  Russian Sincerity On Extremism

  the above is an article against violence in islam.

  however, it asserts that russia may have banned some extremist works connected with islam.. thus, i would conclude that banning jw extremist literature may be sincere, to a degree, as a official policy against religious extremism.. .

  the watchtower used to love quoting all sorts of negative statistics in years past.

  about mormons mostly.

  the problem with witlesses is their eager ignorance and avoidance of critical thinking.. this is one big advantage over other religions.

  We Now See Hard Proof That God Does Not Guide This Religion

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  once upon a time, there was a small, controversial religion that got into trouble because of child sexual abuse.

  there were lawsuits and nasty headlines and bad press and concerns about what other sort of sexual misdeeds might be covered up.. then, in a breathtaking moment of hubris, the apparent 'boss' of this religion gave a widely reported speech in which he revealed his obsession with homosexuals and young men wearing tight pants..

  this is not "meat in due season".

  putin is smirking as if to say, "you're just not in on the joke".

  take note of the other facial expressions as well.. i can can speculate at length but i see a man who 'plays checkers' surrounded by chess masters.

  Is The Bible Now Obsolete - On Moral Standards?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometimes, i feel like my life has been summed up by a grateful dead quote: "what a long strange trip it's been".. .

  after many years as a witness, i discovered that i worked with gay people - and that they struggled to pay a mortgage and had pretty much the same problems as everyone else.

  what was i concerned about?
