Church misbeliever, religious outcast castaway, outcast, pariah, Ishmael - a person who is rejected (from society or home) 2. heretic - a person who holds unorthodox opinions in any field (not merely religion) recusant, nonconformist - someone who refuses to conform to established standards of conduct -

I Called the Headquarters About the "Slaughter of Apostates" Quote
by DT inin case you haven't heard, the november 15, 2011 watchtower, page 5 made this comment.
"today, no servant of jehovah uses physical force against opponents of pureworship.
"vengeance is mine," god says.

"... Today, no servant of Jehovah uses physical force against opponents of pure worship. “Vengeance is mine,” God says..."
To inject this lame disclaimer into the middle of a bloodthirsty-toned diatribe showing how God Himself deals with apostates is such an obvious "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" it's stupid. "Implied threat" is so true.
This paragraph from the WT absolutely belongs alongside the "mentally deseased" discussion that is currently in the press.

The Walrus Was Paul
by MoneurMallard inmany new testament biblical students today of both messianic jewish and christian backgrounds, are finding out that paul of tarsus simply doesn't fit with the remainder of new testament theology.
there is an article i've recently read, from the judaism vs. christianity dot com website that deals explicitly with this topic.... well, now i cannot seem to access it, but here is the link:.

my first impression of the beamed cottage we rented for a week was that it was dusty and in need of refurbishment.

Glad, Enjoyed your sketch. Good writing!
Sort of reminded me of 'Kingdom by the Sea' by Paul Theroux.

More apostate hating from the Watchtower
by Igot2bme ini ran across this post on fb-.
the november 15, 2011 study version of the watchtower, has this to say in an article praising jehu's actions against the family of ahab.
"the prophet elisha sent one of the sons of the prophets to anoint jehu as king and to instruct him to kill every male of the apostate house of ahab.2 ki.

Are we all still FAMILY? Yes or No?
by Greybeard inhere is why, even though i no longer agree with most of what the gb/wt/jw's teach, i still feel especially close to all of us who were apart of this group.
born in or converted.
we all have had the same life experience of being raised in a over bearing mind controlling cult.

I write this through tears in my eyes. Yes, we have all shared a common experience that no outsider can really comprehend. We are family. I want to get to know all of you well enough to borrow money from. No interest, vague terms and complete sincererity.
