Only basic virtue?
What happened to morality?
do you agree with the bible's definition of wickedness?.
do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit gods kingdom?
do not be misled.

the destruction of the babylon of the future takes place in one hour and the kings of the earth wail over her demise.. .
this indicates the worlds leaders are not expecting america's judgment and destruction.
this destruction comes suddenly and without warning.. .
"Scripture also indicates America is steep in the idol worship of Baal and Marduk and becomes a land of rebellion against God (Jer. 50:2,21,24). The people are insane over their graven images such as culture, society, Hollywood, tv, radio, music, sports, art, books, magazines (Jer. 50:38)."
What about your average European nation?
remember, if you see this in the watchtower, or hear it in a talk, you heard it here first .
evidently, since we are so close to end of this system of things, god has seen it fitting to fill the final spots held open for the 144,000.. there.
simple, elegant, and doesn't require an overhaul of the 144,000 jw belief..
Saltyoldlady:
"Do you guys really believe the numbers they are reporting are "legit?" I have great trouble swallowing that one since there was almost always another anointed one in every Kingdom Hall . . ."
In my time (don't ask when) there would sometimes be one per congregation. The one in my congregation was really old.
As for believing the numbers what I find hard to believe is why they even bother recording the Memorial count and simply pull whatever figures they want out of the lower end of their intestinal tracts. At least they would have control of the numbers and make them go down. They'd have to do that slowly so they don't hit rock bottom too soon. Maybe 1/2% per year?
i get a kick listening to these silly people.. .

The Hell Law says that Hell is reserved exclusively for those who believe in it. Furthermore, the lowest Rung in Hell is reserved for those who believe in it on the supposition that they'll go there if they don't believe in it.

Keyser; you got to expand on that a little. This is hell in its entirety:

James_woods: "I don't see that what Terry wrote is anywhere near as provocative as creating a thread title that says -
"Republicans want to enslave children and encourage violence toward any that oppose them"."
A. I gave proof of Missouri State senator Cunningham who drafted a bill that would abolish age restrictions for children under 14; repeals the requirement for work certificates for 14 and 15 year olds; removes requirements for employers to keep records for those children AND THEY CANNOT EVEN BE INSPECTED BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE DIVISION OF LABOR STANDARDS!!!
Imagine a 15 year old working at a motel where prostitution is occuring, (or even if there is no prostitution-you know who visits motels) and no inspection of those grounds allowed. You cannot even assume that such a child is working there based on the below law.
As far as inciting people to violence is concerned, that was a separate issue where a politician made multiple statements about people having to exercise their second amendment rights if they don't get their way (for anything in general not specific laws that they want to pass).
Are you not capable of figuring out what such statements can lead to?!?!?! The arrogance of having my title criticized when the issue I'm revealing is so abominable that it DESERVES SUCH HARSH LANGUAGE.
Do you want to soft peddle an obscenity of this magnitude with a nice sugar coated, title?
I THINK NOT!
Furthermore, concerning the topic of this thread, there is no need whatsoever to apply civility to such a depraved issue and if someone doesn't agree, then I wonder about their moral capacity.
And please note how the conservatives on my child slavery thread went off topic to discuss general issues. There was no inclination, with an exception, to discuss the consequences of CHILD LABOR. Why is that!? Why did most conservatives on this thread dodge the issue!?
No way that I'm going to restrain my moral indignation on such an abomination AND the type of persons who support it! You might as well cry because someone is fuming about rape in the workplace and is doing so with strongly worded titles.
No way am I going to be one whit polite when staring at the face of evil! And if that offends you so be it!
SB 222 – This act modifies the child labor laws. It eliminates the prohibition on employment of children under age fourteen. Restrictions on the number of hours and restrictions on when a child may work during the day are also removed.It also repeals the requirement that a child ages fourteen or fifteen obtain a work certificate or work permit in order to be employed. Children under sixteen will also be allowed to work in any capacity in a motel, resort or hotel where sleeping accommodations are furnished . It also removes the authority of the director of the Division of Labor Standards to inspect employers who employ children and to require them to keep certain records for children they employ. It also repeals the presumption that the presence of a child in a workplace is evidence of employment. |

Terry talking to the rest of us:
So, I thought I'd give my two cents. What destroys civil discourse? How can we
moderate ourselves like adults and respect each other?
Terry in response to Sammie:
"If you understood half the time what you criticize you'd be more qualified to make an
informed contribution to the conversations you provoke."
Thank you for being an example Terry.
