  apparently the process of degaying pastor ted haggard will be a long one.. takes up to 5 years according to the ungaying pro.. http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/23/dobson-haggard-cure-gay/.

  poor haggard, wonder what he will do about his sexuality during those 5 years?.

  What ignorance

  by Norm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  look at this quote from the watchtower society website:.

  does any religion meet these standards?

  the book holocaust politics, published in 2001, says: if more people practiced versions of what the jehovahs witnesses preach and practice, the holocaust could have been prevented and genocide would scourge the world no more.. wow!

  Christianity - a thoroughly ”pagan” religion

  by Norm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is quite amusing to read watchtower publications where they with badly hidden scorn criticizes the catholics for willfully adopting pagan holidays and customs into christianity.. pagan beliefs christianized.

  *** w84 4/1 p. 9 insight on the news *** in a.d. 601, pope gregory the first, known as gregory the great, issued an edict to his missionaries concerning the native beliefs and customs of the peoples he hoped to convert, states a recent issue of natural history magazine.

  instead of trying to obliterate peoples customs and beliefs, the popes instructions were, use them.

  Jehovah Reveals

  by Norm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower society has a long history of failed predictions and flip/flop teachings.. this is rather strange considering their bold claims of having this unique direct line to the almighty.

  there seem to be no end to what jehovah reveals to the guys in brooklyn.

  the watchtower magazine never tires of reminding its readers of this remarkable connection.. in the beginning russell had adopted a chronology involving dates like 1799, the beginning of the end, 1874, jesus parousia or invisible return, 1914, the end of this system.

  Tragedy

  by Norm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watching the ted haggard story unfold has been a trip into the bizarre world of conservative christianity.

  in a letter read to his congregation mr. haggard let us get a glimpse of a person whose troubles hasnt even begun.

  it is a man still in deep denial about who he is.

  Misery and death

  by Norm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hardly anything seem to fill the writing staff in brooklyn with such joy and gleeful anticipation as the potential for a good old disaster, something that may kill untold billions of people in a very short time and cause a fertile ground for more superstition and mumbo jumbo.. the december 22, 2005 issue of awake!

  magazine is an excellent example of this when it asks the question: can it happen again?

  i found this in the norwegian edition.forever on the lookout for doom and gloom and signs of the end brooklyn ever roaming eye is attracted to everything that has the potential to spell death and destruction to mankind, the worse it is the better it is to brooklyn.. this time (as so many times before), it is the possible emergence of a superflu like the influenza pandemic that swept the world in 1918, which these morons with their far fetched insane ideas think was foretold in the bible.
