In response to Rutherfraud's failed "Millions" campaign predictions for 1925, New Zealanders greeted JFR with this sign in his 1938 visit to that country, which is damn hilarious:

"Millions now living would rather die
than listen to Judge Rutherford."

it's utterly amazing to me how religious belief in an omnipotent deity shapes some people's thinking.. one woman whose family missed the air asia flight which crashed stated that it was god's will to give her father hepatitis so that she canceled her family's vacation trip on that flight.

she says she believes god saved her family and protected them.

however, she later mourns the fact that she lost friends on the flight...so does she believe god deliberately planned for them to die?

"...it was God's will to give her father hepatitis so that she canceled her family's vacation trip on that flight."

What a great god. And yet, people will believe in and worship such a person. Amazing.

St. Teresa of Avila once told god, "If this is the way you treat your friends, no wonder you have so few."

"The dice of God are always loaded." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"God is indeed dead.
He died of self-horror
when He saw the creature He had made
in His own image." -- Irving Layton

Bible's mention of physical beauty- why?

by Magnum in

for years, as i've read through the bible, i've wondered why bible writers were concerned about physical beauty (see references below)?

i realize it's human nature to be interested in beauty, but why did they see fit to record in the so-called "word of god" the fact that some of the people they wrote about were beautiful?

looks are not supposed to matter according to jw doctrine (and probably the doctrine of many christian-professing sects).

@ Outlaw.... yep. Fred and Olive are one hot couple... the beautiful people. LOL.

Glad you're back, Outlaw. I like your new avatar.

Same with my account, Oubliette: 95 posts and one topic for me.

Simon....

I'm not getting the quote button to work no matter what I try (highlighting the material then clicking "; click the quote button first; re-clicking it, etc.)

You mentioned in an earlier post that the quote button is supposed to toggle on and off... mine doesn't do that.

Suggestions?

My dub aunt thinks Obama is mentioned in the bible.

by Jehovah lol in

she's not even american and doesn't live in the usa so it's not even her area of political awareness really.

she seems convinced that obama is the prophesied wolf in sheep's clothing mentioned in revelation.. it's unusual for non-us dubs to hold the weirder beliefs, so this is a new one for me.

she also said that the end is very close now and that things are a foot with north korea; it's clearly the king of the north.. she said exactly the same thing 5 years ago about china, and exactly the same thing 10 years ago about iraq.. derp derp..

JWs have been looking for 'X = fulfilled Bible prophecy' for 134 years. This is yet another example of the 'JW absurdities recycling program':

"Did you ever stop to consider how the radio is fulfilling a prophecy before our eyes today?... When people tune in on WBBR or WORD, or other stations now being used to disseminate the message of Messiah's incoming kingdom, they are witnessing and hearing the fulfillment of this ancient prophecy..." (Golden Age, 12-1-26)

"ONE of the Lord's promises to His followers was, "That which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops." This prophecy is being literally fulfilled by the Bible Students today, every time they use the radio." (Golden Age 4-20-27)

"... hundreds of Jehovah’s Witnesses regularly converge for advanced Bible study."

LOL.

"advanced Bible study" = how to find a scripture on an iPad.
