Absolutely astounded by some of the stories on this page - and to think that the WT$ tries to paint itself to the public as a "loving" religion. Loving...... my ass!

Love and freindship to you all

Howdy again Starscream - if only people could think critically for themselves, then the Governing Body and whoever is behind the Mormons would have their work cut out!

What about pygmies and nomads?

by figureheaduk in

does anyone know if the wt believes that the nomadic tribes in africa and the pygmy tribes living in the rainforests will be destroyed at armageddon( tm)?

since these people have been living more or less the same simple lives for thousands of years in some of the remotest parts of the world, and also i guess there would be a problem with the language barrier, i'd take it that the wt hasn't really been able to spread it's false prophecies and dangerous medical and psychological practices, sorry - i meant "good news" in these parts of the world.

I saw that one too last night - made me sick! And to think that a many christian churches in the world today are probably descendendents from this cruelty and hatred in some way or another. I just hope that this kind of thing can never, ever take place again. Have you noticed how there seems to be very little mentioned about the inquisition by the churches themselves who carried out these atrocities hundreds of years ago? It almost always seems to be brought up by historians. Obviously Christianity doesn't want it's facade of being a "loving and tolerant" religion blown away. Thank goodness there are secular historians out there who are unafraid to delve in the church's past and expose the vile cruelty that went on. And while we're at it, isn't it great that seemingly every day the WT is being exposed more and more as the fraudulent sham it really is?

And yes, it is disgusting that torture and murder are still going on all over the world. If there really was a loving, all powerful god, don't you think he would have created the human race without these evil tendencies?

Any spoof or funny WT/Awake! articles?

does anybody know of any fake watchtower/awake!

articles (or even real ones that are unintentionally funny)anywhere on the web?

Hee hee, thanks Stephanus! the one about Lead poisoning made me chuckle. notice how the borg used ecuador as an example rather than a western European or a northern american country - it was a point raised elsewhere on that thread but don't you think the western docs would have diagnosed the poor kid's symptoms as lead poisoning before the "medical" quacks at bethel would?

I wouldn't class myself as an appeaser. I firmly think that Saddam Hussein is an evil, tyrranical despot and he and his cronies need to be removed from power, even if by lethal means if necessary. However, the idea of blasting Baghdad with more cruise missiles in the first two days than during the entire gulf war makes me feel uneasy about the prospect of war in Iraq. If more evidence can be unearthed by the weapons inspectors, and the UN/ international community give their backing then i would definitely back the idea of action in Iraq. But until that happens, i'll still prefer to keep my (fairly)peaceful viewpoint on things. How about trying to weaken his forces by striking at military targets first? How about helping the iraqi people hold an uprising against saddam? How about enlisting more weapons inspection teams and trying to step up military intelligence in iraq?

As for your comments on world war 2, the difference is that Hitler was a genocidal maniac who was trying to take over europe, and the world if possible. In that war (same as today) I would have taken up arms against him and any invading forces. I also feel that the first gulf war was justified, as the allies had the full backing of the UN since Saddam didn't withdraw from kuwait within the 15 days given. In fact, if Britain were to be invaded right now, I'd be doing my damnedest to fight (and die if need be) for my freedom. So to say i'd be a lampshade or in a prison camp speaking german is a bit over the top to say the least.

I know I can be a bit of a firebrand while talking about Bush and Blair, but the simple honest truth is that I don't like either of them. When Bush first got into power (remember that? If I remember rightly didn't Al Gore get more votes?) I can remember reading about him and thinking "this guy looks like he wants to start ww3". Then there was the ditching of the Kyoto treaty, the high import taxes on british steel imports (considering he's supposed Tony's freind) and so on.He talks tough on his so called worldwide war on terrorism.So how come there's no camp x-ray for the terrorist groups in northern ireand for starters?

As for Blair, my list against him is almost endless. There's so much sleaze, lies and corruption going on in his government. Public spending on hospitals, schools, police etc seems to be at an all time low, millions of british children are on the poverty line, and our military equipment seems sub-standard for desert conditions but somehow he can produce 3 billion or so for this war. I could rattle on all night about how so many of the british population seem to have lost faith in the Labour government, but this isn't the place for it.
