"Switzerland issues every adult a gun and trains them how to use it: Switzerland has lowest gun-related crime rate in the civilized world."
if events like the recent school shooting in newtown are to be avoided from here on out, we must understand who or what is to blame.
there is a reason that it happend, maybe it was simple or maybe it was very complex, but this didn't just simply happen.
a series of events transpired that inspired or even just allowed adam lanza to commit this terrible atrocity.

Gun free zones are the problem. All the mass shootings happen in gun free zones. My dozens of guns have never killed anyone nor have my many thousands of cartridges or the tens of thousands of rounds that I've already fired.
they argue that we never tire of our food , never tire of sex (except the single resurrected who will be celibate) etc etc, there is so much to see and do.
so we all want to live forever and never die:.
life in paradise -.
Everyone and everything wants to live forever (except people with mental health issues). I'd love to live forever on paradise earth. But, I would do no worshipping and I'd be forever trying to build the perfect mouse trap or more realistically, the perfect space ship to find my next home before our sun goes super nova.
I'd travel a lot. I'd always be in F or J going to Asia, Europe, South America and Oz. The rest of the time I'd be diving cold fresh water shipwrecks. Helium would be unlimited in paradise! :D
does it become boring/monotonous reading thread after thread about how terrible the gb is and how much of a cult jws are...etc.
etc.?.
.
I prefer the posts with amusing (and not so amusing) anecdotes regarding the cult members.
dear friends:.we are under attack by email hijacking and someone is using our email address to send out spam.
it has to be because of the confidential documents that were going out in the emails.
i will have to discontinue the emails and go back to posting the documents on jwn..this is an example of just how badly somone wants to keep these documents out of the public eye.
Theocratic Warfare?
on their website, the soc explains why they are halving the size of the public wt and awake!
magazines:.
and this is the wt only, not the awake!.
My question is when will the WT start doing outside publishing jobs? I'm sure the UN could use a good publishing company.
after reading the thread about jw kids getting gifts all year and not needing christmas, i thought about how i was told there would be plenty of toys in the new system.
i was told that on my birthday too.
and now i started thinking about all the things i justified suffering growing up as a kid, and then a teenager, and then an adult, because it would be better in the new system.
I only put things off until I was of legal age and could get out of that stupid cult of mentally ill people.
to gunowners:.
is your gun in a place where a child, unstable person, mentally ill person, suicidal person, or stranger cannot get to it?
do you ..right now, know an unstable person that owns a gun?
I have a couple...couple dozen. All but two are locked in my safe. One is stashed somewhere in my house and another is sitting next to me. I have thousands of rounds of ammo but none of that is locked up. I also have a lot of smokeless powder and primers as well as bullets and shell casings. I didn't kill anyone today nor have I in the past. I don't plan on it in the future either but I do practice in case the need to defend myself or others from great bodily harm or death arises.
hey,.
i've been lurking on this website for a few years now and finally made an account.
i have serious doubts about the organization in general and still have not made up my mind about what to believe.
Welcome CT! I just joined too. I was reading through the Bethel thread on here and I had this thought it would be great to send someone in under cover to document all the nasty things that go on at Bethel. You'd be the perfect candidate. I'll even take care of your flight there and back. :D
i'll refrain from commenting on the shooting.
i spent 2 hours on fb last night doing that.
let's just say i'm a devout 2nd amendment supporter and believe more guns are the answer.. .

Anyhoo, I'm 48 and I was DFed when I was 19. I was born and raised in the Lie and hated nearly every minute of it. I was pressured into getting babtized at 14 and things went down hill from there. I tried to block all things JW out of my mind and I have lead a pretty decent life (which would have been even better if I would have went to college. I was accepted into the Institute of Technology at the U of M but never went) and have a good career that I love. But, I've had to work my ass off to get to where I am now.
I have 6 siblings and I think only 2 are regular JWs. My mother is a vegetable in a home and my dad regularly attends. He was inactive for most of my teen years but was an elder when I was young but removed himself for whatever reason. I still kinda believed that BS until about 3 years ago when I stumbled across C0C. It really opened my eyes and pissed me off at the same time. That's also about the same time I checked out this site. I tried to join a few times but this site is technically all fupped duck.
So, unless I getted booted out of here, you guys are stuck with me.
