  C.T. Russell's grave vandalized

  by RR in

  i attended a week long [six day] bible student convention in johnstown, pa, just outside of pittsburgh, there was a sister from romania who wanted to visit pastor russell's grave, so we drove the 2 hours up there, the last time i was there was in 1999.

  well, apparently russell'sgrave was vandalized, on the front and back of the tombstone there are these photos of russell embedded into the granite, someone decided to keep a momento and ripped them off, so there's just a hole where the pictures were.

  no respect for the dead, oh well.

  Vandalizing his grave was criminal.

  If vanadlizing his grave was legal would you do it? I would probably take a bulldozer to it and remove it.

  Simon and mods,

  I feel strongly that IW's remarks should be deleted from this thread.

  Blondie....

  Precisely. Respect has nothing to do with it. It is a question of law and ownership. Respect is earned - some people don't deserve it whether dead or alive.

  Reborn,

  I agree with that but as you enjoyed pointing out - there are no moral absolutes .

  So let's take Osama Bin Laden, if he is dead and then buried - should we show him respect because he is now dead? I know I have jumped to an extreme example but I am testing to see where we feel it ceases to be black and white.

  The Borg's fear of demons (Worship Bk, chap 18)

  2. bible

  one characteristic of dubs is a preoccupation and fear of the demons.

  their literature contains descriptions of a contest between the creator god and satan, such as found in their recently publication worship the only true god.

  Ozzie,

  Isn't it amazing what people can be made to believe by using fear?

  we all should respect the dead

  Why?

  What does respecting the dead mean? And once again why?

  Should the U.S. Release Photos of the Hussein Son's?

  by Funchback in

  2. current

  my *personal* opinion is that they should because the people of iraq will probably require some proof.

  i don't have any interest in seeing the photos but i believe that their photos will spread throughout the internet and the news media and curiosity will eventually cause me to peek at the photos.

  don't know why i would have interest in seeing a couple of lifeless bodies though.

  I think they should sell the bodies on ebay.

  Demon believers are dumber than a box of rocks.

  They quote schtuff like the devil was set to devour the kingdom of god and the whole world is lying in the power of satan and his deeminz....that type of nonsense.

  Now they warn us not to have demonic stuff in our homes such as a wind chime (it was invented to ward off evil spirits ya know). Well if satan and/or his pet deeminz are so powerful that they control the world or they could devour the kingdom of god...why are they so powerless that by me removing a windcharm they are immobilized? Or why if I burn the smurf on my desk will the demons be driven away from me? Are they so pathetic that they need to use a smurf to get to me?

  You can't have it both ways guys...are they powerful or aren't they? Do they control the world? If so why can't they just send Bush over to stick a nuke up my ass?

  Think people...please god damn it!!!

  Do you believe Christ returned invisibly ? Did Russell make everything up ?

  by run dont walk in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in january, 1876, when he was 23 years old, russell received a copy of the herald of the morning, an adventist magazine published by nelson h. barbour of rochester, new york.

  one of the distinguishing features of barbour's group at that time was their belief that christ returned invisibly in 1874, and this concept presented in the herald captured russell's attention.

  it meant that this adventist splinter group had not remained defeated, as others had, when christ failed to appear in 1874 as adventist leaders had predicted; somehow this small group had managed to hold onto the date by affirming that the lord had indeed returned at the appointed time, only invisibly.
