.

it never ceases to amaze me the propensity that the wbts has of seeing the straw in someone else's eye but not the rafter in their own.

this little gem is from the latest july 15th watchtower, page 22. .

I think this is rather good for reasoning with dubs....rather good...

Thanks for posting dmouse!

A prophet...voice of Godor ??

by MacHislopp in

to begin let's start with some ... reminders: .

the truth will not allow for all the different kinds of religious doctrine in the worldthere can not be two sets of truth when one does not agree with the other.

one or the other is true, but not both.

Thanks Mac for posting yet more excellent references. I intend to use this to info wisely....

This is the kind of stuff which can help dubs see the truth....great!

Scientology Similar to the JWs.....?

SCIENTOLOGY seems quite similar to the JW’s.

http://www.xenu.net/

A few snippets from the site….

The "Church" of Scientology is famous for harassing their critics and defectors, and even their families and friends (indirect pressure). Many ex-Scientologists have stories about abuse and how the group pressure and fright of personal information being released, prevented them from blowing or going public with their inside information. Many also feel embarrassed when they learn the truth about the organization they donated money and a lot of their life to. For some fighting back is part of the "therapy" to recover and get back to a normal life in society, while others just want to put their time in CoS behind them and start fresh. Both could need someone to talk to, someone with similar experiences. For their own recovery and to warn others who might repeat their errors if not warned in time.

We are therefore faced with the challenge of providing channels for these people to get in communications with others out there that are able and willing to help. This is a difficult task since history shows us that CoS will do anything to sabotage this. There is reason to look specially out for those OSA-agents who are very often ´fishing´ for names of leaving people.

People should be free to believe whatever they want, including Scientology. What I have against CoS is its deceitfulness, its lack of compassion for its members (especially the hard-working staff), its aggressive hard sell, its arrogance, its attack on free speech, its litigiousness, its harassment of its critics, its lack of concern for families, its gross neglect and abuse of children, etc.

If only we could pool resources!

I am still looking through this site…..interesting….

Jesus was gay - says academic

by ISP in

jesus was gay - says academic

jesus was gay and so were at least three of his 12 disciples, according to an australian academic.. .

dr rollan mccleary said jesus's astrological chart, clues in the scriptures and biblical translations, all played a part in his conclusions.. in a forthcoming book, he attempts to present st john's gospel in a new light to back up his claims, reports the herald sun.. dr rollan mccleary, a university of queensland phd graduate who now lives in melbourne, has just been awarded his doctorate for a thesis on gay spirituality.. an anglican and a qualified reader of astrological charts, dr mccleary said the planet uranus figured prominently in jesus's astrological chart, as it did with many gays..

maybe i'm in need of some enlightenment here.

through the means of educational tv (such as the simpsons), i have always thought that a sufferer from tourettes syndrome cussed and swore for most of his waking life.. however, just a few moments ago, i encountered this in thursdays the times:.

manchester united expect to complete the acquisition of tim howard, the american goalkeeper who suffers from tourettes syndrome, within a fortnight.
