  Evidently Jehovah has removed wheels from AWAA's chariots. He's split the internet sea in two and will soon bring the waters crashing down upon the entire wicked system of online apostasy.

  rostov-on-don, april 8 (ria novosti) prosecutors in the southern russian city of taganrog have charged 16 jehovah's witnesses with taking part in the activities of an extremist organization after they allegedly resurrected the banned local branch of the international religious organization.. according to investigators, the religious groups followers continued to hold regular meetings after their local branch was banned in the city in 2009. at the meetings, they allegedly incited hatred against other religions, circulated extremist literature and called for military draft dodging.. the suspects also attempted to involve children in their activities and collected money for the organization, the prosecutors said in a statement.. the case materials will be sent to the taganrog city court after the suspects are informed of the charges, the statement said.. the jehovah's witnesses organization, which has more than seven million followers worldwide, including over 130,000 in russia, has been banned in a number of russian regions and in some former soviet republics over its religious beliefs.. the jehovah's witnesses branch in the russian capital was dissolved by a district court ruling in 2004, but the european court of human rights declared the decision illegal in 2010.. .

  One thing the prosecutors in Russia got right was the WT/JWs do incite hatred of other religions and arguably their literature can be interpreted as extremist. Not saying either should be a crime, just saying.

  I don't like this study. I'm a clothes fetish kinda guy, and seeing a woman in a bra is actually hotter than seeing the goods.

  Being honest & fair, can you think of anything that the Watchtower does that's beneficial to the public?

  i'm curious, as where i reside there's about to be a major brouhaha over the tax exempt status of a major player in this area.

  reading and hearing the arguments from both sides conjured thoughts about the tax exempt status of religions and the arguments associated with that issue.

  a significant portion of the arguments related to that issue center around how a tax exempt organization benefits it's community.

  In helping people learn about the Bible, JWs have been able to inspire some people to break bad habits or stop self-destructive behavior. That can be a positive thing, but it's also something that could be accomplished without destructive social influences.

  ok, that is in harmony with Sir82's post.

  provided the impetus for drug abusers / alcoholics to straighten out their lives and become productive members of society.

  So between those two thoughts and the following,

  There have been occasions where they did help some in the community to learn how to read and write.

  We're still stuck on only two aspects where the WT actually provides something beneficial to the average community.

  Is there nothing else? Is that it?

  since i joined the forum i noticed more than a few people have not been posting, what is going on?

  i received a couple of emails from other groups asking me to join their new forms with a promised technology, i wondered how they got my email address and thought it be strange.. .

  people during the first year of a great change might post daily to any support chat or message board they feel is going to aid them.

  The WTS has, on occasion, provided the impetus for drug abusers / alcoholics to straighten out their lives and become productive members of society.

  Ok, that's two. Two more than I could think of as well.

  Comedian Jonathan Winters Died Yesterday at 87

  always loved his comedy - very inventive.

  in his later years, he was a fixture around town.

  he'd hang out (sometimes in front of the market, or at an executive services office in the village) and do comedy routines and banter with anyone who came by.. .

It made me question whether the Watchtower and JWs, but primarily the Watchtower, do they benefit the community in any way that you can think of? Cuz I'm striking out.

  How is Life measured at Death?

  by Monsieur in

  recently an old friend died in an accident at the tender age of 35. the unfortunate event has been described from 'sad' to 'unfair' etc.. dying of old age is one thing, dying of sickness even.. but dying abruptly in an accident (or worse, being eaten by another creature, shark etc) is downright ludicrious.. if there is no afterlife in any shape or form, and one dies being struck by a surviving drunk driver or murdered at a theater, a tornado, or mauled by piranhas, what the hell is the point of that??.

  what of all your work to raise a good family, helping your fellow man, doing good deeds, building something etc.??.

  it's almost laughable to think that one can do all these things and in the broad spectrum of things death can make it all ultimately meaningless....
