the ones i'm familiar with are from the repercussion of the rape and murder of the levites concubine.
judges 19-21 .
about 100,000 died in battle then all the towns of benjamin were put to the sword as were the people that didn't join in against the benjamites.
I like this one:
Duet 2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us (the Israelite army) pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate..... And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain.
Charming eh?

anyone know of a link?.
brought to my attention by a cyp thread that i no longer have one in my library.. jeff
Well, this may be more than you want, but you can apparently download their entire CD rom which has the reasoning book in it. It's at: reexamine.org

You look forward to JW's knocking on your door...
When you have a whole new catagory of spoof names: Jojooba, Jee-ho--ver, Dubs, Hoba-dubs, Duds, King-dumb hall, da toof.
When you can distinguish JW's from Mormons at 65 mph.
When you've thought about "acting interested" so that cute pioneer chick has a study with you ;)
jehovah's witnesses frequently blame the evil in this world on satan and his demons.
god could destroy the devil today if he wanted to but there are reasons why that doesnt happen which i accept.
but if god did destroy the satan the devil today would pedophiles, rapists, murderers, terrorists and natural disasters, etc... cease to exist over night because satan does not exist.
I personally don't believe in the "Boogie Man".
What kind of screwed up logic has a "God of Love" leaving his human creation susceptible to a powerful, unseen, evil creature to be influenced, manipulated and deceived. If true God plans to kill humans for falling prey to the wolf he unleashed on his children.
It's the same senslessness found in all of humanities ancient religious superstitions.
i was at a book study when i was in my teens and went to use the bathroom, and the family who owned the home said to use the one in their bedroom, as someone was already in the other one.
so i did and as i was in there i noticed a magazine on the counter that was only partly covered.
i could not help myself, and looked to see what it was and it was a penthouse.
When I was at Bethel I had a Job that caused me to work on Sundays. One day I went back to my room and flipped through the TV channels. We got 9 channels from Satellite that Bethel arranged for. On channel 1 I noticed through all the fuzz that there was actually a porno flick airing! I'd bet money that some audio/video geek was watching this on the Bethel Satellite feed, not knowing that it was spilling over onto channel 1.
Just my theory.

i have had a quick look and found no references to this, so - here goes..as in the mag we picked up on sunday.. worldwide % increase over 2004 = 1.3%.
memorial partakers 8524 (compared to 8570 in 2004).
most european and nth american lands show pretty static figs - britain 1% increase, canada 0%, germany 0%, france 1%, usa 0%... but spare a thought for the inhabitants of zambia where 1 person in 90 is a reporting witness, must be hell going down to the local market!
David2002,
Regarding the favorable articles about JW's doing charitable work. Perhaps you can provide links to these articles. The only one's I've seen were JW's helping pimarily other JW's.
Thanks

it's very strange what happened to me those days.
right now im leaving the borg and moving from my appart(im with a pioneer).
im keeping myself informed and right now im reading crisis of conscience by raymond franz.
They've taught you all the while to fear, fear, fear, if you ver leave them. You've formed a dependancy on JW's. Like all dependancies there is a withdrawel period. Just relax and remember. They haven't been right about anything in the past 125 years!
