If I had to choose between killing one child to save ten from certain death, I'd kill the child.
Pure utilitarianism.

Look at a coin with a Jehovah's Witness on it. On the other side you will see Hooberus.

Does the sensationalism on this site help anyone?
by logansrun inthread topics like "how to mess up the society"...."what dirty tricks would you pull on the watchtower" and "the society is about to go down the tubes!
" don't impress me.
honesty and forthrightness.

Czar,
By no means am I saying that everyone should hop on the Bradley-bandwagon and agree with everything I say. (Although the invitation is open to the ladies...hehe)
I'm a simple person, in reality. What you see is what you get. I believe that many a topic on this board are distortions of the truth and the bitterness is simply over the top, at times.
I think that improving the quality of discussion on this board -- especially in our portrayel of the Society -- will only help in the recovery process of people here and be of benefit to doubting JWs and non-JWs. I don't like sensationalism of any kind -- part of the reason I don't watch much TV.
Feel free to disagree with me if you want.
Bradley
PS -- When Lloyd Barry died a while ago there were people that made very offensive statments. Talk about "dancing on his grave" complete with pictures of corpses did not say much for the maturity level of many on this site. Your search for the individual threads on this subject would be as good as mine.
PPS -- I like the word "efficacious." I also like "pragmatic."

Criticism is unavoidable
by logansrun inas i've stepped off the train of a myopic weltenschuung and entered the busy streets of competing ideas, i have come to a very interesting realization: all claims, ideas, philosophies, behaviors -- everything -- can be criticised.
it doesn't matter how good your argument is, how beneficial it might be to humanity -- it can and will be put through the machine of skepticism and kinks in the armor will become known.
criticism is unavoidable.

For Stacy Smith - Government Spending still climbs
by Phantom Stranger inconfounding president bush's pledges to rein in government growth, federal discretionary spending expanded by 12.5 percent in the fiscal year that ended sept. 30, capping a two-year bulge that saw the government grow by more than 27 percent, according to preliminary spending figures from congressional budget panels.
the sudden rise in spending subject to congress's annual discretion stands in marked contrast to the 1990s, when such discretionary spending rose an average of 2.4 percent a year.
not since 1980 and 1981 has federal spending risen at a similar clip.
