hmm ... all this freemasonry posting has sent me off on a trail.
found a bit of a spooky site at http://www.newnetizen.com/globalelite/bloodlines/russellbloodline.htm which has page after page about the watchtower and especially c.t.russell.
they reckon he is from a long line of russells who were masons.
one ritual is were the body and blood are passed around from member to member. each person is called upon to reject the christ in turn by passing on the platter untouched.
most JW's are just not ready or willing to believe thay were duped by a masonic front.

under the heading "babylonia".
at first nabuchodonosor ii began a small guerilla warfare against jerusalem; then, in 607 b.c., he dispatched a considerable army, and after a while began the siege in person.. can any apostate tell me what's wrong with this quote?
9th, 586 B.C., they poured in through a breach in the wall of Ezekias and took the city by storm. They captured the flying Zedekias and brought him before Nabuchodonosor at Riblah, where his children were slain before him and his eyes blinded. The city was destroyed, and the temple treasures carried to Babylon.

i just read the tragic story of the man in chicago who beat his daughter to death.
i have read stories here and on silentlambs about sexual abuse.. my question is: how much fault can be placed on the religion and how much on the perversions of a particular individual?
i frankly don't know the answer to this question.
"they were meting out the biblical punishment of "40 lashes minus one, three times," detectives said Monday."
were would he have gotten this idea?
Constance Slack, a registered nurse at a children's hospital, gagged her daughter, Laree, while she was strapped down to a futon, police said. Her father, Larry Slack, then repeatedly hit the child with an inch-thick section of rubberized electrical cable filled with strands of wire, police said. She died of internal bleeding.
a registered nurse!! she knew
"Larry Slack is a firm believer in corporal punishment, and he and his wife decided to administer discipline from the Bible, investigators said."
who supported and encouraged "corporal punishment"
""It was his attempt to teach his daughter about responsibility,'' Area 2 Sgt. Stan Salabura said."
were did he get the idea that corporal punishment teaches responsibility?
it's the person's fault for following men.
lit me ask somthing, if the kid had lived, like so many of us did, would her parents be "righteous" in there "loving dicipline"? would her dad have been supported and comforted with words like "spare the rod spoil the child". or "i'm sure it hurt you more then her"

i was at work tonight and we were joking around and talking about old shows we used to watch while growing up.
i thought it would be fun if we wrote a line from a show and see if we could guess what show it came from.
my name is lenny, and if i ain't got it, there isn't any.
One kid to the other, "How do you know they're parents?"
Kid: "You can always tell parents."

....."Whoops! Slippery little suckers aren't they!?"

"You hit two cones. Those could have been people, they could have been guests at her wedding."
"They were cones!"
the wedding singer?
"Maybe we should mess up the place - you know, leave them a little message."
"I don't think they're gonna get that message, the guy's got worms in his living room."

okay, it's an old question but we haven't examined it here yet so let's have your thoughts.. adam was the progenitor of the whole human race, from his genes sprang the negroid, caucasian, mongoloid, indo-european and every other race on the planet.. the hebrew people were not selected as jehovah's chosen nation until abram had found favour with god so presumably all races were equal in his eyes before then.. so then, what basis is there, if any, for deciding what adam and eve's skin colour may have been?.
could they not indeed have been black or blonde or chinese looking?.
this is a pointless discussion i grant you.
It seems to me that the body types we call white are adapted to the could, while the body types we call black are adapted to the heat. I haven't found one difference in bodes that don't help the people survive best in the environments that they are found in naturally, aside from migration and interbreeding.
it is abundantly clear from the historical evidence that the "gardan" was on the planit Mars. when the first people were kicked out of the gardan thay were ovviously transported to the area of the world we now call the bermuda triangle. Kent is correct in his assertion as to the original color of Adam. however Jehovah changed there color. this is referenced in the bible by the "animal skins" they were given to help them survive in the drastically different environment here on earth.

new software has been developed by the brothers at the london bethel which heralds a major advancement in computer controlled publishing.
it has been described as the biggest step forward in the integration of artificial intelligence and real time content authorship ever to be achieved.
the basis for the break through was the merger of two systems which have been in use at jehovahs witnesses printing facilities for some time; the multi-lingual photo-type setting system and the cd edition of the watch tower library.. two huge cray computers running neural-net design artificial intelligence engines scan old copies of watchtowers, awakes and numerous other witness literature and re-draft the information into an entirely new and palatable form complete with pictures and various other resources from a un database.
wow! jehovahs got kick ass computers. i wonder what kind of port the holy spirit needs to jack in to that system.
