  if you've come here for truth, you've come to the wrong place. These people aren't interested in truth. They're just interested in critizing the WTB&TS.

  Just listen to how they celebrate christmas, and make excuses for that. Some even give a pat on the back to the Catholic church because they didn't kill as many Jews as the Nazi's!!!

  Truth? Yeah right.

  to me many here just exchange one lie for another. Many claim that you would find greater love here than in the WTB&TS, but they are just as much backbiters as the people they condemn for doing the same things.

  Try to be honest here and you just get berated and get put down very low on the "totem-pole."

  i really hate my job, and want to resign.

  would really love to persue my dream job as a professional loafer, but i wonder how much it would pay?

  but seriously, though i always wanted to write novels, be creative and artistic.

  Ever see those complete airheads that get to travel the world looking for the wild hot spots in all the exotic locations. Bam! That would be it baby! E channel.

  Absolute airheads!!! and they get to travel the world and get paid for it too. It's a wonder their implants (men&women)don't explode from all that high elevated plane travel.

  Except my focus wouldn't be the "Hotspots." Never was one for the "night-life." My focus would be more like National Geographic centric.

  having a hard time with dateline eh?.

  i admire what you are trying to do in behalf of all those that have been sexually abused, but i believe you are going about it in the wrong way.. you have taken up a fight against jehovah himself and this is futile.

  the organization has some flaws, as is expected of any imperfect organization.

  I always understood that Jehovah STARTED with his own house.

  The Israelites were God's chosen people, it was the "truth" at that time. It has been pretty much demonstrated just how imperfect they were. But God still allowed his son Jesus to be born among and holding to that nation. As imperfect as it was, it was still God's "tool" to deliver the Messiah, and I guess it will still be the same case in our day.

  ---

  I tried to talk with silentlambs before but he/she was completely unreasonable. S/He puts on a pretense for caring about molested children, but s/he narrows their focus on the WTB&TS; thereby demonstrating that s/he really has a differnt agenda.

  It is to destroy/attack the WTB&TS hell or high-water.
  S/He doesn't care so much about the children that were hurt. S/He cares that it was within the WTB&TS organization.

  I attempted to argue that if s/he keeps publishing some really outlandish stories without verification of their truthfulness and ALL of them against the WTB&TS that s/he would discredit their own cause.

  S/He actually attacked me verbally for trying to help!!!

  Preparing the sheep for Dateline

  here's a quote from purlanguage.net regarding a recent special assembly day:.

  our speaker from bethel told us that something big is coming from the apostates in the next few weeks, something is afoot.

  also to prepare for outright persecution in the united states, as well as elsewhere.

  I'm Jack Benny's age. What was that 39? Funny how a man of 39 could wrinkle so badly and go bald.

  Seriously I'm 42 1/2 but my body has an age somewhere in the mid 50's

  What about transplanted organs?
  Do you then have 2,3,4, etc. birthdays?

  INCREDIBLE STUFF SAID @ BOOK STUDY!

  Elsewhere

  I have a theory on this as well. It sounds silly but bear with me.

  Would you agree that if humans can do something, that God can do it infinitely better?

  Look or listen to something from years ago. on tape/video.TV/radio, etc.

  Though I don't watch them much, I like to use the 3 stooges.

  They are all dead now.

  However, we are capable, in our own little way, of bringing them back from the dead. We can relive the moment countless times. We hear them we see them. Eventually, someday the holodeck from Star Trek will be a reality; now we can "touch" them.

  When that tape or CD or DVD is copied every single bit is copied to the next, into the 100's or 1000's. It is played and reconstructed by every compliant device and delivered faithfully to it's destination every time. Exactly the same everytime.

  Also, think of all the data that is copied back and forth on a daily basis (just in the form of pirating software and/or duplicating software). The bit stream is absolutely astronomical. Who can count it? Yet something as crude as mechanical machines repeat this feat faithfully right down to the last bit. Exactly, everytime.

  If all we are then, is a bit stream in the great expanse of time and to God, then how faithfully (no pun intended) can he reconstruct us?

  If we can do something then God can do it one better.

  IF I keep this up I may make it to the GB

  I don't really know how to draw a conclusion on this one. I have voiced my opinions very strongly before on the idiots at the WTB&TS.

  According to the bible David sinned several times

  One time the a died -for David's mistake. Did God murder the child? Who paid for the mistake, God's "mouthpiece" or someone else?

  David enumerated the people after God said not to. Thousands died, again at the hands of God's "mouthpiece."

  Jesus recognized that somewhere around 18 people died in a tower collapse. Whose to blame? Why was nothing done?

  In the grand scheme of things then does it all really matter? 200 years from now who is going to give a shit about what happened 200 years previous?

  If God can resurrect people from the dead, in the long run what does anything matter? All the wrongs will be righted.

  It's easy for me to say, but being one of the most resentful/unforgiving people on earth, hard to put into practice.

  since when does someone remain in good standing in the cong when they commit adultery? That's a new one on me.

  They may not get DF'd if they are truly repentant, but that does not mean in good-standing does it?

  I heard a case, yes straight from the horses mouth.

  This guy was being appointed an elder.

  His wife complained to the body of elders, that her hubby, soon to be or already appointed was in the habit of watching porn videos, not to mention that he beat her too.

  He used the excuse that she withheld sex from him. she says she didn't.

  They basically said, well a man's got to do something, they have to have some outlet.

  And they appointed him anyway. I think one of the things they used also was that a wife shouldn't correct her husband.

  He is now DF'd for adultery. She divorved him.

  Kaboom!

  Another analogy that I got/get tired of hearing was the one about the Titanic. Please, oh God, please, why couldn't I have been in the cargo hold.

  Farkel
  

  Since most of these policies have changed that means they were wrong to begin with. That translates into MURDER or at least unnecessary MANSLAUGHTER at the very least.

  In kind...
  So when science comes up with new advancements, especially in medical technology, does that imply that previous to that, all the people who died before that time were somehow retroactively murdered?

  Science finds a cure for some disease, less people are dying as a result of that disease, but now we have mass starvation, because now the "weak" are not being pruned from society; the sick survive with the strong. The genetical mapping pool is not "taught" to survive per se, rather it becomes progressively weaker, until some absolutely killer disease comes along. So what's better/worse?

  When science comes up with something new there are always sociological implications/complications.

  I think you catch my drift, right?
