  this image is on page 9 of the 2013 april public edition wt.

  is it me or has that long hair been digitally lengthened?

  the longer portion of his hair doesn't even blend with the hair closest to his roots.

  Are all the reflectors on the bikes regardless of the position glinting in the sunlight? Surely that much sun would produce shadows, somewhere and what is that blue square in the top right of the picture?

  Controversial essay- cull 20% of the poor.

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  a controversial essay is part of aussie news today.. the essence of it is that the state needs to kill about 20% of the poorest in the community, to fix its financial problems.

  it is, of course, claimed to be 'tongue-in-cheek,' but is there a sound basis to the concept?

  i sound very right-wing in saying that, but i live opposite a boarding house that is full of people who, i guess, would be prime candidates for the cull.

  Since being poor is not yet a crime why not start with culling 20% of the prison population.

  Rant about WBT$ fulfilling scripture

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i feel the need to rant so bear with me.. i've seen posts and blogs where a scripture is used to show how wicked the wbt$ are.. well, i believe the wbt$ is a vile cult with disgusting individuals as it's leaders.. one thing i learned from the wbt$ is that a scripture can be used to prove almost anything!.

  when i read posts where a scripture is sited and directed against the wbt$ i'm not impressed.

  not because i'd ever defend the paedophile loving filth in brooklyn but because it's just words and personal interpretation from a collection of fables, myths and fairy tales.. even when i was a christian i still thought that you could make anything fit scripture......and if you have a bee in your bonnet you can use the bible in the propagandist way eg.

  When I first started my exit I still believed The Bible but started seeing scriptures that seemed to apply to the WTBT$ after I started to view them as corrupt.

  After doing this for a while I became aware that scriptures could nearly always be applied in a way that fit a predetermined view point.

  If helping some-one exit meant using the bible to identify the society as an evil master I would.
