  Data-Dog,

  "What a dick! How about explaining to God the reasons for covering up child molestation or not obeying the Superior Authorities?? What a joke! I may go to a gay bar for fun and model my new, tight fitting Calvin Klein suit. - DD"

  haha.... So accurately true and clear common sense!

  Did Christ Put an End to Organised Religion

  by seekchristonly in

  yes, he was that radical.

  im suggesting he put an end to organised religion with the prophesied destruction of jerusalem , the jewsish system, the old covenant and the temple in the 1st century..

  Well put. Honestly, if I were to simplify my very researched beliefs, I think, truly, that is exactly what he did.

  I also believe that that was what attracted so many people to Russell, that he preached against organized religion. It had a ring of Christian "truth" to so many.

  Regardless, we know what happened eventually! After Jesus' death historically the centuries since, and after Russell's demise - with regard to Jehovah's Witnesses.

  It was good to re-watch that. And hear Jaracz simply resolve the matter by saying that the previous answer "should be to your satisfaction."

  As a journalist that response is dumbfounding, as a person of faith, I am distraught that a "pastor" could be so callous about the care and protection of the little ones of the flock.

  That's what happens when you try to rush a Bible out in time for the pomp and circumstance ceremony.

  I was.

  An announcement was made during the noon meal, before the family was dismissed.

  Gerrit Lösch read the announcement from Bethel Office informing the family that such a concert would be heald near, or in between, the buildings of the Brooklyn Bethel Complex and that all in the family should be aware of the nature of the complex. In the announcement, or in an off the cuff addendum Lösch mentioned that K.I.S.S. stood for Knights In Satan's Service. I am not sure, don't really remember, if more was explained, or if the announcement explicity said that no member of the family should be caught attending.

  An explicit cautionary announcement "discouraging" the family from attending an event was, however, made in regards to a Woodstock anniversary concert close to Wallkill.

  Verbal Lycanthropy

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  although the society disavowed puritans for their doctrines, sometimes i felt i read in the articles an undercurrent of admiration toward them.

  in many ways, the wts strove in the same way toward a religion they felt as 'pure' as possible, and in doing so, stripped away all that was human and heartfelt.

  but as puritanical as the concept was, there were always those in the various congregations that went the extra mile, either in word or deed.. .

  The Sandusky Scandal's Possible Impact on the WTS

  by Quendi in

  2. scandals

  i hope the powers-that-be in brooklyn are paying close attention to what is happening in state college, pennsylvania with respect to the hideous pedophile scandal at penn state university because it speaks directly to their own handling of pedophilia.

  here is a news release about the matter:.

  state college, pa. (ap) -- penn state's investigation into the jerry sandusky scandal concludes that the administrators who fielded a 2001 complaint about him created a dangerous situation for future victims by not reporting the matter.. the freeh group's report issued thursday said that in order to avoid bad publicity, president graham spanier, football coach joe paterno, athletic director tim curley and vice president gary schultz ''repeatedly concealed critical facts.''.

  Interesting that the Sandusky case is in Pennsylvania.

  The catholic priest convicted and jailed for a pedophile cover-up (first ever clergy conviction for a cover-up and not an actual first-hand molestation) that was passed down just instants away, as the Conti news was breaking and days within the Sandusky news, also in Pennsylvania.

  Easily and quickly creating precedence in that state's courts.

  All the while...

  The founding and primary legal entity of Jehovah's Witnesses, The Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of PENNSYLVANIA, incorporated in PA in 1884, is the corporation that holds most of the hard assets.

  While not a necessity for litigation, it's easily a convenient coincidence.
