  WTS Leaders - Mass Killers

  the great and widely unrecognized killer of jehovah's witnesses is without.

  question the watchtower society's irrational policy on the use of blood.. there are enough studies and information available for us to conservatively.

  estimate 900 deaths among the jw population each year - the actual.

  Your 'statement' is meaningless. Put some definition to it.

  Once again you try to use rhetoric to obscure the fact that you can't produce real numbers. I get real bored with assertions.

  I'd just like to see some hard numbers. As far as I know they haven't been produced yet.

  What "studies and information" are you referring to? I'm always intrigued by these pronouncements.

  Reasons why its so hard to break from the WTS

  i'm still sitting on the fence trying to figure out which direction to go in.

  i think one of the reasons i have'nt left yet is because of the fact that i'm not entirely sure that the wts is really not god's organization.. some of the reasons why i feel that way is because of their insight on the scripture.

  i've never heard of any other religion attempt to decipher the prophecies in the book of daniel and revelations.

  There are even popular books on Revelation. Those guys that write the "left Behind" series have a book out on Revelation that pretty interesting reading. You can probably get a copy at WalMart.

  Oh man I can't let that go Abaddon. Check the gun related deaths in Switzerland. A country much more heavily armed than the U.S., real assault rifles in lots of homes. There are other similar countries with high levels of firearms ownership as well. Equating firearms with crime related deaths is nonsense, it's a cultural issue. Take out ghetto, drug related number and US statistics are very similar to the UKs.

  Radar you should be able to get a shotgun license, at least it's a place to start. Just tell them you want to shoot clays and maybe a little rough shooting, pigeons and rabbits after you develop your skills. The police usually go for that. Once you've had the shotgun license for a while it's easier to get a firearms license.

  There's no control on silencers in the UK, go figure.

  Most of that dewatted stuff in the UK is not recoverable. I suspect it's just scrap iron.

  Not all states permit "class 3" weapons but most of them do. The total number of "class 3 permits" (you have to have one for each weapon)has been frozen, I think at something like 52,000 total. So the supply is not unlimited, and the price has gone up considerably since the limit was imposed. Expensive little devils to shoot, who can afford it? There's also a restriction on size, 55 caliber is as large as a civilian can own. There are a few old semi-auto anti-tank rifles around in that caliber but they are hellishly expensive to operate. Civilians cannot legally own "destructive devices" like mortars, rocket launchers, or breech loaded artillery. You can however buy muzzle loading artilllery, original or replicas, because they fall into the 'antique' category. For about $25,000 you can buy yourself a twelve pound Parrot rifle that will make some serious noise and hit something the size of a car a couple of miles away.

  In my state there is no waiting period on rifles and shotguns. Only certain benighted Communist States like California and New Jersey differentiate semi-automatic rifles as far as purchase or possession. Hey I've got an SKS as well, ugly critter but it's reliable. I've got one of the Mini-14s, it looks a little like the M-14 from the outside but it shore isn't.

  Tina I suggest you actually read my post. I'm very familiar with the Law. My question was how many actual stonings does be Bible recount. That's an entirely different question. It's like how many Sabbath years were actually observed, how many Jubilee's? Do you get the picture or is it beyond your feeble comprehension?
