i was thinking this morning after having another plane crash dream ( i used to have them a lot just before 9/11, and then they stopped...and they just started again...so im worried) that since this isnt armageddon, becoming or being a jehovahs witness is not going to save anybody from getting their a$$ blown off or inhaling fatal bacteria released into the air.
they will die like everybody else will!
since this isnt gods war...what business do they have telling people that becoming a jw now is going to afford them protection?
Anybody who dies under this current set of circumstances, according to the JWs, good bad or indifferent, is entitled to a resurrection anyway
Not quite true. They still have that one unforgivable sin category, which pretty much covers anyone who disagrees with the organization.
this appeared in the february 7, 2003 issue of the regina leader-post.
thought you would all enjoy it as much as i did.. .
love, scully
Thats wild Scully,
Can you either post the article or send me a copy too?! What law is this guy talking about, Canadian or God's? Either way he's way off base.
can the governing body of hypocrites ever admit that they are wrong?
the watchtower august 1st 1978 issue, page 3:.
can you admit when you are wrong?.
The modern Watch Tower Publishing Corporation takes pride in admitting they are wrong. One of their core teachings is the position that a requirement for a true organization is their willingness to admit to making mistakes.
Unfortunately the willingness to admit to having been mistaken will never translate into redressing the problems created by their errors. You'll never see a story in the watchtower saying:
We regret to inform you that the people who DF'd the people who were DF'd have now been DF'd themselves.
.
does anyone remember what thread on which there was a lengthy essay by a military expert about the effects of nerve gas, bombs, etc.?
thanks.. pat

you're canadian when
signs showing you might be from canada... .
you're not offended by the term "homo milk".
George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams and other presidents were also born in the one country that later became known as Canada
This is all news to me. I would have thought most of these men were born in one of the 13 colonies. There wasn't much to English Canada prior to your American revolution. The area known as Upper Canada (now Ontario) basically became populated by the United Empire Loyalists following your revolution. It was the sons of these men and women who kicked American butt in the war of 1812.

when speaking to a jw the other day, i didn't really have a good explanation of ecclesiastes 9:5, where it says that the dead are conscious of nothing at all.. what is everybody's take on it?
For me to beleive crap like this, I'd have to be dead from the neck up.
Remember: Blessed are the cheesemakers.

Remember that old saying "Out with the old in with the new".But there NEW body(of spirit) that they have is very much conscious active an alive.They switched bodies so the old one is gone and dead but the new one is active has life.Makes sense doesn't it!!!!
You don't really beleive this crap do you? If you do I got a great deal for ya....
all religions have doctrines.
these doctrines, without exception have been "invented " by man.so it does not matter which religion you choose, you are relying on what a man or group of men say or think what god wants.
various religions have different ways of indoctrinating a person into believing in what he says.
If you elect to join a religion just wipe out the doctrine part and you are back to the basics which is useful to run a society and generate the necessary laws to live with
Are you serious??

perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.
as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.
since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.
Tex,
The tap dancing starts on pg 20 of this thread. It would appear YK has no honor.
what would it take for islamic extremists to give up on terror attacks against the west?
the u.s. to completely leave the middle east to it's own devices?.
u.s. become isolationist nation and not have foreign policy?.
In the new system.
