  I can see the WT cherry picking from this article in the near future. For instance although the articles states the following,

  Boston, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Investor Peter Thiel has generated attention by making some provocative claims about America's colleges and universities. Thiel has labeled U.S. higher education "a bubble in the classic sense," and believes that college degrees are "overvalued."

  The article also closes on this note,

  American higher education is facing some complex issues. But a college education is still the most reliable ticket our citizens have to a lifetime of prosperity and advancement. By working together to resolve these challenges, we can ensure that college remains as secure an investment as ever.

  The WT will selectively use the first paragraph along the lines of this, "Is there security after someone completes their higher education? One article quoted an expert as saying "college degrees are overvalued." This harmonizes with God's counsel at Psalms 146:3." They'll completely omit and ignore the rest of the article as it doesn't fit with their agenda.

  Can the Bible be proved wrong?

  1 Corithians 7, the entire chapter, but in particular verse 12 stands out to me. Paul explicitly stated that he was speaking of his own volition, from his own cognizance, rather than that of the Lord.

  Something else I noticed last night while doing my nightly Bible reading, was the story on Ananias and Sapphira. They weren't completely honest about what they donated to support those in need. As a result they were struck dead. What I find curious about this is how their sin was considered so heinous that it warrented death, yet the Old Testament is full of bloodthirsty, violent, dangerous, and womanizing men who just happened to believe and have faith in YHVH/JHVH. David was one of the worst vatos I've ever read about, and me personally I'd want nothing to do with him. He was a scumbag through and through. His son was a womanizer to the point of making Hugh Hefner look like a nun in comparison. Yet they were considered faithful men? Ananias and Sapphira weren't forthcoming about their financial situation and they had to die? Not to mention the fact that Peter was the one who through the spirit struck them dead which I find ironic as he was the same one who denied Jesus three times. So much for forgiveness and understanding of imperfection.

  There's a ton of other contradictory aspects in the Bible, and it makes it difficult if not impossible to believe that its the "Word of God." Epic fail in my opinion.

  Another thing I want to mention is if the Bible is the word of God, then why is He so darn ambiguous throughout it to the point that it allows clowns like those few of many shown below to use it and take advantage of people? God is love, but He doesn't seem to have much of a problem letting people get dooped and okey-doked on His behalf.

  I still want to believe in God, and I believe you can find God's principles within the Bible, but to say that the book itself is the inspired word of God is disrespectful to Him. It's like putting a crime upon God, the same way the WT states that Jesus selected them as His chosen organization. God didn't say the Bible as we have it now is His word, and Jesus didn't say the WT was his chozen organization.

  Concerning your behaviour towards others

  by ixthis in

  wikipedia has an article on rudeness.. rudeness (also called impudence or effrontery) is a display of disrespectfulness by not complying with the social "laws" or etiquette of a group or culture.

  these laws have been established as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behavior.

  i have noticed a high level of rudeness in this forum ... i was wondering the why.. what do others consider "rude" behaviour wrt this forum?do others have any thoughts about the obvious rude behaviour?do others have any thoughts if the aggressively rude posters have this personality as a by-product of watchtower indoctrination?if no, what could be causing this aggresion?

  I've been meaning to get at you IxThis, but as my life is pretty crazy at this moment it slipped by me. I want to say thank you for reaching out to me not to long ago. I mean that sincerely, thank you. I know I can be rude and aggresive, and I even recall a girl I grew up with telling me that someday somebody was gonna kick my a$$. I replied that it wouldn't be her or anybody in her family. That was before I even went to Middle School. You seen through the charade though, and I just want to say thank you for reaching out to me. I appreciated that. G'night IxThis.

  So you obsess over me like some sort of sociopathic stalker? If you're sick in the head sobeit. There are obsessive people like that in society. Since you've represented yourself as one; what do you need?

  I need your love and intimacy. Is that too much to ask for?
