Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD
by neat blue dog inin a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.
i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .
what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

I have never understood the attitude that wants people dead. Ok I know you can get deeply fed and sickened by others but bottom line is God loved the world so much he gave his only-begotten son, in order that everyone excercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
And Jesus taught that God wants MERCY not sacrifice. He came to call sinners not righteous people. (Matthew 9:13)
I remember sitting with another publisher and looking out on a lot of people. The publisher told me they looked forward to seeing all these people die at Armageddon. I was horrified to hear someone express such a callous view and I said so. I wondered what motivated them to go out on the ministry.
After all if you were the parent of a wreckless son or daughter and that one die because of their own folly, even though you never apporved their lifestyle, you, as the parent would never want them dead. But you would yearn for them to stop behaving in a way that was putting them in danger.
Oh well, I got disfellowshipped in the end. -

Today s wt
by road to nowhere inquote from the introduction:.
some apparently claimed to have received a special, mystical knowledge from god.e but their teaching contradicted jesus’ message and encouraged selfishness and a lack of love.
so john calls these teachers antichrists, or those who teach against christ.

BlueBrother - I have recently heard this one - someone quotes something from the WT that reflects what really in is the Bible (WT mixes truth and fiction). So someone quotes a bit of actual truth and shows how the GB are acting against Jesus.
Then the pro WT person responds, "yes it is the truth but not when it comes out of your mouth."
Therefore, "love your neighbour" is true only when expressed by the WT. If you say, "love your neighbour," it is not true.
I think that takes spin to a whole new level.
So don't ever bother trying to telling them 2+2=4 because if you have said it, it must be a lie!??!

If you are talking books - I have invested in a book called Agents of Discord Deprogramming, Pseudo-Science and the American Anticult Movement by Anson Shupe and Susan E. Darnell. It is a brilliant book and draws attention to the problem dealing with new religious movements/cults - its an American/European thing. In law the problem of coming down effectively against cults is that you are allowed freedom of religion but when people disagree with a new religious movement (and call it damaging), is it a secular issue or a theological one? If its secular why are you talking about religion?
If it's religious (and particularly if America) there's little the Government can do because of the First Amendment which protects freedom of religion.
Also do cults carry out mind control? If yes, why do people leave? Shows the issue isn't mind control. But it could be mind manipulation. Then you get back to the issue of is this a secular or a theological problem?

Grant is a nice guy. I am glad you've enjoyed listening to his work. I find the lyrics very moving and know someone who has been in this sitation and watched as the whole family just walked away.
People have left this cult damaged but I'm seeing people come out shaken but ok. And as they find us out here waiting for them, they are so happy.

Is There a Higher Conscious
by LetTheTruthBeKnown inmost of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.
i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.
here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.

You assume wrong Crofty. And your definition of morality is your own not God's. Therefore by what authority can you even call it moral, anymore that Watchtower calls its standards moral by allowing none to disagree. But I disagree both with them and you.
And you slander Jesus Christ and his Father.
John 13:12-16
So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? "You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. "If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. "For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. "Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.
Matthew 20:26,27
"It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;
