in 1992 a peaceful meditation exercise called falun gong also known as falun dafa was introduced to the public in china by master li hongzhi.
it has grown to become the most popular form of qigong.
This is utterly appalling!! How can the Olympic Committee be comfortable allowing a country which sqelches individualism with such horror to host??? The Olympics celebrate diversity, peace and unity like no other global event. IMO any country deemed appropiate for the privelege of hosting should do the same. I personally will NOT watch the opening or closing ceremonies in protest!

Our circuit overseer back in 1989 made a statement to us in our "pioneer meeting" that if you took 10 children in the congregation and put them on the stage, 8 would leave the "truth" by the time they reached adulthood. Evidently this 80% figure has been around for almost 20 years!
Q
cults come and go so do you think the wtbts will eventually come to an end?
i think about this sometimes and i wonder if i will live to see it.
the reason why i want it to end is because i don't like the administration.
I believe what would be a real eye opener for many would be greater media attention to molestation cases going to court. How the WTS has gloated over the past decades with all the scandals exposed with the Catholics and Evangelicals, taking the arrogant stance that this sort of thing does not happen amongst "God's people"! More NATIONAL media attention would certainly force many to think, are we really that much better than the rest?? IMO-

page 28, paragraph 11 says in part:.
"it seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.
" (the 24 elders = "anointed christians in their heavenly positions".).
Excellen point Willy! I really wonder sometimes if the guys in "writing" are boozed up when they write.

thats how i feel,..... no disrespect for those who find another way or place to worship.
i for one cannot stand any religion on any level.
how do you feel?.
I am through with organized religion on any level. What works for me is the Sermon on the Mount. As far as I am concerned the guidelines for living that Jesus taught in the three chapters, Matthew 5-7 are all one needs. The Beautitudes give us the secret to happiness and the Golden Rule tells us how to be constructive members of society. It's just that simple, who needs all the complicated man made rules and regulations which make up religion? Not me!!
Q
yes, no or maybe....and why?
