  i've just uploaded the third article in my four-part "under the microscope" series - looking at the society's claims to be god's sole channel with mankind.

  a link is below:.

  I've always thought about the natives in, say, the Amazon. The ones that don't want any outside contact for fear of disease. I wonder what Jehovah plans to do with those heathens?

  Not necessarily. If prophecy were not vague, and absolutely came true, that would certainly be a sign.

  Moshe, your white kin commited attrocities as well. Why not blanket all the races then? Please, do go on with your list, and don't just stereotype the hispanics. By all means, go ahead. I'd like to hear your "intellectually stimulating" comments.

  FHN, I agree in that priests can be trained psychologically as well to deal with traumas and abuse, but unfortunately, aren't they also a big portion of perpetrators of such abuses?

  Elders are limited in any "help" they can provide. Anything deserving a JC can't be let slide.

  Moshe, I don't know of why the discrepancy, but I can assure you, morality or moral concepts of right and wrong, good and evil, exist in the Spanish language! To affirm the contrary is absurd and is a slap in the face for all Spanish-speaking people!

  The true, unsung hero of the Bible....

  by Unlearn in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my undisputed hero of the bible is known by several names, depending on who you talk to...devil, satan, lucifer, etc.. read it, and you'll find that he was the only one who really stood up for you.. he asserted that you could make decisions for yourself...and told you the very real truth that, just because the piece of meat in your chest stops thumping, you positively do not 'die'.. he was your hero.

  he stood up to a daddy-maniac and said, 'just because you made us doesnt mean you have the right to tell us what to do.

  i thought we were free?'.

  It's funny, because Satan doesn't even say much in the Bible. He is quite silent, and yet all sorts of impieties are attributed to him.

  Satan is just a scapegoat used to blame all bad and wrongdoing upon him. Your fornication, adultery, thievery, etc., have nothing to do with him and everything to do with you.

  I think a stupid passage is the one in which Satan attempts to tempt Jesus. Jesus is practically God, and he is supposed to fall for giving an act of worship to Satan? Don't be ridiculous.

  Elders get confessed to, priests get confessed to.

  Elders enjoy privileged information, priests enjoy privileged information.

  Elders get orders from Bethel, priests get orders from Vatican.

  Just what exactly am I missing here?
