If it's anything like the way they resell the CO's used cars the "suggested donation" prices will be way over market value for used gear.

MNIONC: I agree. But I don't think that they put angels in the same category as "aliens" or "little green men". You do bring up a good point.
Yes of course you are correct, but that just reveals the inconsistency in their "theology" on this point.
Why is the "Universal Sovereignty Issue" unchallenged by the rebellion of the demons, but could not withstand "little green men" or any other biological lifeforms?
It's an internally incoherent and inconsistent "theology."
That being said, I for one do believe in "little green women":

Assuming for the sake of argument that they exist: angels and demons are extra-terrestrial beings.
JWs have not really thought through their own belief system; if they do, they leave the religion because it is internally incoherent and contradictory.

Billy: Why does Watchtower Corp ignore the entire Muslim world as if they don't exist?
My guess is: fear.
The GB don't mind bashing the RCC or similar because they know that those institutions will just ignore them, but they are understandably afraid of Muslim extremists.
It's very much like animal rights' activists that throw paint on rich women in fur coats but not on bikers in leather jackets.
I have come to conclude that, generally speaking, JWs are all a bunch of cowards. They talk tough and all that shit, but they don't back it up when it really counts.

Book Review: The Hunt for Vulcan: . . . And How Albert Einstein Destroyed a Planet, Discovered Relativity, and Deciphered the Universe
by Viviane ini recently read this book and found it to be excellent.
it's the story of how we never stop knowing, how science works (even when it doesn't), how gracefully math can describe the world we live in and more.
the story begins with how sir isaac newton, author of pricipia mathematica and holder of the lucasian chair at cambridge, developed math to describe the gravity and the motion of the planets with no need god holding them in place.
