I agree, all religious people are either idiots or moral monsters or probably both. Until we have leaders who understand this there is no hope for humanity.

Kate,
You've missed the gospel of militant atheism. If a religious leader is not a tyrant it's because he's not really that religious or because he's restrained by secular laws. If an atheist leader like Stalin is a tyrant it's because he's not a true atheist but just belongs to some other kind of non theistic religion.
If this seems contradictory it is because you are just not rational enough yet.

Yeah, no mention of the death and resurrection of Jesus, pretty strange for a 'christian' religion.

I suspect he's just taking a break or decided to move on from the forum, and thought he'd go out in style. No way he's actually gone back.

Go therefore and make disciples!!!!!!!!!!
by DS211 in19 go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things i have commanded you.
i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.. the wt claims this is a command given to jesus apostles to spread the word of christ (by extention right?
), one so profound to hhe wt that it encompasses its infastructure, its foundation to the works-based-salvation belief system.

JWs say they're the only group who follows this command, even though they're pretty much the only 'christian' group that doesn't baptise people in the name of the father, son and holy spirit.
Oh, the irony.

1914?
Actually I think the majority of JW bible interpretations have not changed recently, it would be easier to make a list of new ones.

The seven trumpet blasts of Revelation still refer to seven conventions from the early 20th century.
