If only............
by tresdecu in....charles taze russell's mom and dad didn't have sex back on that night in june of 1851.... weird that a married couple getting horny could affect so many lives 164 years later.. just a random friday thought.

When you read this Richard Glossip will probably be dead.
by The Rebel inhow do i feel about this?.
too much doubt.. shame on you people who are responsible for putting richard to death.. richard is scheduled to be put to death in oklahoma at 3pm on september 16th by lethal injection.
i have followed this case and feel like so many people very bad about this.

II am not being sentimental nor idealist, particularly as I have now read scripts of the police interviews from both Richard and a co-worker.
Anyway having since started this thread, Richard escaped the lethal injection with hours to spare. But it was only rescheduled and in two weeks time I believe he will be put to death.
Which made me think if had an imaginary past, with different circumstances, my life would be different. I get where politics come in. I also get how 16 years in to the future a person can be a different person. This is why In one life time i believe every person must be able to live two life's.
However as I also said in two weeks I believe Richard will be put to death. Do I believe that is correct?
No.
Why?
Because 12 innocent people have been freed from death role in Texas since 1977 ( Statistics state by state database)
I believe no man should be put to death based on hear say and without physical evidence.
Why?
Because it's convicting the poor who who can't afford a decent laywer. Even the poor innocent individual deserve good representation against an experienced prosecution team and a jury of 12 well meaning but sincere people.
My point is if Richard had money for a good defence in this case, he would be a free man today. I am not saying that makes it right. What I am saying is guilty or not, what this man has gone through with twise being spared execution at the final hour only to go through the fatal inevitable execution in two weeks time is abhorrent.
Why does Oaklahoma give the death sentence when there is no physical evidence and a " conviction" based on hear say?
If the state want to execute people why not execute those, where there is absolutely no doubt, the accused is guilty beyond doubt? If so executions would be carried out with less public drama.

The False Hope of the Watchtower
by Perry inthe watchtower has long denied the substitutionary sacrifice of jesus.. ot picture of nt salvation:.
on the night of deliverance from pharaoh, the sons of abraham were to slaughter a spotless lamb, eat its flesh and smear some of the blood over the doorway and on the door-posts of their home.
because they were under this blood arrangement and had the lamb inside of themselves after they ate the passover supper, the angel passed over that house as he delivered gods execution judgment.

Vinman, you make a very good point, and whilst I also do not agree with all that Perry writes, when a reasoned and balanced view point is made, it should be respected.
I apologise to Perry for my childish comment and appreciate your observation.

I'm not so sure a bigger awakening is going to happen anymore
by bradford inwhen i left in march officially i started reading the forums here.
i had this excitement that more people would be leaving soon because of the crazy broadcasts, the crazy "new light" that the gb was dishing out, and more recently the australian royal commission lighting up geoffrey.
this past saturday i had an elder stop by to chat for the first time since i left.

Bradford: (Q) "I am not so sure a bigger awakening is going to happen anymore?"
The Rebel. (A) Each individual awakened person, is one more nail in the Watchtower coffin, so do not underestimate the POWER of our individual awakening.
My guess " Bradford" is that your post has been read by many on this " World Wide Web". My guess is " YOUR" post has been read by many witnesses around the world.
Don't underestimate the power your individual post has had on the witness community.

Do you feel embarrsed?
by The Rebel inwhen you look through a keyhole, and see the person you once were?.
as for myself, i am just pleased i have mended my ways.
i realise ( now) my time as a witness was a keyhole that looked in to the ground, and licked the elders arse.

As for myself, I am just pleased I have mended my ways. I realise ( NOW) my time as a witness was a keyhole that looked in to the ground, and licked the elders arse. So now the keyhole I am looking through is sky bound and I no longer need lick any bodies arse.
But if I am honest, I do feel a little shame and embarrassment that I spent so much time in that cheap motel, where the cost of accommodation was bombed-out natural affection,and association with a pack of wolves, and stray dogs who lived on a patch of grass in a mental religiouse asylum. Particularly when the walls of freedom were always on the edge of town....

What I learnt from my witness friends was that as a questioning "brother " i was a pest. If I asked to many questions, my "brothers" got rid of the friendship. I also learnt one good turn deserves another, so I got rid of my " brothers" as friends.

Punk, not quite the answer I was expecting. But it gives me a great money making scheme.
hurry! hurry! No time to loose, buy your lottery ticket and you may be the lucky winner, to throw the switch on the G.B. All you need to do is send your enclosed lucky number and either in not more than 10,000 words, or not less than 100 reasons explain why you should be the deserving winner.
