Why do you say that?

If there is irrefutable evidence of other intelligent life discovered, the Watchtower's explanation could probably be summarized as: "Satan is trying to distract God's servants from the issue of universal sovereignty by making it APPEAR that there is life elsewhere." Or perhaps they will even spin it as 'Satan creating life elsewhere'.

@Vidiot: I think there would be a fairly large Exodus during the power vacuum / power struggle, coupled with the illusion of invulnerability being shattered. This coming from lurkers and those waking up looking for hard and fast proof that it's just a corporation. However, the die hard remnant would be even more fanatical and support whatever form of leadership which rears its head from Headquarters.

Why don't they denounce ISLAM and it's leaders the way they do the Catholic Church? That would show real brass BALLS.

Special Conmemorative 100th Anniversary Bible to be released next year!
by Calebs Airplane inas many of you know, the watchtower corporation has recently slowed bible production significantly over the past year... i'm sure there are several reasons for this.
money being the main one.
but i suspect that they are also anticipating a significant exodus worldwide after the 100th anniversary of jesus' kingdom with "the end" being no where in sight.

Why does god kill children?
by Comatose ini was thinking about all the accounts in the bible that indicate god kills children as a punishment or teaching experience.
1. kills all of egypts firstborn sons, who were innocent kids who did nothing to him or his people, who had no control over the decisions pharoah made.
how many times have you read that account or thought about it without realizing the devastating pain dealt to all those parents, and remembered those were innocent kids?.

jw07
I can murder, rape, plunder, maim, vandalize if I have an imaginary friend to blame all of my actions on can I not?
An imaginary being told me to do all of these things, he is very powerful and intelligent...but you just can't see him, or can't see him and live, according to a book He 'wrote' about Him, written by humans who don't make mistakes...oh wait...they do.
Being an all powerful being He could have thought the most accurate literature about himself into existence, but wait, he didn't, he 'inspired' scores of random men (gender bias much) over the course of thousands of years and instructed them to write it! That's what the men who wrote his book for him said so surely it must be from God Himself!
If I hear voices telling me to spread disease into a population, drop a bomb on a building because your all powerful imaginary friend and instructions from him are different, or strap a bomb to my chest and detonate on a bus to murder...I mean kill...I mean...stop my enemies, and attribute my psychotic break to MY all powerful imaginary friend I am right in doing so am I not?
He told me to do all of these things for the greater good, and so I do them...
but wait, other people say my actions are wrong and attribute them to a powerful imaginary enemywho only exists for now because my good all powerful imaginary friend allows him to be in order to prove him wrong!
There is no God, there is no devil, neither exist, at least not according to descriptions of them by man.
We all make choices and often seek to find a scape goat because it is hard to live with wrong choices. Or have good events happen to us, which we are not smart or aware enough to understand (and are afraid to admit it).
Why not attribute it all to imaginary beings the same way that the Greeks had Gods for most forces of nature?
Maybe 100 years from now there will be major belief in a single dual personality God. A God who creates only so he can later destroy to improve, thus justifying all tragedy.People would stillmurder, rape, plunder, maim, vandalize to fullfil one train of objectives for that imaginary being: to help him create or destroy.
It has always been the same story and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
The all powerful imaginary friend and enemy saga!
