Killing Ananias and Sapphira
by irondork in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i happened to be reading this part of acts yesterday, ananias and sappira getting zapped for lying about keeping a portion of their profits.

it occurred to me, that is, like, oh my gawd, soooo old testament!

is there any other place in the new testament where a person was immediately executed by god for their error?

Cats and Dogs should not be spayed or neutered!
by IMHO in
1. jw
2. friends
a controversial subject that hasn't been talked about here for 10 years (or so it seems on my quick search).. .

i think it's wrong to spay or neuter.

i bet most of you will disagree.. my vet just called me an irresponsible owner for refusing to have my cat spayed..

2. friends
i took a walk down to the corner store to find something to help out my slight hangover from watching the cowboys and my poker night.

i made it half way down the block and there they were!

two older couples out door-to-door.. they seemed to be having a pow-wow in front of a block of apartments.

Will Hitler be forgiven just because he died????????
by The Searcher in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i cannot fathom how the vast majority of my 7.5 million brothers and sisters, (especially all who are members of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovahs witnesses) can believe for one second, the "given" explanation of romans 6:7. this is what taught; .

insight book - 2p.138judgmentday - "those resurrected will not be judged on the basis of the works done in their former life, because the rule at romans 6:7 says: he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.".

therefore, the following 6 scriptures can be ripped out of our bibles, because jesus does not have the god-given right to judge any dead people - because our own death has washed our sins away!!!
