  An eye for an eye?

  by expatbrit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading about how an internet company wants to transmit timothy mcveigh's execution over the internet on a pay-per-view basis.. it disturbed me that society appears to be drifting backwards in this regard, that not only are there people who want to make money from this situation, there are also many people apparently willing to view it for entertainment purposes.. of course, nothing would pack in the historical crowds like a public execution.

  but the gradual enlightenment of society made public executions a footnote of history, and the death penalty appeared to be following.. and that made me consider what my attitude is to the death penalty itself.. in wt land the death penalty is considered to be "divine justice".

  the bible brims to the covers with accounts of executions using the most excrutiating methods, such as stoning.

  The eventuality of man is the same as animals

  was it ezicle who said the eventuality of man is the same as for the animal, as one dies so does the other.

  or something like that.. man has to die because he sinned, that's the price one has to pay.

  what sins have animals committed?

  hey all,.

  i just got home from the very first minnesota evil apostates night (mean).

  we wonder if similar apostate nights out have been held elsewhere.. we daringly held this mini-convention (8 in attendance) at a smoky bar somewhere in minneapolis.

  to all loyal jehovah's witnesses:.

  the bible says that at the mouth of three witnesses let every matter be firmly established.

  so i'm curious... if you had to choose only three, what three things about the watchtower society and/or it's teachings convinces you beyond any doubt that jehovah's witnesses has the truth about the bible and is the sole representative of jehovah on earth today?.
