gb member sanderson has given a hate speech in response to the recent russian ban.
it was given as a morning worship rant.
sanderson sports his usual smirk.. he opens up quoting matthew 10:22, 23 about persecution.
"All governments throughout history have raped religions of their assets"
...and religions have raped individuals of their assets. Aren't the government's assets also the people's assets? Therefore the stolen assets were just returned to the rightful owners.
some 35 miles from here, in the small town of magnolia, ar, a teen couple is in trouble -- as they should be -- for allowing their 2 week old girl, a 5 pound baby, to suffer nearly 100 bites from rats.
one of the bites was so large and deep it required plastic surgery.
i don't want to even think about the horror this teeny creature felt during those instances -- and the horrible nightmares she may suffer in years to come.. i wonder if this is one of those human experiences that may be worse than what christ suffered on that stake.
"Jesus' death was the ultimate sacrifice."
Drearyweather
How does that work? Try explaining in a rational way without resorting to the apostle Paul contrivances.
How did anyone benefit from that sacrifice? We get far greater benefit from many scientists who gave up many of their personal pleasures to give us many medical procedures that have extended and improved our lives. Jesus' death didn't improve humanity one iota. If anything, it delayed improvements to our lives for 2,000 years (Christianity's rise and ongoing slow decline)
every time i've asked this in an existing thread, i've never gotten an answer, so forgive me for starting a new thread in order to ask again.
i simply cannot figure out how to quote someone with the standard yellow box.
i can copy/paste the quote, sure, but nothing i do makes it appear in a yellow box like everyone else.

I just used Firefox, but Internet Explorer doesn't give me the same results

You use the button with this symbol ". However, if your web browser is Internet Explorer, it doesn't work. If you use Firefox it works.
okay, so everyone is bent out of shape about how the wts is re-writing their history on their past failed predictions (1975).
other threads deal in all the evidence to tear apart their shameless propaganda, so i won't dwell on that here.. but, what i will do is list a couple of observations, silly as they are, that aren't about the propaganda so much as it is about the set design, and costume design.
feel free to add to the list.. early scene where the wife is dying.
The wife was not dead. Pay attention at how she opens her eyes when the face of hubby gets to close to her face. Almost like saying: "what the f*** are you doing?"

no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .
The listener: "The acting is stiff or stilted or something like that. It doesn't sound or look natural"
What do you expect when the actors are robots? They are pre-programmed robots in their own "normal life".
a disfellowshiped brother wrote a letter of disquisition to the governing body of wbts a little while ago.
it was not in any way nasty, derogatory, rude, blasphemous, or with profanity but it was civil, truthful, & very informative that some have described as extremely truthful to enlightening, an ebullient disclosure.
i got to see some paraphrases extracted from it that have been circulating quietly or rather secretly passed around & i agree with the latter description.. the governing body was greatly perturbed, alarmed, to confused with this letter particularly as they became aware several of the congregation were also sent copies which some of the local congregational elders raised controversial questions about but mainly was dismissed by them without reading, to scoffing & ridicule but some also saw something more truthful to concern them.
More evidence and plain English please. I have a dictionary and a Thesaurus too, but my memory suffices in ordinary Internet conversations. Pompous language always detracts from the message.
I forgot, welcome!!!

the sanctuary? holy of holies!
Persecution is real!
Is it the apostates, a disgruntled MS, or the GB building a story to sell to the doubting crowd?
i have a legitimate question and i am not trying to start a fight.
i keep reading that there were 6 child abuse lawsuits that settled for 13 million dollars.
how do people like barbara anderson or jwsurvey or jwfacts come up with this number?
Richard Oliver: "Doctrine is up to interpretation"
Yes an interpretation that has robbed many people of their money, their lives, their time. An interpretation that has led to the abuse of children all over the world, but I digressed... what matter is the accuracy of the settlement victims got. Who cares about the causes of the settlement, and the damage inflicted to the victims. Right Richard?
greetings, word lovers:.
in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.
one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.
Chutzpah (from Yiddish)
Shameless audacity
A word that describes the Watchtower to a T when it judges others for lying
