its not too often that this magnitude of a tragedy hits our small neck of the woods, but this one is big.
apparently a disgruntled employee burst into a factory (nu wood), and shot around 35 employees......no details on the shooter yet, or the casulties.
the factory is located in goshen, which is about 10 miles from my office here in elkhart, indiana.
i cant believe the insanity lately.
Could it be that Jesus and later Paul were right about the end? hmmmm.
we are not jehovah's witnesses because of a variety of circumstances, but one thing we all share is that we question.. what factors come together to make us questioners?.
intelligence?
but i know a lot of very smart non-questioning jehovah's witnesses.. bravery?

joel: Yep you were a moron and yep there were a lot of morons among the Witnesses in 1975, but there are millions more that are were not and are not morons.
...that jw's have a hard time forgiving others because they themselves are rarely forgiven for their own sins.
according to their beliefs jehovah keeps track of every detail of your life...good and bad.
that even if you are humble and repent of your sins, that there is still no true forgiveness until the new system.
ashitaka: ouch that hurts!

Billygoat:
sorry for being jerky towards you. sometimes I act stupid. I'm really sorry about your relationship with your dad. Maybe if you try to find a common ground with him, well its just a thought. I loved my dad very much (I lost him a couple of years back) and I don't know what I would have done without his love and advise. I wish you had the same. I think communication is done better in person, instead of by email. Hope someday you two can patch things up.

JT:
I understand your point. Thanks for writing that long post. It made me think.
I have one more comment. There are many black and white areas today that are directly handled biblically. For example, you should not kill, should not steal etc. Those are clear. But there are also many gray areas that are handled by the Service department of the WT. They try to weigh those gray areas with Bible laws and principles. There have been many adjustments and I have to say that Jehovah will judge even the organization for mistakes.

ohh shut your yapper with your damn false prophecys! Only a few stupid morons were affected by 1975. I was there I never went ahead of the organization, I waited and figured hey Franz just got overly excited. Happens to the best of us.
