  not taxing churches is taking as estimated $71 billion from our economy every year.

  watching one of the late night talk show and the host mention how much dough we could have to help the poor if the churches were taxed.

  i check to see and i b-damn, mormon church spends 7% of its annual income on charity, the average for churches are 29% to help the poor.

  I agree with you all, I really believe if it was put on the ballot it will pass...Six states have laws on the book barring non believers, (so an ISIS believer will have a better chance ). So not believing in God is such a volatile political issue that a simple meeting with people who have ties to atheist group can expose a candidate to a brutal smear campaign. An Upstate Atheist, a charity organization in Spartanburg S.C. offered to lend a hand volunteering at a local soup kitchen, they were surprised to hear that the director of the facility would have rather resigned than work alongside godless members of the community.

Red Cross uses 92.1% of it's revenues for physical assistance and 7.9% on operating expenses. I wonder about JW....

  Why is easier to authenticate Paul existence then Jesus?? I don't recall Paul calling the 12 apostles Jesus disciples, he never says Jesus HAD disciples-or a ministry, or did miracles and gave teaching. The few cryptic hints he offers aren't just vague, but contradict the gospels. It seems that the earliest NT writers were ignorant of the details of Jesus life, which become crystalized in later texts..Paul never mention the wise men, star in the east and his miracles.Paul is silent on the most basic biographical facts and teaching of Jesus. My thought, Paul recognized this Jesus thing could turn out to be BIG....I do believe if not for Paul's writing it would be a different world today.

  Why are the individuals who make up the Governing Body so deluded

  surely these men must see what's going on.

  if they can afford fancy pinky rings, they must have smart phones.

  if they have smart phones, they must be inquisitive as to how they are perceived.

  I finally get why people like to shun.

  it finally hit me today.

  why do religions enjoy shunning.

  because many people feel like being close to god makes them special however just being special is not enough for many religious people that shun they must feel extra special how?

  Without shunning how many of us would still be in the cult, I'am thankful for that practice....A hell of a paradox....

  Mormon Baptizing the dead??

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why the big controversy over baptizing the dead, they are dead folks..i know it's a quirky practice but jewish leaders are up in arms because the lds leaders are baptizing holocaust victims..what harm is it??

  ?hell jw's are preaching everyone will go up in flames no one believe that crap except jw but no one is up in arms, they know they walk a different step....the lds leaders agreed to halt baptisms specifically of jews holocaust victims in 2010 but they are at it again, baptizing jews.

  this is funny as hell to me.

  Mormon baptisms for dead is that each deceased soul accept or reject it, there is nothing in Mormonism that states that the person who is being baptized by proxy must accept the ordinance, he or she is simply given the opportunity to choose. WTH...
