Do Animals Have Souls?
by Cold Steel ini know most jehovah's witnesses believe in the soul sleeping doctrine.
by this, given that neither man nor beast has a spirit, but that they do possess souls (or "intelligences" unique to themselves).
where this intelligence resides between death and resurrection is more than a passing interest, but again, assuming that yehweh can recreate one's distict soul, does the society believe that animals have souls?

Who on earth can prove if an animal has a soul or not? Honestly. Who is the expert on this topic of souls that they can state for certain they have a soul?
But there is proof that animals show empathy, and co operation. And understand fairness. And even cheat LOL
It is only human arrogance that allows us to entertain the belief that we are superior to animals. And bible belief that leads us to think that we are here to subdue the earth and that the earth is ours to do with as we wish. Although...some scientists seem to think this way too.
This video is awesome...and funny If you have 16 mins to spare, I highly recommend.

Interesting Quote from Adolph Hitler in MEIN kAMPF
by Band on the Run in"the aim of propaganda is not to try to pass judgment on conflicting rights, giving each its due, but exclusively to empahsixe the right which we are asserting.
propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favorable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side...... the broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form a reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly waveering between one idea and another....the masses are not in a position to discern where the enemy's fault ends and where our own begins..... the great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning.
this sentiment, however, is not complex,but simple and consistent.

What is your opinion?
by Terry inmatthew 6:14-15new revised standard version (nrsv).
14 for if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you; 15 but if you do not forgive others, neither will your father forgive your trespasses.. .
at least on a superficial interpersonal level the above scripture requires the victim to forgive the offender in order to be forgiven in turn.

WTS is ADVERTISING in local newspapers
by still thinking ini just opened our local paper to discover a half page add on the front page for jehovahs witnesses... more to be read on page 4 and 5 where there are two half page articles.
that must have cost them.. they are obviously trying to soothe the public into thinking that jws are harmless...let them into your homes.
front page says:.

LOL...that is true. Just as well not many people actually read the western leader any more isn't it. It has shrunk so much over the last couple of years it pretty much just consists of advertising. And that issue only has 12 pages.
