  Jehovah told to Moses: "....kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man"

  in numbers 31 we read the following:.

  jehovah then told moses:2 take vengeance for the israelites on the midianites.

  afterward you will be gathered to your people.3 so moses spoke to the people, saying: equip men from among you for battle against midian and to execute jehovahs vengeance on midian.4 you should send 1,000 of each tribe of all the tribes of israel into the army............ 7 they waged war against midian, just as jehovah had commanded moses, and they killed every male.8 along with the others slain, they killed the kings of midian, namely, evi, rekem, zur, hur, and reba, the five kings of midian.

  Ferguson Shooting (Is my thinking on this all wrong.......)

  i think everyone here can agree that walking down the street, even in the middle of the street, is not cause for having a clip emptied in your ass......... i can understand how the black community would be outraged by the injustice of seeing another black man dead in the street at the hands of the police under mysterious circumstances....... i hope that i'm not succumbing to the attempts to assinate the already well impuned character of the dead man...... however.

  i can't help but think that this could all have been avoided by exercising the proper discretion with fore-knowledge of the disadvantages people of color have when they are dealing with law enforcement in the united states.

  it is not as if this disadvantage has only since recently came to light.

  I dare all those using coded language (i.e. thugs) to come from behind your sheets and use the language that you really want to use. Not (necessarily) a fair statement is it?

  No, THUG is just fine with me. I don't wish to use any other term. Seems like a fine term for someone who steals and bullies others.

  I may not have high expectations of a petty thief like Michael Brown. But, I expect a lot more from law enforcement personnel. They are entrusted with public safety and order.

  Me too. I expect public safety and order to be upheld by removing thugs and criminals off our streets, just like this cop did. It would never occur to me to fight with a cop and reach for this gun if I was approached by one. If I was stupid enough to do this, maybe i'd deserve to get shot too.

  Are police entitled to use deadly force for a "mouthing off" unarmed kid?

  I doubt you have all the facts. I know i don't, but I can tell you that I have a hard time understanding this fairytale scenario that some people have dreamt up to cause such outrage.

  So let me see if i get this right. This youngman was simply walking down the street, a cop pulls up, pulls a gun on him, the young man raises his hands and the cop just shoots him? Am i supposed to believe this? I know i don't.

  After seeing the video of the convenience store, and the way this bully pushed away a defenseless store owner and walked out with cigarettes, i'm pretty sure things went a slightly different way. I find it reasonable to believe that when the cop pulled up and tried to secure the scene, this thug (YES THUG), became combative and the cop had no choice but to get physical to arrest him. This guy seemed to be pretty big, so if there was a struggle, the cop was probably in serious trouble especially if this THUG was reaching for this gun. The cop at the point of exhaustion, likely drew his gun and took a shot most likely at the same time as this THUG realized that now he should back off.

  If this "pillar of society" had not stolen cigarettes or had been humble enough to realize he was caught when the police pulled up, instead of fighting them, he would be alive.

  I don't care if what i'm saying is not popular, i'm not racist, but I am civilized and I have little tolerance for people who refuse to abide by the rules of a civilized society. If this THUG was white, he would have been shot just the same, and my opinion would be equal.

  The little girl is unhappy because Vin Diesel is forcing her to attend a brainwashing session in the basement of some quacks house !

  lol.. awesome.!

  But in looking at the picture, it's remarkable the attention to detail. From the "doomsday preppers" style supplies which they made sure were highlighted, to the brother reading something that clearly looks like letters that the organization would send, to the racial diversity included, to the "bug-out" bag on the floor.

  redvip2000 A smaller population was not a more peaceful one. Individuals experienced perhaps more violence in the wilds of Eurasia, the Americas, the archipelogos, cannibalism, inter-tribal warfare.

  That is the point. It was not a more peaceful one, or better fed, or prosperous, or heathier, despite the smaller numbers. But NOT because they were smaller in numbers. Their lives were harsher because they didn't have the knowledge and way of life we have today.

  My point is that now that we have improved our lives through research, knowledge and technology, we should find a way to keep population at a level where most can have decent standards of living.

  We are living in the most peaceful, least violent, most equitable, tolerant and prosperous time in all of human history.

  I've made this point countless times, even to JWs when they try to start the "World is bad" argument. There simply has never been a better time to be alive. Almost everything is better, from healthcare to transportation; from communcations to technology; from nutrition to

  availability of food. This is paradise (or at least as close as it can get), and in 100 years it will likely be even better.

  There is one thing that we have going against us - the amount of people on the planet. Almost everybody negative has to do with overpopulation one way or another. Social inequality/exclusion and crime, poverty, hunger, polution, stress.

  I hope that somehow we can solve the problem of population levels, because it's the one thing IMO that threatens mankind today. Prosperity can be a two-edge sword, and some of the miserable living conditions that afflicted early man, also contributed to keep population levels under control.

  God is love, but if you dont love him back he will slaughter you!

  by BU2B in

  this was one of the things that first got me thinking.

  i noticed how in books like "draw close to jehovah" they paint god as a loving, warm, just god who does not desire any to die.

  i could not love him at all, let alone with my whole heart.

  But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

  Loving indeed. Perhaps if that hadn't worked, Jehoober would have removed one hand from each human. That would have really slowed them down.

  And why is it ok for humans to build tall buildinsg now? Shouldn't fire be raining down on these buildings as punishment?

  The Circuit Overseer Visit

  last week, the circuit overseer came to visit my wifes congregation and as usual their patterns change somewhat during this week.

  from my perspective, the meetings are held on tuesday and thursday instead of the normal wednesday night during this week and they are more eager to go out in field service.

  sunday came and my wife wanted us to attend the meeting.

  "Oh, but they stopped when they realized it was wrong, just like they stopped celebrating christmas."

  It's a little different. They actually applied for association with the UN; it's not like one day they found out they were members. Wouldn't they realize it was wrong as they are applying and seeking association?

  More JW bragging about the Landover, MD. convention. Please have barf bag at the ready before reading

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  the following e-mail is circulating among jws about the international convention at fedex stadium in landover, md.

  note the all-too-familiar jw claims: everything they do (including the simple act of parking cars) is proof of jehovah'stm blessing, and everything wt did at the convention was the fastest, greatest, best ever.

  oh, and the never-fails-to-get-mentioned alleged 'persecution'/resistance from some unnamed authority who tried to get in watchtower's way and hamper the effort...but jws prevailed anyway (as always):.

  182 buses. Let's say each bus carries 70 people. That's over 12000 people on buses.

  If the total audience was the mid 50's, minus the folks on the buses, that's around 45 K that actually drove to the stadium.

  If they really parked 22000 cars, that 2 people per car. Considering that entire families travel together, and some others car pool to the convention, something doesn't add up.

  Why didn't Jehoober simply fly all the cars to the stadium, like he flew all the animals to the middle east so they could get on ark during the flood? Would have been much better.
