  You better watch out. As everyone knows, hypnosis is synonymous with demon posetion. They must be flying all over your place, looking for an open mouth to fly into.

  with all the escalating violence in the world today and senseless barbarism, how many people on this site are still living in any sense of security.do any of you have a bright outlook for the future of the world we now live in ?is the un the answer to world peace ?personally my out look is dim .i have seen plenty of posts about the god that will annihilate the earth by killing 99% of all people that do not follow his instructions but the way i see it is that mankind has spent the past 100 years trying to find more powerful means to destroy the population and the planet due to paranoia .can such an untrusting and suspicious species exist with such deadly arsenals at their disposal?

  i believe it is just a matter of time before something gives and we are living in the mad max movie.

  this is my first thread ,so be gentle and thanks for any participation.

  The plague, although nothing to be scoffed at, is vastly overrated in history.

  By far the largest killer of the human race, up to this century, has been simple bacterial infection. Actually, as a percentage of deaths, nothing else comes even close.

  Today, due to the efforts of mankind alone, this killer has been reduced magnificently.

  "It defies common sense and human compassion to continue this battle."

  Hear, hear. Why don't they follow their own advice?

  Life expectancy has doubled in the last 100 years. I can expect to live longer than any other persons in history, and my children even longer (except of course, for the fantasy figures of Bible times).

  Crime has dropped in North America for every one of the last nine years.

  I have never known a military draft, and my children likely will never know one either.

  Our last recession lasted three months.

  There is so much food being produced that farmers in my part of the world can't sell it for any reasonable price.

  In general, there has never been a better time to be living.

  Kiss my ass, Jehovah. It DOES belong to man who is walking to direct his own step.

  when i went to mass last sunday, as i walked in there was a stack of leaflets with a message from the cardinal about pedophiles in the church!

  i thought it was great.

  can you imagine how you would feel if you went in to a kh and there was a copy ray franz's book for everyone?

  What really amazes me is how slowly the Witnesses actually grow. When you consider that they are probably the most aggressive recruiting organization in the world, spending in excess of one billion hours per year recruiting, their growth is miniscule.

  Whereas the Catholic church, that appears to do no recruiting whatsoever, adds 13 million additional adherents per year.

  The edict that no one is punished for accepting blood is merely a sham - yet another example of inside/outside doctrines.

  For outsiders, no official disfellowshipping takes place. But everyone on the inside knows that the unofficial shunning is exactly the same. It is the same policy for voting and joining the military.

  They lie to the public, but still enforce their stupid, vicious policies internally.

  The only good thing coming out of this case is that the Witnesses are being treated to a very public airing of this issue.

  of all places, i recently found a joke about jw's at www.skeptic.com, which showed up in a debate between michael shermer and hugh ross.. what do you get if you cross a jehovah's witness with an athiest?

  someone who knocks on your door for no reason at all.. just thought i would let you know that they're thinking about us.

  I lived in Winnipeg between 1979 and 1982, but have pretty much lost contact with the place since then.

  If anyone has any info, let me know. The name that rhymes with "Gee Crapko" sounds like someone I know.

  Big Ray in trouble with Watchtower Society ?

  by jwsons in

  dear everyone,.

  you may known that previously, this discussion forum owned by big ray, he is a faithful witness to watchtower, he sold his forum then formed some other similar forums for others, who faithful to the society.

  however, he now seems has a problem with society.

  I have to wonder if the Society isn't shooting themselves in the foot on this issue.

  The only sites that will buckle into their pressure are the ones that are faithful to them. So, if they systematically shut down all of the favorable sites, then by default, the only ones left will be the apostate sites.

  So, when interested persons or curious Witnesses wander onto the web, they have no option but to visit one of a zillion apostate sites (or one very dry official site).

  Thanks again, WTBTS.
