Is there really any excuse for shooting and unarmed man then shooting him again in the head when he is already down? All the guy was doing was trying to sell fish. Threatening him with a gun would have been more than sufficient. Did the killer think the fish man would outdraw him with a smoked kipper? Even gladiators have rules of combat!

"The shooter is going to go to prison for life - that really was a 2nd Degree murder."
Yep! He won't be keeping people of his property in prison. They will be taking turns to jump on his back. Happy humping days ahead.

What is the Actual Purpose of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by chapstick infrom the time i was a kid i knew something wasn't quite right about jehovah's witnesses.
most of the family on my mom's side are still in.

"Recently I've visited a Tibetan Buddhist temple a couple of times. It is very interesting, and surprisingly similar to certain kinds of Christianity in many ways."
BTS - You have an admirably balanced perspective.

Your Terrifying Lack of Imagination
by palmtree67 inhttp://blog.sfgate.com/morford/2012/07/31/your-terrifying-lack/.
the article: (i highlighted the part i found interesting.
i have perhaps identified the single most lethal problem facing modern culture.. it has landed upon me once again with an inglorious thump, despite how ive seen it many times previously and merely shrugged it off, ignored its extreme prevalence or merely denied that it was really all that toxic or detrimental to the current state of the world.. i was, i now chillingly confess, dead wrong.. the single most poisonous issue facing the modern world?

"Put simply, it is the ability to dance between all three modes that makes a well-rounded thinker, spirit, human. And it is higher education — particularly in the humanities, though not exclusively — that aims for at least passing fluency in all three levels, so that life, love, God and everything else become dynamic and surprising, never locked into a single rigid, uptight meaning."
That's about as good as it gets. Devotion to any extreme leads to imbalance. We can’t change the world, we can only change ourselves.

You are in an impossible place. Leaving always causes pain, often for many years. Even so, you have to be true to yourself, you have your whole life ahead - and it is your life. Direct confrontation is not always the best way forward. Your family may cope better if they accept your choices a little at a time. Hope things work out for you.

Ah! Regarding Terry's lack of souls. Some say that due to the lack of souls many people now no longer have souls. This accounts for the lack of spiritual interest among so many people who live only for the pleasures of the flesh. Concerned only with life on earth and their physical bodies; zombie like and lacking any sense of direction.
Hold on! Kingdom halls are full of people like that. In fact Jehovah's Witnesses are one of the few religions who claim they do not have souls.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses know what happened to them in 1954?
by Terry in1954: the year jehovah's witnesses stopped worshiping jesus christ.
watchtower charter: http://www.jehovah.net.au/books/1945_cha..._wtbts.pdf.
did you know that from 1879 until 1954 the writings of c.t.russell, j.f.rutherford, nathan knorr and the watchtower's own charter all agreed that jesus christ was worthy of worship?.

Some good information Terry. Here is some additional information relating to this subject, that may interest those reading this thread.
Jesus Appointed Field Marshal
The Watchtower Society had originally referred to Jesus as their Lord, and as with all Christian religions looked to him as their leader. Now they had adopted a new name, less and less reference was made to Jesus as Lord, but attention was slowly directed to Jehovah. This is one translation of the Hebrew name that the Israelites used, though not the most accurate rendering.
Over the years the divine name was to be used more and more, leading to the publishing of the Watchtower Societies own translation of the New Testament in 1950, which placed great emphasis on the name Jehovah. As time passed Jesus was given less and less credit. The Christian churches were criticised for their attention to Jesus instead of the Father Jehovah. This bias has continued until the present day. The Bible calls Jesus ‘King of kings and Lord of lords’ and states that he will personally come with his angels to claim his right to rule the earth. In 1986 the Society referred to Jesus as a field marshal:
Thus, Jehovah of Armies by means of his field marshal Jesus Christ, will gain undying glory for himself surpassing anything that was described in ‘The book of the Wars of Jehovah’ and in the Hebrew scriptures of the Holy Bible. How beautiful a name will Jehovah make for himself by his awe-inspiring victory in ‘the war of the great day of God Almighty! Jubilantly all lovers of that name will then laud it forever, singing forth his praises!Forward, then, into battle action O Jehovah of armies, with your royal son at your side!
Worldwide Peace and Security under the Prince of Peace 1986.
Heading - Jehovah’s name beautified
This colourful and inspiring prose is designed to detract attention away from Jesus. The Society has presumed to take the place that Jesus holds in the minds of most Christians. Instead of looking to Jesus as the mediator for Christians and the only way to salvation, they claim that only by joining and following them can one have a relationship with Jehovah. This means that all members are personally answerable to the Watchtower Society. Members have been trained to believe a relationship with Jehovah through Jesus is impossible without belonging to the Watchtower Society. At the start of 2010 Jehovah’s Witnesses began using a new song book entitled, Sing to Jehovah. It contains 135 songs, 42 of which are new. Not one of the song titles contains the name Jesus or Christ. The Society’s own Bible states, ‘ He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.’ John 5:23 - US spelling.
The following quotes compare the Society’s new arrangement with the Bible record on how the original apostles viewed Jesus:
For there is one God, and also one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, himself a man, who sacrificed himself to win freedom for all mankind…
1 Timothy 2:5 - The New English Bible
The Watchtower Society says:
"Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the mediator … to only 144,000 members "
Worldwide Security under the Prince of Peace - page 10
***
So Jesus asked the Twelve, ‘Do you also want to leave me?
Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom we shall go?
Your words are words of eternal life.’
John 6:67 - The New English Bible
The Watchtower Society says:
Come to Jehovah’s organization for salvation…
Watchtower 15 November 1981 - page 21
