is so they can then use it as an excuse to make the congregation work even harder.
surely if jesus had six-inch nails hammered through his hands you can do more in field service.. if jesus could die of slow asphyxiation on the torture stake you can get to the convention even if you have four kids and two jobs or are 93 and nearly blind.. you are letting jesus down and making his agony count for nothing if you don't give until it hurts.. this is why they talk about a man being tortured to death in graphic detail in front of little children as i once was at the kingdon hall.
this is why i dreaded the memorial..
The same reason The Passion of The Christ out sold every other Christ movie by like a billion to one......
It's a horror story.. he didn't just die for us .. he had to suffer too.. so it seem a bit more than a balancing of the scales.. but an instalation of fear..
If it was a life for a life , why couldn't it have been a merciful death? how does the fear and horror balance the scales "better" ..
JW's are not alone in this tale of Horror

the new wt 2013 june tells kids that they might get to study with a pirate someday!
perhaps johnny depp will be resurrected for just that purpose?.

it has been a year now since the big breakdown in which i lost my belief system and almost lost my marriage too.
i now look back and realize how close i came to completely losing my mind.
all the evidence proves to me beyond a shadow of any possible doubt that i have been raised in a cult and that every single decision or indecision has been directly influenced from this fanatical belief system.
mee too..

I wonder if all the Serial Killers will but put in their own congergation and study as a group, It makes sense they probably have the same questions since they have a lot in common .. with the serial killing and all..
What about Hitler I bet the Governing Body will want to study with him personally.. oh wait they'll be in heaven ..
Who wants to study with Hitler .. anyone .anyone
Boy these guys are a joke ..
