At least T-Mo3 isn't wearing tight pants. That would be weird.
However, he's still obviously still on his burnt wiener kick. Ouch.

a woman has been shot dead by a 2-year-old in a wal-mart store in idaho.. .
the 29-year-old was shopping with four children in the store in hayden, when the two-year-old reached into her handbag and fired the weapon, shooting her dead.. initial reports suggested the woman was the boy's mother, but the police have said that this is as yet unclear how they are related.. source; http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/toddler-accidentally-shoots-woman-in-idaho-walmart-9950847.html.
i've nothing to add to my past comments on americas psychotic relationship with guns.
I apologize, BB.
I didn't realize you knew this woman personally and saw this whole incident unfold firsthand, putting you in a position to pass judgment so easily.
I now feel rather silly for withholding judgment pending the outcome of the police investigation.
as a baby-boomer, i went through the pre-1975 bs without giving it any credence.. even as a youngster, my mind said: "if jesus said that no man knows the day or hour, then why the h is everyone saying that a is coming in oct.
" and i left as a teen.. for whatever insane reason, i was convinced to return a number of years later, and sadly, got dunked.. major faux pas.. in previous posts, i have mentioned my endearing love of great rock (god bless rock and roll), esp.
my teen faves bto, etc.. attending this concert ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yukhsmphvvo ) and watching fred turner's fingers drive me crazy, as one of my children has music in his soul and the fingers of a protege.. i hate that this cult destroys the orgasmic satisfaction that comes from the giving and receiving of pleasure from each others' developed or natural talents or gifts.. god bless rock and roll.. .
@ Vidiot: God loves rock and roll. He even said so in Haggai 2:7
Yeah, but he doesn't like television so it's a wash. (Matthew 17:9)

I've often wondered about this myself. How many "greats" has WT crushed by depriving a person the opportunity to gift the world with their talents?
I despise the WT articles where some now-current JW recounts their story of being an: accomplished artist; musician; dancer; successful business person, etc., only to walk away from it all to "serve Jehovah" when they had the (misfortune) of crossing paths with a JW and getting sucked into the fantasy.
i guess 99.9 % of ex-jw's here could have predicted as much .
armageddon didn't happen in 1914. it didn't happen in 1925. it didn't happen in 1975. and it did not happen in 2014. since the wt society first predicted a world's end when their organization started in 1879 - 126 years have passed which according to any dictionary in any human language 126 years comprises of 4 separate generations each totaling 30 years each.
plus 6 years into a 5th generation.
@ Blondie: Whenever the WTS predicts a time, they have to be wrong per Jesus.
This is such an infinitesimally simple point, yet the talking heads at WT fail to grasp it decade after decade after decade. The mass of their focus is based on something they have been told right from the outset will fail everytime, yet they dive headfirst into the shallow waters anyway and are suprised everytime it doesn't go so well.
Truly, stupid is as stupid does.
the congregation "bible" study (cbs) for the week of december 29, 2014 to january 4, 2015 was taken from draw close to jehovah, pages 179-182, paragraphs 1-8.. paragraph 3 seems to be using the ancient jew's fear of jehovah's thunderous voice to justify the wisdom of him using moses to record and transmit his laws to the people.
but there is an implied false dichotomy here.
since god is supposedly almighty he is most certainly capable of giving a personal revelation of his requirements to every human in a clear, concise and unambiguous manner that they can fully understand and remember - without having to use his thunderous voice.
Bart Ehrman, in his book, "Misquoting Jesus", stated that even among the most "literate" of the early Christians, very few of those were, what we would consider in modern times, literate. Many of those entrusted with copying letters among congregations or copying scripture into "books" were capable of making little more than a series of marks or only basic sentences. And, these were the best people available. Think about that.
It's no wonder the original message, for whatever it was worth, was probably useless within a very short period of time.

Does it not seem a case of eventual probability that if there are more guns held by a given population, that the eventual outcome from that will occur of more guns be used inappropriately by that population ?
Yes, anything is possible with enough fantasizing. Is it possible that the earth will turn purple if enough people watch Barney on Saturday mornings? I suppose, but is it probable? Not likely.
However, you are stating things as facts to carry your opinions without any substantiation whatsoever.
If you are just going to share your personal opinions, then at least be honest enough to preface your comments by stating as much rather than implying you are sharing factual, documented data.

True. But if god did this he couldn't then turn around and condemn 99.9% of people to death for not understanding his will. Clarity is counter to god's methodology.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it true that the Law was only readily available to the priests who were charged with orally instructing the rest of the nation?
Yes. Because most people of ancient times were illiterate. Ditto for the early Christians. The idea WT has that everyone in Israel and into first century Christianity could read and write, and had their own personal copy of the scriptures to consult, is absurd at best.

The point being more guns in possession of the population creates situations of guns being used in acts of violence.
Among criminals. Law abiding citizens are not engaged in criminal acts, nor are they the ones perpetrating violence. Where are you getting your theories from?
The problem that is present in the US is that being that it is known that a great amount of guns are owned by the population at hand, it compels people to own them themselves as a means of self protection.
I disagree with this statement. I've never met anyone who has gone out and purchased a gun for no other reason than other people have guns. I am not aware of any arms race among the Average Joes of America.
Again, I ask, what are you basing your theories on? So far, you've not posted one source of reference to back up your claims.

@ Flipper: ANDDONTCALLMESHIRLEY- Wow ! Is my math bad - or what ? Thanks for the correction ! LOL. 126 years from 1879 - 2015 ? Actually it's 136 years from 1879 to 2015 !
WT's first issue was July of 1879 if I remember correctly, and 2015 just started, dude (I know your partying last night makes it seem like it's already August 2015, Flipper, but it is not...I can assure you of that. LOL).
So, I'm sticking with my 134 year number (133 1/2 if you're going to grind me down to a firm number).
Regardless, WT is still wrong and Armageddon is still predictably not here. Months, years... it's all irrelevant.
