Q.: "would you drink a glass of water if it had just a tiny bit of poison in it?"
A.: If you believed in homeopathy you would.
Homeopathy is junk science that the WTB&TS has never criticized.
no doubt we have all heard that well used "illustration" in public talks etc over the years:.
"if you were handed a glass of water that looked pure, but were told it has just a tiny drop of poison in it, would you drink it?".
the society has used that illustration at length to say we should avoid all influences of every part of the world.. but, as we know, the society has had a track record of errors, false ideas and doctrines.

i was thinking today about the descriptions of the future "paradise" presented by the watchtower, and i was struck by something about it.
most of us are aware that the watchtower promotes an interpretation of the apocalypse that would result in the immediate execution of 99.9% of the population with no hope for resurrection.
additionally, we have been told about the large group of people that are supposed to side with satan at the end of the thousand year reign of christ.
OneViejoDosPatata said, "Hey! If you know you can't die - or if you do you will be restored automatically - why wouldn't you do those things. Remember "no pain or tears"?
I was told that people should respect the Creator's gift of life, and such actions would demonstrate disrespect and an attitude of "challenging" Yah-wad.
when i was a jw, i was taught that i can never succeed in life if i leave the sect.
now that i am no longer a member of the fold, how can i succeed in this only life i have and achieve my dreams?.
I dunno. I do know that if you become a JW again, it is unlikely you will be a success. Better to make a 'to do" list for after you are resurrected.
Hi,
I'm a Prince of the Polaski tribe here in America and you have just won a lottery grand prize, which is the Israelite Ark of the Covenant!
Please send me $5,000.00 (US) to cover the postage so we can mail your prize to you. For security reasons we cannot allow you to come here to pick up your authentic Israelite Ark of the Covenant.
went back to get info from driver who tapped our car in line of cars exiting the area.
after getting her info, she waited till i walked back to our car and punched the gas, hitting me.
then drove off.
Wasa, how are you doing? Beyond the matter of your run-in with the POS Meth Queen, what was the Oroville evacuation experience like, and do you now feel the situation is under contrl and you are safe?
By the way, I'm a fan of Wasabrot. I thought you'd want to know.
May you continue to heal from your injuries and may you recover your financial loss due to the POSMQ's actions.
May she and her tweaker boyfriend set themselves on fire.

was there anything positive about your jehovah's witness experience?.
In the Paradise book there is a special page over-printed with invisible ink that, if rubbed with crushed sumac berries, teaches the method of jelqing Adam used.
If I recall correctly.
Or maybe I just wanted to make a post with the word jelqing in it.
Don't judge me, bro.
has this question ever been answered by wt or biblical apologetic?.
if near the beginning of her creation, would she not have had the effective development of a a toddler or even a baby?.
if so, would you sentence a toddler or a baby to death for grabbing an appealing candy from a bowl?.
BERRYGERRY said, "Not physically. But with what measure of mental development, including reasoning ability, was Eve created? If God did create her with mental development, then to what degree is God responsible for Eve's decision making? If God did create her without mental development, then how could it be fair to sentence such a child-like person to death for believing a lie told by an intelligent scheming person (Satan)?"
OK, I'm glad you didn't mean physically, though if you did, you might have a doctrine shared by no one else in the world. Think of all the pedophiles who would flock to your church! Then you could nail the doors shut and set the church on fire!
As for "God" holding us responsible for decisions made with incomplete information, that's one reason it is not a good idea to believe in "God."
i was showing a friend of mine what kind of books my parents allowed me to read when i was very young.
no children books that was age related but the so called orange paradise book was my only children book i had.
she was taken back on how violent it was and showing little kids being killed by god was just unspeakable.

Y'know, I'm our here in Seattle -- land of earthquakes -- and looking at that drawing from the Paradise book I thought "that's not how earthquakes are, usually. You know where you see earthquakes like that? On Saturday-afternoon "Dinosaur Island" movies on TV!
...and what sins did that dog commit?
Did he lick his ass too often?
Did he chase a Mailman who was one of Jehovah's Witnesses?
Did he deny Balto's sacrifice on behalf of all canines?
"Yeah, I'm a seeker of wisdom, wanna make somethin' of it?" -- one of my specially-designed slogans. Collect 'em all!

STADD said, in part, "...On page 192 paragraph 33 " less than 20,000 of the last ones of God's spiritual nation are now left on earth."
Wow! THAT is a friggin' GREAT find!
I "studied" the Paradise book cover-to-cover at least once with a friendly (I'm not being sarcastic, he was a good guy) Bethelite assigned to the Sunnyside NY congregation back in the early 1960s, and of course that sentence did not have the significance it has now, when everyone and his uncle is part of the "new, improved remnant."
I think your find will get LOTS of play on Aposta-media. GOOD WORK!
