disclaimer: i do not approve or condone any acts of violence that result in the deaths of innocent persons.. alright.. let me just say that i have no idea what motivated the latest mass shooting, nor do i condone those actions.
i am, however, beginning to understand why some individuals may feel that violence is their only choice, although i do not approve of that choice.. when i read topics on this forum that concern religion and legalism, topics that drone on and on, getting nowhere, i feel extremely frustrated.
yes, religions are given certain freedoms, but many are obviously going beyond the spirit that motivated the separation of church and state.
If the attacks were happening on JW, Mormon, Scientologist, Muslim, and other high control churches I'd agree. But on liberal churches that really let people do anything they want, not too much into their personal lives, don't do shunning, etc, I do not think that is the motivation.
Also many mass shootings happen where people traditionally don't have guns. I don't think any laws for concealed owners to not have one in a church, but bars, schools, etc, are easier targets.
something that bothered me even when i was a watchtower company drone was the thought of dying and being resurrected in paradise.
would the resurrected person really be me or just a copy of me?
if god could recreate one of me, he could also recreate five of me.
Exactly Sour Grapes.
The ONLY way a resurrection would have some type of validity is if it was just like some things said, "sleeping". But when you sleep at night you are not dead, but in a dreamworld, etc. Consciousness and self awareness are the key. Still not fully understood.

Sour Grapes - the cloning makes no sense at all.
Let's say you are resurrected RIGHT NOW. You are alive and here, and suddenly a resurrected copy of you is made. They have all of your memories, traits, etc, but they would essentially be an identical twin to you with the same memories as you. If you then died, you'd be plain dead, and that early resurrected copy of you is just another life form.
Movies like Dark City, 6th Day, etc all kind of show it.
Even teleportation, if a person was broken down, pretty much destroyed and reassembled is that really them or just a clone.
Only thing I can think is if an actual soul or something that would not die or be the original.

why in the hell would we (men) have one less rib...help me folks the adam and eve story has screwed up my thinking...
If it really did happen, then it could be because of the bone marrow. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1329123/Bone-marrow-cell-study-adds-to-clone-campaign.html
"CELLS in bone marrow can be turned into almost any tissue in the body, according to a report published yesterday."
Is there a point to support the copyright holder vs free electronic downloads being that both Ray and his wife have now passed away?
tutorial for making donations electronically video will be considered the week of october 16, 2017.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_z32hlqw-0.
Replace every mention of Jehovah with "tight pants tony" or "the GB" in the video.
For example, "Jehovah the governing body loves a cheerful giver", "Helping Jehovah tight pants tony with my donation",
first they said 20 dead with 100 injured.
now i just heard 50 dead and 200 injured.
whatever it is it just another nut case who was able to get a high power gun to kill people.
Too late for USA to go back, but without the guns, then it would be like Europe, big trucks ramming people, acid attacks like the 458 London alone had last year, knife attacks, etc.
I think one of the major problems are the medications prescribed that make people violent towards others when on the meds or if they miss a few doses/withdrawal. Look up violence and effexor for an example.
Nothing is ever mentioned on the medications these shooters had been on or off of. Big Pharma paying the right people to keep that covered up.
this is such a strange article.

notice the parts about one won't get truth if it's spoon fed.
jp1692 - good stuff on chomsky. Wonder how the WT decided to put him in their stuff. Unless the 1st half of the article was written by an awakened and the 2nd half by the gb lol.
well.....they showed that shunning video again.
you know...the one where goldilocks gets disfellowshipped- and the parents look across the hall at her with disdain.....yeah that video.. i was interested to see what kind of answers would be given during the discussion after the video and some of the reactions.
everyone sat there gormlessly staring at the video.
